snake eyes
this snake eyes look better the 82 version of snake eyes but best one its.

Nice
I don't open any of my packages, so the Amazon star system doesn't translate well. But I just have to say that this is probably the coolest of the Snake Eyes figures. He's totally black, comes with a lot of accessories, and just looks dangerous. A nice 'Joe to have in you collection.

Nifty mostly black version here
What can be said about black version commando Snake Eyes? It's cool to add to your collection and be sure to lend him a sword from the version with Timber that came out before this one. Has to be the only gripe considering he is commando, ninja and specialist in edged-weapons is that there is no sword. Easily positioned with multiple points of articulation that put the original 3+3/4th " joes to shame.

Eyes of the beholder
Kids love LOVE love these transformers, Grandparents think " a thing of beauty, not perhaps" but everything that lights up the eyes of a grandson is a beauty. Hours of entertainment. Highly recommend. I am not sure how the kids figure them out so quickly!!!!!!!

Its the only transformer I can actually change back and forth!!!!
My son is 5 and he loves transformers but some of them are sooo hard to change back into the robot and back to the car or in this case the scorpion. If changing them is a challenge for you, buy this one, even my 5 year old can change it back!

Robot Mode
When I first saw this toy's robot mode i almost cried thinking that such a cool transformer deserves a cooler look. But when I got the toy I found out that when you really have the toy it's robot mode is very cool. SCORPONOK RULES!

Scorponok Transformer
This was a huge hit with my seven year old son. It transformers fairly easy and seems to be pretty durable. Every transformers arsenal has to have a few "baddies" and this is definately one bad dude! Way better construction than Megatron which took four adults 3hrs. to figure out HOW to transform him!

Small but Fun
This is 9th transformer and I am quite happy with it. Sure, it might have a bit lame transformation, but if you turn it upside down, with the legs as arms and vice versa, and tail as head, it looks like a dragon thing. Scroponok is quite small in robot form.

Dissapointing
This toy is disapointing.

First of all, this toy looks very little like the Megatron that was in the movie. It is stubby and stocky and presents none of the lethal intent the movie character does. The vehicle mode only slightly looks like the vehicle from the movie, and the transformation is much harder than it should be considering the results.

In robot mode this toy is hard to pose and unstable when standing. The feet do not support the toy except in a very narrow range of poses. The toys hands are useless and do not even look like hands, they cannot hold any of the other toys weapons or anything else. The "Chain whip" is kind of neat, and a nice nod to the original Transformer's cartoon character, but was not featured in the movie. His hand supposedly combine to form a "Fusion Cannon" but it looks nothing like the movie version. Also, the gun doesn't stay open without holding it open. The arms have a lot of kibble in the form of the "nose" of the plane, which serves no purpose in robot mode. The lights and sound gimmick it only OK. The Scream kind of make sense for this toy, but the yellow lights do not (blue lights for the ice, maybe?). The lights and sound gimmick add weight and bulk to what should be a fairly thin figure.

In Vehicle mode, the legs fold under the wings, making them look blocked up instead of like wings. Also the "tail" of the aircraft doesn't really lock into place and can flop around if touched. If the tail flops it tends to knock the legs free from their pegs on the wings. The wings are meant to unfold automatically, but this never fully worked on my toy. They unfold, but never fully without me having to push them down until the gear locks (there is a visible white gear on the wing hinges). Also the head is completely visible while in vehicle mode. The arms form the front of the plane, but again do not lock together well and come apart easily.

All in all this toy suffers from a lot of the same problems many other movie transformer toys suffer from. The character was designed for the movie first with no thought to how the toy would work, and the toy suffered from it.

Hey, It's Megatron for crap sakes!!!!
My son is only 5 but he's dying to get his hands on this toy. He doesn't want to convert it to a plane, he just wants to get Bumblebee and Optimus Prime together to kick his butt!!! It's over-priced sure, but for the 30 minutes my son will take to destroy it....why the heck not. Yea, my kid is spoiled. He's all about Bumblebee anyhow!

Great Toy!
Bought this for my 3 1/2 year old for Christmas and he really likes it. He isn't able to transform it yet on his own so do not buy it for a child under 8 unless you enjoy doing the transforming! It is sturdy and amazingly detailed though. Very impressive engineering! Well worth the money.

Cool Toy!
Received it quick-on time for Christmas, my 5 year old loves it, plays with it still!! It's a little cumbersome to figure out what all it transforms into and the pieces come off that can get lost easily but all in all, great toy, keeps him occupied!!

Megatron!!!
Transformers Movie Leader Megatron
This product is really awesome. Difficult to transform to vehicle mode, but then that's part of the fun. Don't buy it for your young kid though. It's for older kids like me (30). I'd recommend for any Transformer fan though. Overall it is well worth it.

