Does anyone have the Radio Shack Rc TFs?

Okay, I stopped by my local Radio Shack on Saturday, hoping to get a look at the radio control TFs, specificaly the ones that actually, you know, transform.

They'd sold 'em already.

So here's my question... Who out there actually has these guys, and what can you tell me about them? How big are they in each mode? How well does the remote work? Do you push a button on it to make them transform, or is it manual? What kind of articulation, if any, do they have?

What I'd really love is some pictures, but I think that might be hoping for too much. ^_^;

Just got them today. They're about spychanger size. Have yet to put batteries in them and can't remember what I did with my camera to take pics. Manual tranformation just like a spychanger as is articulation. If I can find my camera I'll put up pics unless someone beats me to it.

You, sir, are a lifesaver.

So, what kind of batteries go in the TFs themselves? Or does the remote take the batteries and charge the TFs?

And the big question... Are they worth the money?

Toys take 2 LR44 watch batteries. Controller takes 2 AAA. So far they're the only toys from the movie I wanted. Unless you count the robot heroes. From what I've seen of the movie toys I like them even less than Lio Convoy whom I hate. Went in to get the Bumblebee shell for my zip zap and walked out with all three of these instead.
