Paraphrased from public owner reviews. Each one links to where it was posted.
Bought a complete set and enjoyed building it. Pleased that Soundwave came with Ravage, but the batteries in Optimus Prime and Grimlock did not work.
Thought the figures were metallic based on the marketing, but still likes the designs.
Got Sideswipe, which is very poseable and has survived being dropped and taken apart. Had to watch a video to assemble it correctly.
