Mattel's Matchbox Rocky the Robot Truck is an interactive dump truck designed for children ages three and older. Talking, driving, lifting, dumping, and even dancing, this toy dump truck is a boy's robotic companion. Speaking over 100 phrases, Rocky has a clever line for everything. You can do all the work by hand, or get him to help out.

What We Think

Fun factor:
Durability:
Ease of assembly:
Novelty factor:

The Good: "Hard work" made enjoyable with talking and jokes.

The Challenging: Difficult to get directly to dance mode.

In a Nutshell: Interactive robot truck lifts, talks, dumps, and dances.


This is no ordinary dump truck -- Rocky talks and dances. View larger.
Load 'Em Up and Move 'Em Out
Built with strong, durable plastic, Rocky is ready to handle heavy loads. Your child can manually tilt his dump bed to unload it -- or make some noise and he'll do it for you. And when you push Rocky forward or pull him backward on all six wheels, his blue headlights are activated and he'll make some noise of his own, with engine sounds and honking.

The smokestack on the front of the truck is the primary way to control this robot truck. Tilting the lever back gets Rocky to stand on his back four wheels. The truck is automatically set in dump mode, but pressing the red button on top of the smokestack several times will switch it to dancing mode, where he'll shake his upper truck body to music. Pushing the lever forward returns Rocky to a normal truck position.

The red button also cues Rocky to say one of his many phrases or jokes, and also wakes him up if he's taking a nap. If you don't play with Rocky for a while, he will go into sleep mode -- a may even snore. Kids get Rocky's attention by placing objects in his dump bed, or by pushing or pulling him.

Make Some Noise!
Rocky is very responsive, interactive, and engaging -- often prompting kids to make noise so he can show off his dancing and dumping skills. Because you can play with him manually or with his help, Rocky makes playtime easy and simple. However, with only one button for a couple of operations, Rocky's automatic modes may take some getting used to for younger children. They may have a difficult time getting directly past the robot's talking to get to the dancing mode.

Rocky The Robot Truck comes with four "C" batteries.

What's in the Box

3 out of 5 stars cute truck but lacking on fun factor for my son   May 16, 2010
J.C. (Texas)
I ordered this truck for my son's 2nd birthday as he is really into trucks and it seemed that it would make a good replacement for the Elmo Live doll that was not very durable. It looks cute and dances and talks just like the commercials, but for some reason my son and some of his older friends just don't have any interest in it. It is a little loud and awkward when it moves, so maybe he is scared of it. For the money, I'm disappointed, but have hopes that this cool dumptruck will be more interesting when he gets older.


3 out of 5 stars OK but not worth the price I paid   May 6, 2010
Will A. Wheeler
This is a cute truck that does so many things. I do not think it is worth the price I paid for it this past Christmas. My 2 1/2 year old just left it sitting in the corner so he does not care for it. It is not made as well as I thought it would be.

This was a Christmas gift for my 4 yr old grandson. I have to admit I winced at the price of this truck. But the excitement when he opened this made it worth every penny. Even the adults are entertained. Several months later, he's still having fun with Rocky.

Deberah Brooks
This truck was worth every penny. I can't afford to send a lot on toys for my grandchildren but, this one was worth it. It does so may thing and my grandson doesn't get board with it. Even the granddaughters like it!


4 out of 5 stars Entertaining but a little noisy!   February 28, 2010
Proud Grandma (Minnesota)
Purchased this as a Christmas gift for my grandson. He loved it! Seems sturdy enough and is definitely entertaining. The only negative, according to my daughter, is that it is somewhat noisy.
