Was kind of hard to transform, parts fall off. Kids still like to play with it.

YOU TUBE is your best source- just type in the name of the transformer in the search box, and there you have it! Probably the easiest instructions (and a good review too) you can get. Nice quality toy-(A fairly decent representation of a V22 Osprey), can convert it in less than a minute now, kinda like a simplified rubics cube,(think of it as kind of a cool puzzle). My 4 year old son loves it(although he needs daddy's help to convert it). ALSO DON'T PAY MORE THAN $19.99 FOR THIS TOY!!

I saw this model on a website prior to its release and was instantly drawn to it. Even though it's not from the movie, and I'm not a big fan of alternative models, I have to say, it's a great addition to the movie toy line.
Pros:
-The transformation was very easy compared to some of the other voyager models. It was also very creative; in plane mode, you can barely make out the robot beneath.
-The arms and legs have a wide range of articulation. The arms can be rotated and bent in almost any direction. Even though Incinerator has the plane tail behind his back like Blackout, the legs are not as stiff and can be posed with relative ease.
Cons:
-Like the previous review, the engines are upside-down/switched. I tried to open them to put them on the correct side, but it is glued down from the front so removing the screws didn't help. Unfortunately, there is no way to correct this without breaking the toy to remove them.
-The spinning blades do not work well. Mostly because there are two of them placed far away from the trigger AND sharing the same mechanism. Blackout's spin is much better. But this does not take away from the attractiveness of the toy.
Overall, I gave this a 5 because the pros heavily outweighs the cons.

I saw this in the store last night and my jaw dropped to the floor! Yes, a V-22 Osprey Transformer! I bought it and went straight home to show my wife what I thought would be the coolest Transformer ever. Play-wise, it's great. Transformation is a little difficult at first, but easy enough to get the hang of. The one thing that kills this, though, is that in flight mode the engines are mounted upside down! Aaghh! A perfectly good toy except for this blaring inaccuracy. At first I thought it was simply put together wrong, but after checking the box and instructions and examining it more closely, it was designed that way. What happened, did they look at one picture and imagine the rest? Oh well, robot mode looks cool and hopefully Hasbro will get it right with the next one they put out. In the mean time, I was able to take the engines apart and swap them, but with GREAT difficulty. I would NOT recommend taking that route. If you don't care for accuracy, go ahead and buy this one. If you're a stickler for detail, wait until Hasbro does an effective re-design.
