I’m extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with this set. I’ve purchased many lego sets before, including others with “moving parts” (technic vehicles, star wars ships, etc.) and this set is by far the flimsiest. For a set that is literally designed to transform between vehicle form and figurine, you would think there would be more thought put into the strength of the pivot points. The waist breaks nearly every time you try to pivot it between forms, and several pieces are always falling off (“lights” above feet, etc.). If there was ever a set that i’d actually recommend just krazy gluing, it would be this one. Overall build quality is just poor and for the price, very unfortunate.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

As both a Transformers and LEGO fan, I have to say that this is a beautiful piece, each of the steps that this set takes you through is a dream come true accompanied by the fun facts that you will find in the instructions manual. I highly recommend this set to any one that really enjoys Transformers and a pleasant building experience. 10/10.
Really, if you can't design something well with lego, then don't. This garbage is so fragile that as long as you touch it, it'll disassemble into pieces. Transform? Are you kidding me? It barely stands as a statue.
The legs pop off easily. I wish you could pose the legs and torso differently, you have to keep it in the same position which puts the chest at a weird angle, if you try to adjust it, it'll fall apart at the hip area.
First - the pictures of the dark blue and black pieces on the dark gray paper were VERY hard to see. More light gave it glare. REALLY difficult. Many of the pictures didn't make clear exactly where something was supposed to go. Love the look of the finished product. After all the reviews, we're pretty nervous about transforming it. We'll get there - just going to enjoy it as is for a little while.
