    "UNDER COVER NIGHT SCOPE,UNDER COVER MOTION SENSOR,UNDER COVER LISTENING DEVICE AND BONUS GRID PUZZLE."

    You are correct Sir!

    That little Grid Puzzle in the bottom left corner of the boxfront looks pretty cool. Prime's robot mode is shown edging out at the right side of the puzzle, and the puzzle forms the Autobot symbol when solved!

    Yeah, I don't think this will be for the older group, but it would be a really cool present for anyone under 12 in my family.

    Wow...what exactly do those have to do with Transformers? Like a couple people said earlier, it's pretty much like those wacky "spy kits." Boy are they milkin' the movie for merchandise.

    So far, these make little sense...are they bots? I'm gusssing not. It appears as though they simply transform from carabiners into "tools". A plastic carabiner...sounds like a great idea.....not! Hell, I've had metal ones for my keys break on me (just the spring component, but still).

    those are kind interesting. at least they packed them all together for one price (seems like a scout pack, reminds me of the minicon packs).

    Actually I think Human action figures would make more sense than these do. Maybe if they turned into a little robot or had some sort of useful feature they would be better and more worth the money.

    If they made human figures that were in scale to one of the larger classes of transformers coming out would actually make sense both as a toy and as marketing. The human figures could help with the feeling of scale and other fun play aspects. I mean really how many people wish they made a Spike and Spark-plug figure back in the day.

    its just role-play toys. Kids who see the movie will want these to play with.

    I guess once you use the carabiners to climb into the enemy mountain fort they can transform into sweet spy gear to further your infiltration. Or something.

    I'm gonna refrain from making a tasteless joke about Decepticons and Owen Hart, instead say: WTF?!

    Heh, Merchandisers - I'm sure it'll get much, much worse than this - pyjamas, Optimus towels, Megatron cupcakes, Starscream braces...

    Glad I'm not a completist! ^____^
