You can purchase one of these semi-trucks, which are 19 inches tall.
There’s no greater level of awesomeness than what you see. Motor1.com employs pop culture nerds from multiple generations. But this is beyond that. This is not just Optimus Prime. He transforms from a semi-truck into the most powerful Autobot. This real robot Transformer walks, talks and can be controlled by voice or radio.
But there’s more.
Robosen’s Optimus Prime can be controlled in two ways. The smartphone app acts as a radio control and can be used to control everything. You can also omit all the hands-on stuff and tell Prime what you want. You can use it to move, talk, and transform. However, this is not done by saying convert but convert. Although we don’t know what the problem is, can tell it to roll out. You know what happens when that is said? He transforms into a boss and emerges like he did in the 1980s. This is so cool!
This isn’t a one-off event. Robosen and Hasbro made a deal to bring their mechanized Prime on the market. The reveal was held at the Hasbro Pulse fan fest just days ago. The Prime retails at $699 and preorders can be made at Hasbro Pulse. Although the availability of this limited edition product is not yet known, we are told that it will be available soon. Is it worth $699 We are eager to have one and see it for ourselves. However, the video at the end of the article shows us getting ready to go Decepticon crazy to get one.
Sean Tang, Robosen USA director, stated that they are excited to work with Hasbro. “We look forward to ushering into a new standard in robotics with the most advanced Transformers bots ever created for consumers,” he said. “The team is hard at work to provide an exceptional user experience for the fans of this prestigious franchise and to produce Transformers with superior functionality that will be a premium add-on to their collection.”
