Rating: - Looks like great toy
I bought this Transformers for a little boy in a family we were buying for for Christmas. I did not get to meet the little boy and I wish I could have seen him open it up on Christmas morning. So I do not know much about the toy, but it looked great in the package.

Thanks for the prompt delivery. It got here in prime condition.

Rating: - Easier than some other models
We have several Optimus Prime models including one of the larger and more expensive ones. This one IS easier to transform in that there are only a few steps to do it. However, the parts do not click easily into place and it takes a few minutes of jamming and rejamming, and still I cannot get him to look perfect. The doors on the bottom keep opening no matter what you do. My 4 1/2 year old cannot transform this on his own at all and I needed to look up the picture online to do it myself.

Rating: - Disappointing
This toy is very difficult to transform between robot and truck. Once it is in either form, it works ok. It rolls well and his joints move well in robot form. That being said, we have shed a lot of tears with this transformer. This toy frustrates my son (and me because I end up having to fix it). That being said, it is one of his favorites despite the fact that is definately not made for small hands (or mine!). If this is level 2 difficulty, I can't imagine a level 4!

Rating: - It's like it doesn't WANT to be fun.
I just picked this up for my Prime collection, but it seriously pisses me off they market these as kid friendly. All the springs and lack of firmly locking tabs make it want to spring apart the entire time you handle it. Too bad, the robot mode is so cute.

Rating: - Difficult to transform
Bought for my 4.5 year olds knowing they wouldn't be able to transform it on their own, but I never expected it to be so awkward to transform even for two adults. I wouldn't recommend buying unless for a teenager and I would save the receipt and packaging.
