Hi Friend,
You’re about to embark on a “dino-mite” adventure with me,
Bronco the RC Triceratops™! Just so you know, I’ve been
specially created just for you and am part of the VTech®
Switch & Go Dinos® Turbo crew! Switch & Go Dinos® are
a special breed of dinosaurs that transform from vehicle
to dino in a few easy steps. You’re going to love playing
with me!
Not only can you transform me with the push of a button,
but you can help me do other cool things, too! Try using
the directional buttons on my remote control and you can
control my every move. Help speed up my movement by
cranking my turbo charge lever and pressing my turbo
boost button! Customize me by choosing my eyes in dino
mode or picking a driver when I’m in vehicle mode! Press
other buttons and you’ll hear me make awesome sounds,
hear me talk and tell you about my wild life as a dinosaur!
Maybe you’ll even learn a thing or two.
For more fun, be sure to check out the rest of the Switch
& Go Dinos® crew (each sold separately)! And remember,
with me you’re in for some dino switchin’, turbo chargin’ fun!
Your pal,
Bronco the RC Triceratops™
