5 Stars Good For My 1st ROTF Figure
I went to my local Toys R Us and today, we have ROTF in stock. I got this guy and legends class Bumblebee. I was looking forward to this guy since I first saw him. The only real complaint I have is that the ball hinge on one of his legs is looser than the other. But very minor. I wanted to get FAB Skids, but they didn’t have him. I recomend this.
5 Stars Movie Soundwave: One Devilish Looking Decepticon !
with Transformers: Revenge of the fallen coming to theaters later this month..i like others were excited to hear that Soundwave the Decepticon Communicator, and megatron’s head Intelligence officer will be making his big screen debut.
when i first saw spy pics of Soundwave in january i was shocked..the design was a radical departure from the tape deck character we all know. But, this design works for the film..his disguise is a communications satellite. in short Soundwave rocks! lots of detail here.
he is one Devilish looking decepticon the design retains his G1 style head(great touch takara/hasbro !) the color scheme is reminiscent of his g1 days also. he is quite poseable and is well built…i like his claws and his arms they wanted the movie transformers to look totally alien, and they succeded..
he also comes with ravage that launches from him ( ala g1 days) ravage as you know is the cassette Kitty that is loyal to soundwave..however hes not transformable…perhaps a later version will have a transformable one because hes in the film. mabey laserbeak too? one can only hope:)
Soundwave, is one of my favorite Decepticons, and i think they did a nice job on him..hes worth getting. like Optimus prime, hes hard to get..i went to 2 stores before i landed 2 of him (one to open and one to keep sealed in the package)
pros: its soundwave!
good articulation
movie accurate detail in all modes
cons: ravage is non transformable (they probably did this to keep the price lower)
if you can find soundwave, grab him..hes worth checking out. (hope they keep his cool monotonic voice for the movie, like prime’s the voice is classic)
keep this one away from little Johnny, hes a bit fragile and you know how kids are careless sometimes…these are made for the collector and rightfully so..
RAVAGE….EJECT…EJECT
Transformers Movie 2 Voyager The Fallen
For Millennia, he has waited. Thousands of years have dragged by as he recruited proxies, one by one, to scour the cosmos for the artifact he required. Now he finds he must return to the primitive, flesh-slug infected planet on which is quest began. Nothing will stand in his way this time. If need be, he will scour the surface of the disgusting world clean in the fire of his rage, and search through the blasted rubble for that which he seeks.

5 Stars Neat looking
The big bad villain the Fallen. He has a nice or should I say interesting bot mode. The “jet” mode is pushing it very obvious they created the bot first and just thought they could convert him into something that looks vehicle-ish.
He’s limited as far as posing goes. He can only move his head in and out for this “energy panels” He has no ball joints for wrists so again it can only go up and down. Legs and arms have free movement though.
He’s pretty sturdy though his leg did pop off once, but I popped it back in and had no problems ever since.
His feet are kind of annoying if you move him too much. Other wise I like the fact that they just plop into place if you set him onto a hard smooth surface.
Overall he’s awesome looking overall though limited in certain aspects but definitely worth the [...]. Would recommend.
Bakugan Battle Pack (Styles and Colors May Vary)
This Bakugan Battlepack Teal and Red Set has small spheres that magnetically morph into powerful Bakugan warriors when they roll onto the real metal gate cards. Use strategy to place your metal gate cards effectively as each cards affects the battle differently. Then master you precision shooting skills to roll your Bakugan into battle and win.
The popular and fun anime TV series “Bakugan Battle Brawlers” has spawned this strategic game that pits a variety of “Bakugan warriors” — such as “Juggernoids,” “Fear rippers,” and “Robatallians” — against each other for points. With this Bakugan Battle Pack, kids 4 and above will enjoy the challenge of earning points by rolling their Bakugan (or shooting them from a launcher) onto magnetic cards where the plastic spheres burst open to reveal the fearsome warrior apparatus inside. Kids will also love the way the Bakugan transform suddenly into warrior mode, and fans of the show will have an especially good time with the game.

5 Stars bakugan!
My son loves these! They are exactly what he expected and entertain him for hours. They are much more durable than I expected, that is always a plus!!
