Product Description

Decepticon Dropshot is always fighting, even when no one else is. He takes every opportunity to pick a fight, and is always the first guy to throw a punch (or fire a missile). If the robot he's fighting with doesn't fight back, well, that's fine with Decepticon Dropshot. The way he looks at it, anyone who doesn't fight is a coward and deserves a beating. He's not really interested in having a reason to fight, and he doesn't care whether his side wins or loses, as long as he gets to pound on someone. Other Decepticons avoid him, unless there are Autobots around for him to pick on.

Insert the activation key and unlock all kinds of cool features in both robot and vehicle modes! This battle-ready DECEPTICON figure features a flip-out cannon and slide-out missile launchers with firing projectiles in robot mode! Convert the mighty robot figure to a mean, green missile tank in vehicle mode and activate the rotating turret! In either mode, this fierce-looking DECEPTICON DROPSHOT figure means business?are you ready?

Robot-to-vehicle figure comes with two hidden weapons and an activation key that activates cool features, like a flip-out cannon in robot mode or a rotating turret in missile tank vehicle mode. Measures 6".

We have gotten some transformers recently that were not well made, but this one is. It also is very easy to transform, which makes it nicer for younger kids both in that they won't be running to you for help as much and because they won't be breaking it as easily trying to twist it in the wrong directions trying to transform it back and forth.

Disappointing, really, really, disappointing. It's not that it's a bad toy as such but the list of minor niggles add up. Considering the character it's based on (TF fans will know) and the Classic/Universe line this should have been so much better. It's fine to use an old mold (see my review of Blades for example) but the colour scheme doesn't lend it's self to the design at all. The transformation is too simple and a mistake like, in robot mode, he has no way to store the rifle except in his hands, which are then blocked by the key activated weaponry, is just plain stupid.

Pros
- Awesome weapon systems
- It's another Decpeticon which the line is sorely lacking
- That's it

Cons
- Brown tracks? Really?
- Awesome weapon system slightly ruined by dumb design
- It's a repaint of a Cybertron figure, it's nothing new.
- Oh and it's not even had the 'Cyber-key' changed to a Decepticon one. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Overall poor, but for $6.99 he's filled a gap on my shelf. At the back. Behind bigger and better figures.

My kids (4 and 6) were excited to get these for X-mas. (I bought two from the series.) My 6-year old picked this as the one toy to take with him to the family get-to-gether.

The transformation from truck to robot is prety cool, but a little over their heads. The toys seem a little fragile, but so far (3 days) they are holding up fine.

The one thing that worries me is that both came with a key to open up the weapon systems that is likely to get lost. It seems that you would be able to jam something else in the slot to open the chamber, but that would wreck some of the fun. Also, the projectiles will likely get lost, but you could still play with the toy without them.

I think they were worth the discounted price.
