Playskool Heroes Transformers Rescue Bots Knight Watch Optimus Prime

The media could not be loaded. Hands down my 5yr old sons fav Christmas present. He hasn’t even touched his other presents yet. I ended up going with this one for the simpler transformation and decent size compared to some other options out there, and it being the optimus my kids are used to seeing on rescue bots. Took me a while to figure out the transformation cause the instructions in the box are not helpful and there are no videos online. The trick is to place optimus face down, grab each leg with your hands and push with your thumbs as high up on his back as possible. (See video) was a little stiff the first time but afterward my son had no issues transforming it back and forth again.

This definitely the coolest looking Transformer we have purchased. It’s by far a favorite. It is larger than the typical 6” size. It was not difficult to transform by a four year old who is used to playing with Rescue Bots. I would recommend it for kids five and up for those not familiar with the line based on level of difficulty in transforming. I would definitely purchase this item again for another gift.

Almost gave this five stars, however it does get stuck at times when transforming which can be frustrating. When going from robot to dinosaur you have to pull pretty hard up on the tail to get it to go, and the tail sometimes snaps off in the process (it snaps right back on). My son is 3.5 and transforms toys much more complicated than this one and it can still be frustrating for him. That being said, we honestly love this toy and my son plays with constantly. The little blue dinosaur doesn't get much attention but he really loves the red one that doubles as a shield. When in either robot or dinosaur form it stands up, even on carpet, which for us is a big deal. He has a bumble bee trex that has horrible balance as a dinosaur. I would still recommend this, just be aware of the transforming issue.

Alright, all y’all pansies who have been posting about how you’d need a degree to get this toy to transform: it just need to be broken in.Great toy.My kid LOVES it. And I mean- it’s one of his favorites.(age 4 1/2)It IS tough to transform it the first couple tries but then once you get the hang of it, it’s super SUPER easy.

I’m hoping ours was faulty and not the norm. My son (4) spent forever writing his first letter to Santa to ask for only one thing: this toy. He was overjoyed to see it on Christmas morning. However, straight out of the box we could not get it to transform at all. Reading other reviews, they are all hard at first but ours was literally impossible. When we tried, both legs snapped and the whole body detached. (Truly, he didn’t push that hard—my kid is 4.) He was heartbroken to not be able to use this toy at all on Christmas morning.We tried to order a replacement and couldn’t find a new one anywhere. We found one on eBay that was used, and have had no issues with it at all—it transforms pretty easily and he hasn’t set it down since it arrived. He absolutely loves it. I’m giving three stars because the toy, when functional, is awesome… but our first was definitely faulty.

Perfect gift for my 3 year old son. He’s loves both dinosaurs and robots, he was over the moon with the two combined. It’s definitely one of his favorite toys. The transformation was bit tricky at first but he got the hang of it after a few attempts.

Grandson's new favorite toy! It transforms easily and the two small dinos are great also. Paid more than it should cost but I've got to say, seeing him enjoy it so much made it worth every penny.

My son absolutely loves this toy! He plays with it for hours. It easy to open. The packaging was good and came intact. Great gift for any boy
