Transformers: Aliens In Disguise As Robots By Shusakuu on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
Ahh!! The robots we all know is back! However, are they really robots in disguise? The truth is they are not!!! They are aliens on the run. Well... on to the real subject. The transforming Optimus Prime is back in stores. The model itself is amazing because of all the details and coloring. Also, when I found out you could shoot out stuff, I was just amazed. I kept shooting cans with my mini-robot which made me feel like I'm partners in whatever I'm doing. But there is some problems with the toy which I foun horrid. The toy must've been created by Einstein because it's nearly impossible to transform into a car. It took two hours to find you could tuck his head into it's back and four to find the legs twist into wheels and tucked into the legs itself If I were a kid, I would hate it already and throw it away like that. Even though it has many faults, it is still a wonderful toy(if you're smart).

My son loved transformers when he was a kid. Sounds like they might not be as good as the older ones!
I think my husband would enjoy this! It sounds like you've had fun with them!!
I can't believe what is old is new again! My son had everyone of the Transformers when he was little. I think it's great that this toy is now enjoyed by another generation of children.
My son has a few of these and they are pretty hard to transform between the cars and the robots. It took my husband a while the first time he did it too. My son would come in every few minutes and ask him to change it back and forth. He has had lots of pratice now and can do them pretty quick.
Transformers were cool when they came out in the 70s or 80s and they are still cool now! The Optimus Prime in your picture is so colorful! As far as this one being hard to transform... I seem to recall the parents not being able to transform the originals back in the day and the kids being able to do them up and back again in no time flat.
I would have given up after 20 minutes! Thanks for sharing and I really liked your personal slant on this transformer. Can't believe these are still around, Great job!
