Good idea, I'll check around for the prices..it's also a good..look I bought you 5 toys how awsome am I! gift..

Most of us got into Transformers as toys before the show came out - so if he likes Animated on their own merits as toys then why not get him Animated?
Very true, depending on how my cash situation is I might go this route instead, I'm a bit iffy about a ROTF toy because well as you said..

The problem I find with some kids these days with current Transformers is that they lose patience after transforming it for a while and cbb to keep playing with it.
ty for the help guys I'll let you know how it goes.