4 Stars The kids love it…
I purchased this for my 7 year old son. He and all of his friends like trading them and although they’ve not yet played the actual game they compare the values on them with the points. They have a spot on them that is magnetic and when they are placed on a metal they open revealing a character. The only slight negative I have with them is that when the kids forget where they stuck them, they are very hard to find! They are really indiscreet little things! It’s kind of funny, because you know they are in the house somewhere and when you least expect it, one looks back at you from a door hinge, or a metal planter or something 
5 Stars If you don’t get this toy then you missed out!
This toy is the best toy I ever got! It includes twelve cards (six gate cards and six ability cards) and six random B2 Bakugan Brawlers (balls). The only problem is that the balls do not fit in the Bakugan launcer (not the handheld launcher, the launcher you put on your arm). You can still buy the older smaller balls wich will fit, or you can buy the handheld launcher. Anyway, this is a great product, a must have!
5 Stars I Love Bakugan
I Have 4 Bakugan, and I love them! I’m on teams with my friend Ford Draper. He has a Black Hole card that counts as Doom Demention! I only know one of my Bakugans name, and his name is Dragoe.Thanks for reading!

5 Stars Awesome Batman toy with so many activities for younger kids
I purchased this for my son for Christmas last year because he had been eyeing it for some time in the store. It was not a disapointment at all. It is very durable and well-made. The little characters are very detailed and the cave has so many things for my child to do. It has a warp-looking hole and a clear plastic “jail.” It also has an elevator that goes all the way to the top and all kinds of doors and stairs to go up. I was so happy when I saw this toy because I was some-what of a Batman fan growing up, and my son isn’t really old enough to enjoy the traditional action figures that are available. This was perfect for him and he truly does enjoy it and I enjoy watching him play with it.
5 Stars No batteries - excellent fun!
My son got this for his 5th birthday. He has other Imaginext toys and loves them, so this was perfect for his Batman party/birthday. All the kids love to play with it (girls too) and because there are two sides you can have people on each side doing things, so there is no arguing! Imagination plays a bit part in the play that happens, so it really is worth it. Portable too - love it!
5 Stars fun toy
My son loves this toy. It’s durable and it folds up and can be transported very easily. Lots of imaginative play with no loud sound effects.
5 Stars favorite toy at the party
My son, and all his friends, were thrilled with the bad cave!! It has soooo many doors, levers, lines, windows, etc. It kept them busy for hours and we still intend to buy the accessories for more hours of play.
5 Stars My boys LOVE this!
I bought this for my boys (ages 4 and 5) for Christmas and they play with it all the time. I especially like how it folds together and latches to close for storage. They use all of their different “guys” with this Batcave. Great investment and well made!

4 Stars My son loves it!
My son really likes this Bakugan. He has been wanting one of the bigger ones so I found this online and it was a hit. The one thing I was a little disappointed about was the fact that you do not have the option of choosing which large Bakugan you want. The description just says “Bakugan May Vary”. I ordered two and felt it would be fairly obvious that if I were ordering two, I wouldn’t want two of the same one. Well, of course, I received two of the same. I just ended up giving one of them to a friend of my son’s for his birthday.
4 Stars Best gift
I gave my Grandson this toy (which I have trouble pronouncing) for Christmas.
He was thrilled because he has asked me to buy it for him. He plays with it all the time. I guess these toys are real popular at his school.
5 Stars Deka Bakugan - loved!
My grandson absolutely LOVES this toy– he’s got the biggest Bakugan in the neighborhood and that made Nana quite the hero!

5 Stars Amazing….
i pre-ordered this toy like, two weeks back, it looked like it was going to be the best in the toy line. And I’m pretty sure it IS! This toy is (as the title suggests) AMAZING! I really like the flip out blade feature. unlike most transformer toys not a whole lot actually pops off. Once in a great while the foot will fall off, but it’s not at all often. I got several from the new toy line and and from the 2007 movie line, and this is the best figure I own, hands down! The transformation is tricky to say the least (I spent two hours trying to get it to truck mode) but once you do it a couple times it gets easier. It really is a battle ready toy as well, It is sturdy and easy to pose. And unlike some where you have one pose and a kid couldn’t really play with it, this one is perfect for that! Especially if you have Leader class Megatron! Anyway, overall an AMAZING toy!!
