fun and entertaining for the young ones Sep 20, 2011
By L. Steiner
I'm not sure what it is about transformers, but I've never seen a little boy who didn't like them. I first bought them for my son, who is now in his thirties. However, some of the other versions are much more complicated than this inexpensive toy. It appears sturdy and my grandson transforms it A LOT. He just turned 4, and it is easy for him to maneuver, and his uses his imagination with it as he uses it to play with his other toys. He enjoys it mostly in its robot form and carries it around all of the time. I plan on buying more of these for my grandsons.

 durable Oct 12, 2011

i gave it to my son for his 4th bday. its almost a month now and it is still in one piece. he has tossed it dragged it on the ground pulled on its parts and its still going. lasted a lot longer than i thought. he has no trouble using it either. its simple to transform which is the main reason i bought it. great quality for a good price.

Easy enough for an almost 2 year old Sep 13, 2011
By M. Kelley

I cringe anytime my wife buys our 4 year old another transformer. I am not good with these types of toys but my son loves them. When i got this one, I was happily surprised to find that it can be transformed with just a few simple twists and turns. In fact, my 4 year old quickly tossed it aside and handed it to my 1 and a half year old who easily converted it back to a truck.
The toy is very sturdy and has held up well with my little one tossing it around a bit. I think the recommended age for this transformer is more based on the type of toy that it is rather than the difficulty level. I would prefer my kids to play with more educational toys, however, I grew up with these types of toys so I find it hard to not let them play with them. So this has lived mostly in the hands of my 1 and a half year old who prefers playing with it in its truck form. My 4 year basically does not have any interest in it as he prefers the more complicated ones to transform (that I can't stand).

My 4 year old son loves it! Sep 15, 2011
By Jay

I grew up watching and playing with old school die-cast metal Transformers in the 80's and think it's pretty darn cool that my 4 year old loves Transformers as much as I did. However, he's not old enough yet to "transform" anything complicated which means typical Transformer toys involve my son handing me the toy, converting it to vehicle mode only to reverse the procedure about 60 seconds later when he wants the robot back (I curse the day I got Lego Transformers for him!).
This toy got delivered while I was on a business trip and my wife sent me photos of my son transforming this guy back and forth all by himself. Meaning, we both love this toy more due to the independence it gives my son to play. Obviously, it's plastic and the days of die-cast metal Transforms passed decades ago but since this toy has relatively few moving parts it seems like it's holding up well. I think I'm going to order him another one to "fight" with, I think they are well worth the $12 entry price for the enjoyment it brings my 4 year old.

A kid-friendly Optimus Prime Sep 15, 2011
By Jerry Jackson Jr.
The Optimus Prime Transformers Rescue Bot is a very basic but still very fun Transformer toy for younger kids. I remember my old Optimus Prime toy that I had when I was a kid, but the old toy wan mostly die cast metal with some plastic. That made the old toy durable but it also made it dangerous if you played rough.
The new Optimus Prime Rescue Bot is mostly made of thick plastic with no obvious chocking hazards for smaller kids. My 5-year-old daughter and my 2-year-old son enjoy playing with this Transformer. My only real complaint about this toy is that the head doesn't always stay in the "closed" position when you transform the robot into a truck ... so sometimes you end up with a truck that has a robot head sticking out of the top rather than a truck that transforms into a robot and back into a truck.
That sort of defeats the whole, "robots in disguise" idea if the robot's head is still sticking up when it's supposed to be a truck. ;)
Other than that, this is a fine toy for a small child who want to play Transformers.
