One minor design flaw is that the limbs move only at the shoulders and hips, thereby limiting the moves they can make. But they are built to last and loads of fun.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Fun, exciting, designed for small hands The Bad: Strike plate is small, hard to hit In a Nutshell: Provides hours of entertainment At a Glance Ages: 6 and older Requires: No batteries or power source required

Keep track of hits with the zero-to-five bar--the first one to land five hits wins the game. Or defeat your opponent by targeting the strike plate and knocking the robot off the platform. When taken off the base, the Transformers stand on flat surfaces and make a great everyday toy.

Easy and Action-Packed
After being a staple of virtually every home in the 1980's, Transformers are now a favorite for the new generation. With a simple design and easy game play, this toy amuses little boys for hours. Shaped like a joystick, the base features a slick futuristic design adorned with the Transformers logo.

Lightweight and durable, the base is easy for small hands to control and maneuver. The action figures boast intricate details and moveable joints at the hips and shoulders. One minor design flaw is that their knees and elbows don't bend. When playing the game, the warriors are somewhat limited to sidekicks and uppercuts, but once the fighting frenzy begins, most children won't notice.

Another slight drawback is that to knock your opponent off the platform, you have to hit the strike plate, which is so small it is nearly impossible to reach. Kids will enjoy trying to land five hits first and the numbered bar at the top allows them to easily keep track of their score. Overall, the Transformers Robot Fighters game is simple to play and packed with action.

What's in the Box
2 robot Transformer action figures, 2 bases, and decorative decals