5 Stars Unbelieveable, until you get it in your hands!
When I first spied leaked photos of this figure, it was difficult to imagine they could make such a toy transform tightly into the truck that we all know. This one must be seen (or better, physically handled) to be believed! The transformation is amazing, and more intricate than anything before seen in the movie lines (and probably in any Transformers line, actually, ‘cept perhaps some of the Masterpieces).
Plastics seem to be a little better than the first movie Prime, and the paints are finely done as well. Super poseable and stable. Parts are easy to pop-off, but pop back easily as well (which if you accept, puts the durability to at least 4 stars). Sounds are improved, with a line from Peter Cullen this time round. And the best thing? It’s probably as movie accurate as possible, short of making a bigger toy!
Negatives? Well, the wheels are now plastic (not rubber), and have a habit of going out of line in truck mode. The fingers/thumb are no longer articulated. The head doesn’t really look up (mainly side-to-side). The Transformation will test most adults, let alone children! And the way some pieces pop-off may be annoying to some buyers.
Despite the negatives, though, this is one amazing figure, and can be very highly recommended. If you only get one Revenge of the Fallen figure, then make it Leader class Optimus Prime!
5 Stars no words nesessary?
This is truely the figure to get out of all of the Transformers ROTF toys. Brilliantly reimagined with a painstaking transformation not recommended for children under 10 years. Also the lack of pin and hinge support is apparent when parts suddenly pop off but can just as easily be put back on. Also the fingers are not articulated like the last one and it has plastic tires. But these are very minor flaws considering the accuracy of the robot/truck mode. All I can say is that this IS the definitive, though pricier, movie leader class Optimus Prime. Go through amazon, they are a very trustworthy organization for things like these. They find the very best possible in terms of quality and steadfast service. Those are the values that I found anyway. the toy iteself is approximatly 13′ inches tall, slightly taller than the last film’s Optimus Prime. Very detailed with a really cool gimmic called “Mech Alive”. That means that they have incorporated very good design features to where actual moving gears that would normally be seen in their films counterparts, are found in the figures themselves. Improved animatic strips away the separating windows, pop-up head & space laser noise, with something more refined. With chest piece pushed down, his torso moves with startling realizm as if he were talking a deep breath to say a simple line, “I AM OPTIMUS PRIME” in Peter Cullen’s actual voice no less (Peter Cullen is Optimus Prime for those of you who don’t already know that). Stop reading this review, and just get it! 10++++++ A++++++++ (CRANK’S THE KNOB TO ELEVEN)
5 Stars ” I AM OPTIMUS PRIME” this a work of art folks !
Just got my Revenge of the fallen Optimus prime today on my lunch hour.
when i first saw spy pics on this version of prime..you really couldnt see the detail..now that i have him sitting on my desk..it was WORTH the wait! he was always my favorite transformer.
this Transformers 2 version is far superior than the first movie’s Prime(its still a great depiction though).. when you look at this one you’ll see right away that its Optimus . Its virtually cg accurate to his screen self. its the real deal.
The quality is incredible..it ranks right up there with the masterpiece Optimus Prime(which i have standing next to this one )
the plastic is more durable…he feels “solid” and well built…but i still wouldnt let little 5 yr old johnny, play with this unless he has an engineering degree. cause some parts can be fragile during transformation. these are made with the collectors in mind, and rightfully so. if you were around during the generation one era you know what im talking about. i got 2 of these one thats staying sealed in the box and the other is for display.
the paint job is more movie accurate. its also great that he has an autobot symbol on his chest.. i like the swords that come out for battle, but i wish they would at least have given him his trademark blaster rifle though..but this works also.
the moving gears feature is also a unique addition..you can tell that alot of thought was put into this Prime. takara/hasbro has a winner here …no wonder hes flying off the shelves.
