Product Description

Have you ever watched the Autobots battle the evil Decepticons in Transformers and wished you could be in on the action? Now you can create a world of fantastic paper robots that you can color, print, and build yourself with this amazing book and CD combo. It has everything you need to complete the fantasy--thorough step-by-step assembly instructions and illustrations are in the book, while the CD has 14 ready-to-print, customizable robot templates.
Colors, designs, and size can be manipulated using any standard editing package so you can create over 250 variants for a full robot army. The models print out on letter-sized paper and are assembled using rubber bands or fishing line, it's that easy! There are even templates for a cityscape suitable for crushing or a Super Dimension- type fortress for a robot takeover.
From shape-changing Transformer-types to chunky Gundam-esque mobile suits, there's mecha for makers of all skill levels. So if you're a first-time model maker or just a fan of robots, anime, and manga, there's bound to be the perfect project waiting for you in Build Your Own Paper Robot.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice book, only 12 robots, August 29, 2009
Pros: Nice robot designs, well detailed directions, and some flavor text description that older children would probably enjoy.

Cons: Only 12 robot designs, not "hundreds".

I'm guessing that the publisher put "hundreds of mecha model designs" in the title because the templates for each of the 12 robots are provided in 2 formats: both a colored pdf file, and an uncolored psd file. While some people will appreciate the opportunity to use Photoshop or Gimp to custom-color their mechas, I hardly think that is sufficient to call 12 mecha designs "hundreds".


Decent book, dishonest title.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, September 28, 2009
By Reader "angie42" (Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews
My son also expected "hundreds" of robots on the CD, but there are only 12. Bear in mind that you have to purchase card stock to print the designs, use your own color ink (ours ran low on the first one) and then cut out each design. A lot of work for one model.
