My son finally got excited by the rescue bots show and loves the "fire truck". Why did no one tell me these things sell for $150+??????? Purpose defeated

Pop into Kmart and Target etc, they sell small rescue bot toys for +/-9, larger ones for $19 & an Optimus Prime with trailer for $39.

I have 4 kids Yes I know what causes it

6yr
5yr
3yr
22mths

My eldest (now 6) when he was 2, had my Henkei Cyclonus (my wife didnt realise how much it 'was' worth) and he proceeded to rub his new teeth all over his wings

I have since then bought all of my kids various Transformers;

Animated Bumper Battlers - By far the best IMO, they have lasted the longest with vigorous play. The electronics are awesome and the correct voices. The kids love them and even though they are few years old now the kids love playing with them.

Legions (DoTM, TF Prime, Beast Hunters) - These are the worst for kids I found besides the figures that I have rescued all are missing arms, legs & weapons some are missing their body.

Commanders (TF Prime & Beast Hunters) Better but as same as above.

Bot Shots - Pretty good, the kids do love smashing them together and they seem (so far) pretty durable unless the step on one.

Rescue Bots - The kids love anything Rescue Bots anything from this line is good.

Mash 'ems - I just bought some for the kids, but they haven't played with them yet as they will be Christmas presents but they look really and have cool playability being able to swap parts.

AoE 1 steps/flip and change - I haven't actually bought any for the kids yet, but they do look very simple to transform, but I think that they wouldn't last to long with my kids rough play, but at the end of the day they are toys and meant to be played with, so the kids might find some in their stockings this year.

That is a detailed test regime. You should sell your toy testing services to Hasbro!

I gave my daughter Happy Meal Animated Optimus Prime to play with when she was about 3 yrs old. She's 7 now and the toy has been passed onto my son who is 4. For a toy that cost $2 to last 4 yrs and not show any signs of play-wear, that's unheard of. What more could you want

Better paint apps! Moving tyres! More accessories!

To be fair though, he's one of the strongest of the Animated Happy Meal line. Especially compared to Megatron.

IMO, if we're talking about 'child friendly Transformers', the less accessories the better

My 2 nephews (4 & 6) are nuts about Transformers and since I collect primarily G1/MP's it makes me anxious when they eye my collection. I did buy one of them the rescue bots prime for his birthday and he takes it everywhere. Last time they were here he kept pointing at Soundblaster asking to transform him and insisting he could do it.