the icing on the cake is that they incorporated actor Peter Cullen’s voice too! for the sound bite saying “I am Optimus prime!” when you press the “try me” button…you press it his eyes flash, chest rises and lights up as he introduces himself in his majestic/regal voice. that we all know and love.
for you non gen one fans..Peter cullen was the voice of Prime in the marvel/sunbow Transformers animated series…whis is really the only REAL transformers series period. they made a wise move in getting him to reprise prime for the films.
i cant say enough good things about this autobot … if you get only one transformer from the Revenge of the Fallen line…this is the one to get. you wont regret it.
pros: peter cullens voice (nobody else can play prime)
Movie accurate in robot and semi truck modes
pretty good articulation/ excellent attention to detail
Packaging is better this time around
cons: well only one..no rubber “Desert Dog” tires.
Autobots, transform and ROLL OUT !
5 Stars A True Work Of Art
I’ve been collecting transformers since I was a kid and if there’s one thing I’ve ALWAYS hated about the toys up until now, it’s that the product never accurately matched up with the character on the screen. Now, keep in mind that back in my day, things like what we see in CGI films like Transformers weren’t at all possible…but Takara Tomy finally broke that depressing streak with THIS figure. This has got to be the most impressive example of planning upon planning for a perfected design that features an extremely complex transformation (at first)- but after the first few times you get the steps down pretty easily (only took me a few days). If you compare the 2007 model/version of this figure to the newly redesigned 09′ model- you’ll see a SIGNIFICANT difference in character comparison. This IS Optimus Prime, not just some inaccurate toy, it’s so close to the CGI character that I don’t see any mistakes in the design- if anything it’s PERFECT. Every detail matches up with the CGI design so well that it’s just AWSOME! The toy is durable, AND when you transform it, parts don’t rub against each other and mess up the paint job- which i know some perfectionist collectors ABSOLUTELY hate. Buy this figure, because I honestly don’t think you’ll ever find another TF product this close to character/toy accuracy! BUT, i will say this- if you’re a real collector and you want character/toy accuracy…go with the Takara Tomy version instead of the Hasbro version. The Takara Tomy version’s name is RA-01 Optimus Prime and you can find him on the web in plenty of online stores. Get that version, because if you look closely you’ll see that it’s paintjob is actually correct while Hasbro’s model has some of it’s parts painted red instead of silver- don’t settle for that lol. Mkay, well- happy hunting and have fun with this product!

4 Stars Entertaining
I got these for my son, his very first, he loves them, and mostly he likes to watch them open, so, wherever there is metal, he is sticking them!
5 Stars Bakugan
My son was dying to have a Bakugan so I found this and got it for him. I believe it came with 3 bakugan and some cards. There’s a magnet in a couple of the cards that your Bakugan lands on and sticks to. I had never heard of them before my son was asking. He likes his and plays with them all the time. He took one to school to show his friends.
5 Stars Bakugan
My son plays with these nonstop. They are very entertaining and super durable. They even withstand being snatched by my 2 year old!

4 Stars bob review
its very fun except without the slime and by itself, its kinda boring, the slime stays together and doesnt ozooe all over the table. you can get this for a kid any age, but if you are getting for a kid 4 and below, take away the slime.
5 Stars motoxfamily
I bought this for my 3 year old who loved the movie. He loved this toy. He makes him eat up everything he can find. It is pretty neat!
Transformers Movie 2 Deluxe Bumblebee Figure
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Instructions people, read em, its not that hard, really, lol
First of all let’s just clear something up about all these negative reviews: as for popping off parts, in the instructions it SAYS that parts are made to pop off during transformation so that if YOU the user was forcing it too much, it will pop off (and can be easily popped back on) instead of snapping and breaking off (like if you were to force an older gen Transformers figure). Its a feature to save kids from breaking their brand new favorite Bumblebee people. Try reading the instructions.
