Nearly shot my eyes out when I first stared at Optimal Optimus' pretty green chest light, as the switch that activates it also fires the missiles! While I didn't admit to it at the time, I did allude to this hazard in my review of this toy which I wrote back in 1998...

The missiles are blunt and too long to present a choking hazard, but still - having the missiles launch into your eyes would not be the most pleasant of experiences.
