Product Description
With a rhino-type "skin" and a scorpion-like tail that whips around, the Shell Shocker is one beast of a radio control vehicle. It transforms from a cyberball to a cyberbeast in seconds! Mud, grass, pavement can't stop the Shell Shocker, the incredibly adaptability will fascinate kids! The Shell Shocker vehicle's special creature features and bio-mechanical design is unlike any other radio control vehicle ever with a back wheel that allows for flipping action and the ability to drive over obstacles. The front arms turn the vehicle by moving in an up and down motion. Three modes include shield, explore and attack. 49 MHz. Requires Tyco Pro Flexpack Battery Pack and Charger (not included), plus one "9V" battery (not included). Measures 13" long.

 RIP-OFF January 27, 2007
This toy has left us shell-shocked. The fact that it doesn't come with the battery it needs to work is ridiculous, as is the fact that it broke within one day of purchase. It wouldn't morph and only sporadically moved around. The replacement that was sent (after paying for shipping of the remote back to the company) also lasted for one day. When it worked, my 7 year-old son LOVED it, but that just meant he was devastated when it stopped working both times. Now we have two huge pieces of plastic that don't do anything. When you're charging nearly $100 for a toy, the expectation is that it will work for longer than a day. Save your money!
 Fun for my 7 and 10 year old boys!! December 28, 2006
This toy has been great so far. I purchased it for my 7 year old who just had to have it for Christmas. I found the battery pack right on a rack at Best Buy for $20.
The 2 boys have laughed and played for hours with it. My 7 year old took his Christmas money and purchased an NSECT also by TYCO (all battereies included) and he loves that too. Only problem now is that the radio frequencies conflict so they cant play with them at the same time. I should have checked that.
I would recommend either of these toys for boys their age. I love to watch them light up!
 Very very fragile. November 30, 2006
The fine print on the box tells you this is a "multi-terrain" vehicle, instead of an "all terrain" vehicle, this is because while they advertise it to go through sand, and grass, and mud, what they actually mean is that it will go through dry sand, such as you would find in a desert, dry grass, such as you would find on the african savannah, and dry mud, such as you would find in their fertile imagination. Mine has shorted out and stopped working just going through dewey grass.
Fun, but broken easily June 17, 2006

My son loved this toy at christmas, however in less than an hour it was broken. The gears had stripped on one side, and it never made it out of the house. Now, amazon.com was very good in saying they would send another...I sent the broken back...but the toy was on back order until April, 06. I waited, at the request of my 8 year old son who wanted it so badly...the time came and went...the only way I knew what was going on was by my contacting them...they never bothered to let me know of any problems with the order...but always apologetic. I finally asked for a refund in April because they told me it was still not available....now I'm stuck with the battery pack that doesn't go with anything else....and after reading all the other reviews, I wouldn't chance getting another one, even though my son did love it.
Outstanding Toy But Choose the Correct Battery March 23, 2006

Before I talk about the toy, everyone please note YOU MUST ALSO PURCHASE THE TYCO PRO FLEXPACK BATTERY PACK. I'm sure it's just an oversight on the part of Amazon & Toys R Us. However, the ad for the Shell Shocker only states that the toy requires 2 AA batteries. So wrong. The ad also shows that people who have purchased the Shell Shocker have also purchased the TMH Flexpak Battery Pack and Charger. I followed, but was mislead. To top it all off, because we opened the package, we were to be charged for shipping to return it. Wait! There's more. When you search Amazon for the correct battery pack, you are redirected to BananaToys.com (...)Toys R Us worked it out for us though. Our local Toys R Us store had the battery pack in-stock (...), allowed us to return the incorrect product to the store, and they credited the cost of the wrong battery & shipping charges. Thank you Toys R Us.
As for the toy. It's amazing. We bought the Shell Shocker for our grandson's seventh birthday. He absolutely loves it! I'm sure who has more fun with it--him, his dad, or his grandfather. Watch the tail--it can inflict pain. But if you're aware and careful, it's just a blast to play with and watch!
