If you have boys to purchase presents for this Christmas you must have a look at Transformers Leader Optimus Prime.

Transformers have been around for many years and you might well find that Dad doesn't want to part with this one.

It is so brilliant that several adult enthusiasts have awarded it five stars. The recommended age is 5 years and more although to be fair, younger children will require help transforming this particular model into a truck.

So exactly who is Transformers Leader Optimus Prime? He is a robot that desires peace and believed he had eventually reached it after countless years fighting the Decepticons.

However he discovers that Starscream has been freed and is also amassing a massive army on earth. Optimus Prime must go back to the fight if there's any hope of Earth getting rescued. He collects his human and autobot allies and hunts down each and every Decepticon until eventually they are all destroyed.

This transformer not only changes to a truck but when in this particular mode, the engine revs and he gives off racing sounds. Unlike a number of designs in this range the paint isn't scratched when you transform from one mode to another.

Fans of Leader Optimus Prime like the fact that he seems very like the actual film version and Peter Cullens voice saying "I am Optimus Prime" goes down nicely too.

Is this toy appropriate for the younger kids? Well if you wish to help them learn patience and to take care with their toys this is an ideal model to get.

They are going to love the fact that it seems to be the same as the one on the TV and hopefully that will be sufficient to help them to play with it with care.

However for young boys you might want to give them a cheaper edition from the Transformers range or possibly one of several Fast Action Battlers and keep this particular one for them to appreciate when they are older. It's not a cheap toy and even though it is well-built you might panic when they play with it too roughly.

To really excite an older child or grown-up collector you might include Transformers Human Alliance Bumblebee as part of the bundle. The toy is very detailed and it is this detailing which attracts the more mature audience. That in addition to the fact acquiring these toys allows them to relive their youth.

In other words, when you are shopping for boys this holiday season, Transformers Leader Optimus Prime and/or Bumblebee will probably delight them.
