Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the product's affordability and the enjoyment it provides, making it a great Christmas present. The sound effects are a big hit. However, the transformation process is frequently criticized for being unclear and overly complicated, especially for younger children. Some customers also feel that the toy is better suited for older children due to its complexity.

    This version of Bumblebee is pretty impressive from a design standpoint, both the car and robot forms look great. The sound effects are a little entertaining and a nice plus. The actual transforming process is quite challenging though as the plastic parts are pretty thin, pretty fearful I'm going to break something. Probably would reserve this for someone older than my 5yo.

    A bit complex for younger kids to figure out. Love the transformer Bumblebee especially since they saw the movie

    My son begged for this for Christmas when we saw it the other week. Fortunately, I got it during a pre-xmas sale, as transformers are rather pricey. My son is almost 7 and has a ton of transformers, but this one is definitely a bit complicated for him to transform on his own. It says it can be done in 17 simple steps. So just an FYI for parents before you buy this item.

    Nice transformer. It can be cumbersome to transform. However, the parts are sturdy and fit nicely together when assembled. Getting the feet in the right place can be a bit challenging. I wish it were a little easier to transform. Over, I am very pleased with the transformer.

    Fun toy, but a bit on the difficult side to properly transform back and forth. My kids finally figured it out and can transform him with little trouble. This dad still struggles though...

    Kids like the movie and definitely liked the toy although they were a little frustrated at first trying to transform it into the car but after a while got it down pat. its nothing like the old school die cast ones but good enough

    My 5year old son has been asking for this toy car as a birthday present. He so love it, the only down side as he couldn’t convert it to Robot or back to car as it is a too hard for him. This toy is for bigger kids.

    I purchased this "classic" version of Bumblebee for my son's 6th birthday. Other than being a little hard to transform (at least for me), it has been a good purchase.

    The build quality is great..it's a good size..but it can be difficult to convert as the instructions are not that great to understand...but once you are able to do it it gets easier the next time around.

    It doesn’t stay together as a car like I assumed it would. It took a few kids and adults to figure transformation. They should of made the age on the box higher.

    Could not resist. I drive a 43 year old beetle. Bought a second Bumblebee for a friend who also drives an old beetle. Best Buy had best description and price. Delivery was right on time for both deliveries.

    Well made and attractive, but honestly it took a really long time to transform this thing. Once we converted it to the car we almost dared anyone to undo it! LOL

    My son loves Bumblebee but this has been so far most difficult toy ever. The instructions to complete the transformation is vague. Now he’s playing with half car half Autobot.

    My son has wanted one of these for a while so we got it for him for Christmas. He is happy but as many of the other reviews said it is not easily transformed from robot to car. It took my husband one hour and watching YouTube videos to figure out how to transform it. And even then it wasn't a perfect fit, but don't know if that is on us or the toy. But my son who is 6 likes it so that makes me happy.
