My son collects them as well so I purchase two at a time of each character. He open his. And he and I learn how to transform the most inticate ones together. Once you successfully transform them it becomes that much easier, and we find shortcuts to do them faster. I love the movie 1-2line. The hardest one of the DOTM line was Sentinel, but again my son and I learned a faster way together. Maybe my way of interacting with my son is how some of these parents need to interact with their children and stop complaining. My son has more fun transforming them then actually playing with them and feels a sense of accomplishment when he does it and then admire the detail of them. That in my opinion is probably what Hasbros intentions were but it backfired.

I know its geared for kids, however I don't feel as if they need so simple. Like making things easier is the key but it a detriment. That the problem with kids today they want simpler way of doing things. These transformers should be educational as well as fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14846463.post-41627667553606948842014-01-22T23:57:52.385-05:002014-01-22T23:57:52.385-05:00Until I started collecting, I never had the opport...Until I started collecting, I never had the opportunity to transform a Transformer. The first one I transformed was MP Prowl. That wasn't too bad. The second one was Human Alliance Sideswipe. Holy Crap! I had to follow along with a video on youtube to figure the damn thing out. Luckily my Mirage, Red Alert,Skywarp,Bumblebee and Asterisk Sunstreaker came already transformed. I don't mind figuring them out and I'm sure I'll get better at it, with every transformation. While I'm not impressed with the new simplified Hasbro version, I know that they're geared more towards kids, which is perfectly fine. <br />I honestly like the Takara, Masterpieces and Henkei better. I will say that I can't wait to see what the actual Drift collectible looks like. Drift has quickly become my second favorite character (one guess at whose still my first favorite). I'm still not impressed that Bay decided to use Sideswipe's alt mode for another character that isn't Sides or Sunny.That's just me tho.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04691200879233252280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14846463.post-29724542840600126822014-01-21T12:28:15.343-05:002014-01-21T12:28:15.343-05:00There's not a problem other than everyone need...There's not a problem other than everyone needs to simmer down.

Toys were excellent. Movies with top-notch CGI and action packed, long complex action scenes. <br />Transformers3 was really lazy with re-used CGI and short boring action scenes and the toys were just cheap plastic too. Nothing new. Nothing good.<br />Now Transformers4 toys look crap again... let's hope the movie at least is worth it and Michael Bay put the needed effort... and ILM is going to deliver proper outstanding CGI once again.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14846463.post-21605050967040368872014-01-21T09:06:56.120-05:002014-01-21T09:06:56.120-05:00I get what everybody is saying, everybody has a po...I get what everybody is saying, everybody has a point. And Hasbro should indeed not forget the collectors. I think they bring in just as much, maybe even more money than the parents buy for their kids.<br />But why sould they look and be more articulate and be difficult to transform? You keep (a lot of them) new unopened in the box, you don't even open the box. I don't get that, I do get you want to keep the box as new as possible, but if I were a collector I always wanted to hold them in my hands once and display them on a shelf, like a lot of you also do.Martinus Primenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14846463.post-19312440691036587362014-01-21T07:57:35.560-05:002014-01-21T07:57:35.560-05:00Tfcollect:yes they are children toys, however that...Tfcollect:yes they are children toys, however that doesn't mean they should forget about collectors.
