    Fun little toy. The back is bit messy in truck mode with the arms and chest plate exposed, but the robot mode is decent and more poseable than anticipated (arms + head). Cool that the hands are also compatible with 5mm pegs.

    wait...so you push a button and the freakin thing explodes into a robot?!?!?

    EFFFIN AA dude!!

    That actually looks GREAT. I can see picking these up to play with my son. To have DECENT..now Cmon guys..these are DECENT bot modes, and alt modes..with ONE step TF mation?!?!

    Hasbro should put out a full page flyer in the coupon mailers, for "$7 off TRY ME you kid will love it" to get these in kids hands..The drift one I seen looks the worst, but hell Optimus didn't look that great until I seen these pics..

    I KNOW my son and me will play with these BIG time.

    Thanks for the write up. Keep these comin...Im getting a kick out of seeing the 1 steppers..I think Hasbro nailed it on a DECENT kiddy toy now.

    There's already a video showing the transformation on YT, from the toy fair I think.

    Whoah, these are only slightly bigger than Activators? Somehow I had the idea these would be more like the FABs in size. Meh!

    (Which reminds me...Fast Action Battlers already WERE the simplified toys Hasbro wanted, and I'm not sure they sold that great...)

    Thanks for the review!

    Probably because they were too big and too expensive.

    So they shrunk them down to activator size.

    Actually I thought these looked totally uncool until I saw they're that small. Makes the details more crisp.

    I was looking at my One Step Optimus when I realised that mechanically he's actually the same as Animated Activators Ratchet, just inverted in robot mode. I'll take a quick pic to illustrate what I'm talking about.

    Cannot ask too much from this type of toy, but seeing those arms and fists sticking out in vehicle mode, plain sight, still feels weird. I mean take Animated Activators for example, Ratchet, Bumblebee, maybe also Prime, etc, at least hides the arms and fists.
