Vehicle & track set MATTEL Hot Wheels City Ultimate T-Rex Transporter HNG50 — transforms from hauler into dinosaur, battery-powered (3×AAA), plastic, multicolour

The Hot Wheels City Ultimate T‑Rex Transporter is a vehicle and track play set that converts from a 20+ car hauler into a stomping, growling T‑Rex with a two‑lane race track on its back. The plastic transporter stores more than twenty 1:64 scale Hot Wheels cars, includes two 1:64 cars, and is battery‑powered (3×AAA) to activate lights and sound effects that match the dino’s animated actions.

Advantages

This set combines vehicle storage, a transforming figure and powered effects in one toy. In hauler mode it rolls and captures 1:64 scale cars, then a simple motion converts it into a T‑Rex with animated stomping, glowing eyes and sound effects. The two‑lane track on the dino’s back allows immediate head‑to‑head racing, while included cars let play start right away. The plastic construction keeps the item lightweight for transport and play.

• Imaginative play and storytelling inspired by the Hot Wheels "Let’s Race" series

When it may not be suitable

The set is designed for children aged 4 and up; it contains small parts (1:64 scale cars) that are not appropriate for very young children. It is made of plastic and uses three AAA batteries for lights and sounds, so it may not meet preferences for wooden or non‑powered toys.
