Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Command & Convert Animatronic Optimus Primal Toy (12.5”)

Love how primal has been crafted the detail is so spit on from the characters weapons and all. Really enjoy all of his phrases when he says them his movements are quite entertaining. Only downfall I wish he actually walked but he is a stationary toy that reacts to movements around him. Very well thought out other then that.

The animatronic portion is super neat. It’s like the toys are alive. I do wish Primal had more movements on the animation portion. The sounds are neat, but the playability wasn’t as great as I had hoped.

We have a few Transformers around the house, and they are something our almost 8-year-old grandson has been pretty interested in since he saw a couple of the movies. This particular one is the coolest Transformer we've ever seen! It's the Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Command & Convert Animatronic Optimus Primal (not to be confused with the Optimus Prime figure). This thing does stuff we've never seen a Transformer do before. It literally transforms itself from beast (a large knuckles on the ground gorilla) to a standing up helmeted warrior and back again for you. You don't have to lift a finger; you just have to tell him to transform. How cool is that? He says quite a few things and our grandson, his dad and his grandpa have all been playing with it and talking to it and getting it to answer them. They're having a ball with it. I didn't realize that the grownups were going to have so much fun with it too. It's a very sturdy and well-made toy and it's pretty good sized at maybe close to 15 inches or so. The only thing I would caution you on is our grandson has a habit of getting right in the face of this Transformer when he wants it to talk to him. It has arms that raise up and down that have swords in them, and we've had to tell him to keep his face farther back a couple of times so he didn't get hurt by one of the swords in an eye or something. I'm chalking this up to kids ignoring safety stuff at this age because it has not been an issue for anyone else that has played with it. It's recommended for 8 years old and up and he is 7 years old and 10 months old so it's probably more choosing to ignore us on his part than a real hazard. He's already doing better at that since he got it but he's certainly advanced enough intellectually to play with it even if he's not quite 8 yet. He thinks it's one of the coolest toys he's ever gotten. I tend to agree with him. And yes, even Grandma has been playing with him. Shhhh, don't tell anybody.

This is so well designed and very intricate. My kids absolutely love to play with it! The the vocals are great and its fun to play with. Even the dog likes it! Haven’t figured out all the tips and tricks of yet yet

I received this transformer about a week ago and am so pleased that I did. I feel the size is perfect and it makes playing more fun. It is very easy to use (from the transforming to the animatronics). It is great how you can command the toy with your voice to say and do different things. This makes the imagination and play with this so much more fun. The toy is well made.

This is an amazing toy. Great for kids that have issues transforming toys on their own and it’s interactive. I couldn’t find what batteries it took by reading the box unfortunately so I had to look into it by doing some research before my child could play with it properly. Seems sturdy and durable. Not very big. Took a picture next to my hand to show relative size

My child loves transformers especially Optimus Prime so this was a good treat for him. It's interactive with over 100 sound and motion combinations. Always a surprise. I would have loved to have kept this as a collector piece but with kids, that's hard to do. lol

This is such an awesome toy.my son loves transformers and now he can command it to do what he wants. He loves this toy and plays with it as much as he can he has others as well he uses with this toy to make them all transform and show them off.

This is an excellent addition for any collector of action figures. It has over 100 auto-converting poses with sound. You can actually speak commands to make the movements. This is the new technology. It's going to be a great collectable item
