Times have really changed and one proof of is the type of toys children are playing with these days. While dolls and toy cars may still keep kids entertained, popular toys of kids in this generation include remote controlled toys, video games, and of course toy robots. Even boys as young as 3 really enjoy robots.

Here are the best robot toys for 3 year olds.

Optimus Prime

The first on the list is the Autobot leader – Optimus Prime from the movie Transformers. Of course, everybody knows that Autobots are good robots and like in the film Transformers, this toy robot enjoyed greatly by 3-year old boys can be transformed into a semi-truck.

The second best robot toy for 3 year olds is none other than the Lion Force Voltron. This high-quality toy robot is very popular because of its five different metal toy lions form a big robot.

To complete the list of the best robot toys for 3 year olds is another robot from the movie Transformers. It’s none other than the arch enemy and leader of the Decepticons – Megatron. This toy robot can turn into a very realistic jet plane with a .380 semi auto gun.

Toy robots have indeed come a long way, starting as a toy for kids from ages 7 to 10. Today, even three year olds have quite a few robot toys to choose from. You’ll want to make sure you check the package for recommended age ranges. Sometimes, though, you’ll be buying one of these toy robots for your “adult 3 year old.”

Is your child a Transformers fan? Transformers have been very popular action figures at different times over the last 25 years. With the release of the last two movies it seems as if they are even more popular especially among boys 5 years old and up. So what are the top Transformers action figures?

Transformers are robotic beings from the planet Cybertron. Optimus Prime is the top robot (and action figure). He is the leader of the Autobots (the good guys for those that have not seen any of the programs or movies). What little boy doesn’t want to play that he is the hero or the leader of a group of heroes?

Megatron is the second top seller at this time (how can we have a hero if he has no one to defeat). He is the leader of the Decepticons which are trying to conquer the universe. The Autobots work with humans to help them save the Earth.

Devastator is the third most wanted and is aptly named for his brute strength and ability to destroy all that gets in his way. He is also an Autobot.

They are named Transformers because the robots turn into various vehicles according to their size. Some are cars, some are tanks and some are not even vehicles. These Transformers are just tiny little things such as a microwave (though you are not likely to find any action figures of those.) There are also Transformers that are made of many vehicles that work together as one.

Overall, these are great toys that challenge the imagination of anyone who picks one up, no matter their age.
