I bought this for my 7 yr old son for Christmas. He had it at the top of his list, I couldn't resist after the price dropped significantly on Amazon. My son was thrilled with this toy, it came with nearly all needed to run it and recharge. The toy is very well built, fires discs and spins at a VERY VERY fast speed which my kids think is awesome. This is one of the better R/C toys out there that we have had experience with. Highly recommend!

I noticed these were being deeply discounted on Amazon so picked one up at a screaming price. The Triclops is a very interesting looking and uniquely controlled R/C vehicle. The transformation mode adds a lot of interest to it and with the shield up the "face" is quite menacing looking. The disk shooting feature is also very cool and the aiming LED is surprisingly accurate. The one area that this vehicle loses luster is in the control department. As is typical of other lower-priced R/C toys, there is no speed control. It's either full speed or off. Unfortunately it is so fast that it makes reasonable directional control impossible. It goes great in a straight line either forward or backward, but turning it left or right is frustrating as it constantly either over-rotates or under-rotates. The side-slipping control is neat and also unique in the R/C toy world, but it tends to spin slowly as it side-slips which also complicates controlling its movements. Driving it around indoors is quite tricky, expect to run into the walls and furniture quite a bit. It controls better on carpet than on tile too.The control issues are really a shame as this would be an unbelievably cool toy at 3 times the price if it had better control characteristics. As it is I'm giving it 4 stars at the discounted price and would give it 3 stars at full price.Also, don't expect to keep the disks for long! They shoot quite far and are easily lost. So far I have not been able to find replacement disks. They're not on Tyco's site, so I'm going to try and call their support number.

We bought this for my son's 11th birthday and he loves it! It has a lot more power then I thought it would've and the disks it shoots go pretty far. My son has a lot of fun playing with this and it's fast to race with too! Very impressive item (which we got on sale), I am very happy with my purchase!