Admitedly, yes, several of the new movie Transformers have some of the most insane Transformations I have ever seen in a Transformer. I think its impressive and wowed me. It was a lot more like the way they move about in the films. Gone are the days of flip the calves/feet down, pop out the arms, rotate torso, flip up head DONE. And there is a very good reason for that: creating a FAR SUPERIOR robot mode. The robot modes are so impressive in these new Transformers its insane and this Bumblebee is TOTALLY my favorite. He’s extremely close to be the spitting image of his on screen self. Amazing head sculpt with perfect detailing, even his chest plate folds down in the center like its supposed to on film (which its not flipped down all the way in package, just FYI). I love this figure to death. Its one of my favorite Transformers ever, and I’ve been messing with these things since Bumblebee was just a little Bug with articulated arms and a flip up head that couldn’t turn and a hologram logo on his chest/roof. This figure is amazing. Period. The kid in me that loves robots and cars is happy in both modes. The adult in me that can respect sculpting, articulation and engineering is even more wowwed. Don’t listen to these haters. If you love Transformers, want the best Bumblebee ever made, and can READ SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS properly, then do not pass up this amazing toy!
Transformers Movie 2 Deluxe Sideswipe
User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Jazz v2.0
Sideswipe from Transformers ROTF is a new character from the movie, but as the previous reviewer noted, tends to look like something we’ve seen before. And this applies to other new characters from the movie as well.
Conceptual art pictures of the character feature dynamic poses that look just like ol’ Jazz.
Colors are much like that of ol’ Jazz too, so what can we expect from the toy?
For starters, this is, by far, a much better toy than Jazz… and this could be said for most of the new ROTF movie toys.
PROs:
- Painted body in vehicle mode: Yes, it’s all silver and it’s quite boring. But the real life concept car is all silver and it’s very stunning. On the other hand, Jazz was just a lump of gray plastic that showed warped swirls from the injection mold process. In this toy, the whole car, all it’s plastic body panels are PAINTED silver (This is a FIRST for Hasbro!).
- Clear plastic headlights and tail lights: These look very cool. In Jazz, these were almost the only painted accents from the otherwise unpainted plastic toy.
- Complex transformation and tons of articulation: The robot mode has a lot of articulation and piston-like bits that work, which is way cooler than Jazz, Bumblebee and other toys from the first movie.
- Robot mode proportions are more slender than the bulky Jazz. The weapon of Sideswipe are his arm mounted blades, which are quite cool to rotate into position. The hands and other molded details look fantastic.
CONs:
- Big clear plastic parts: clear plastic is always more brittle than regular plastic, so it may break easier. It’s not as bad as ROTF Deluxe Sideways, though.
- Complex transformation (level 4 out of 5 if I recall correctly): some parts are hard to get into place. Some just won’t ever fall into place, like the back windshield + tail portion, which you can see jutting up in any product picture.
- Lots of panels in vehicle mode = lots of visible seams. More like gaps inspired in the Grand Canyon.
- Robot mode looks great and somewhat accurate to concept art… except that it lacks any paint. I mean, even ol’ regular Deluxe Jazz (not the Premium Deluxe Jazz) has more paint applications in robot mode than this guy!
Sadly, this seems to be the trend with the ROTF Deluxe line of toys: great paint in vehicle mode, but NO paint in robot mode. Good thing is, with the molded detail in these toys, a little touch up will do wonders.
This toy then is geared towards children older than 7, because of it’s complexity and small parts that can detach. It will appeal also to older collectors, like me, who will need to fill the void left by the greatest transformers toy line of all: Takara Binaltech, the plus side being that these are way cheaper than the imported Takaras.
4 Stars the new jazz… sorta
The majority of all transformers have similar characteristics. Whether it be the overall design of either car or robot mode, they all have a unique style at the same time. In Sideswipe’s case, he is a prefect ballance of two different Autobots. The two being Jazz and Barricade, at least in the movie incarnations. Sideswipe is a Corvette Concept with silver paint and blue tinted windows, similar to Premium jazz’s appearance, though with better quality. The headsculpt bares resemblence to Decepticon Barricade. However, everyone knows that Sideswipe is an Autobot. Could he be somewhat related to the two? Who knows what sub-plot this autobot has in store in the film Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. This figure has great posability with a great sculpt a wonderful attention to detail. The only problems I have are the occasionaly popping off of parts during his transformation and having minor balancing issues with the way the feet have to form in robot mode. Other than that, this is a great figure with great modes throughout.