More Chinese Junk!
I got this for my son based ont he review here that said that this toy was pretty durable. THIS TOY IS NOT DURABLE. We opened the package and two plastic pieces immediately fell off. Then as my son was playing with it about 5 more pieces of plastic fell off. There are so many panels that are spring loaded that are held on by weak plastic hinges that will just fall off.
I should have known that this was junk when I saw this toy in the store with a bunch of clear rubber bands holding it together. I find it crazy that they have to use rubber bands to help this thing keep it's shape. Could you imagine buying a used car with a rubber band holding the door closed?
When are we going to stop buying this plastic junk from China and force them to make higher quality stuff?

Optimusly Primed to Recommend this Transformer!!!
Optimus Prime was drop shipped to Guam and from what I understand there are many knock offs imported there from many different parts of Asia that are not of the superior quality of this product. The kids are able to transform him without having him fall apart as the others have. This product may very well be made in China; however quality control is of optimal prime importance.

Optimus owns
I am very impressed with this figure even though i thought i was going to hate it. It is the most durable Transformer figure i own. It looks great in robot mode and has excellent articulation. He uses the smoke stacks from vehicle mode as guns. Prime transforms into a blue and red Peter Built truck. The vehicle mode is also quite nice. Both the robot and vehicle mode are very detailed. One gripe. This Movie Voyager prime is not tall enough by my standards compared to the other Transformers. So I will be purchasing the leader class optimus prime. The reason this will not hurt the rating is because this is a movie voyager and can only be but so big.

Not too bad.
Transformers are fun again, for this 36 year old, after seeing their quicksilver transforming sequences in the unexpectedly satisfying 'Transformers' film last year (2007). Morphing, already blase, has been immediately rendered antique in comparison with the realistically-engineered transformation patterns by which these hardwired puzzles with souls keep undercover. The problem, as far as children's toys are concerned, is that even these "dumbed-down" Transformers can be near-impossibly complex and frustrating to rubik back and forth between vehicle and Bot at the constantly changing whims of one's children. Transformers Movie Voyager Optimus Prime isn't as hard as Transformers Movie Deluxe Class Bumblebee 2008 Camaro--the only two I've had the pleasure of playing with of late, but even with the poor instructions that inevitably get lost, the Prime ain't an easy rig to rig up for children, or adults, unless, perhaps, one has a degree in mechanical engineering. Another reason I shouldn't have majored in English Literature.

My Grandson Loves This
While this toy is a joy to my grandson, it is a little fragile and pieces break off easily. However, they are re-attachable, but frustrating sometimes to the child trying to transform the truck into the autobot.

Good one
Didn't really like the movie truck design too much initially, but after watching the movie a few times, I decided I wanted it real bad! :-)

Overall, I'm really happy with it, though I wanted the version with the flame decals (out of stock), instead of Prime's 'classic' colors.


Good points:-
- Not too complex to transform. The instructions were pretty detailed and it took me about 5-7 minutes.
- Very stable on his feet! He's got nice, long feet and they take the weight of his body very well. Good balance too and very posable.
- Considering he's a 'voyager' class, Prime is taller in height when in robot form than my other voyagers (Classics Megatron & Ultra Magnus, Movie Thudercracker, Animated Starscream) and very close to height as my WingSaber ('ultra' class).
- Cab door that opens, autobot symbol on the front are all nice details.

Quibbles:-
- The front end of the truck folds up behind him like a 'back-pack'. Seen from the side, it looks like Prime really is carrying a backpack! I think those parts could have been detached and placed elsewhere.
- The smokestack-cannons are a bit long and sort of un-Prime-like. I've never seen Prime weild two guns, and I don't want to start now! What's even worse is when you store them behind his back in robot mode - they're way too tall and look like antennaes or lightning conductors!


Even then.... it's still one of my favorites.

Way more complex than product description describes
I bought this toy for my son's 5th birthday - he's a huge fan, and one of those kids who's into everything, taking things apart and generally tinkers with stuff. After several hours of messing with it, he finally got the hang of it (us adults haven't yet). It would have helped knowing that it takes 13 steps to transform from rig to autobot. Also, if pieces are moved too much in the wrong direction, they come apart (better than breaking) so you end up with several pieces you're not sure where they go. May be better for ages 7 and up instead of 5. But if you want to keep a kid who's always pushing buttons and taking things apart entertained, this should do the trick.

optimus prime
I bought this for my son's 7th b-day. He was very excited about it, but the first time he played with it, a piece fell off. We still can't get it back on. This didn't stop him from playing with it though. He still loves it anyway. Overall a great toy but I wish I hadn't payed 30 bucks for it. I would be happier had I only payed 15-20 bucks.
