Check Out a Trailer for That Self-Transforming Optimus Prime Figure’s Trailer

Less than a 12 months in the past, Transformers followers’ mouths stood agape when Hasbro and Robosen Robotics revealed a completely wonderful, absolutely programmable, 19-inch tall Optimus Prime figure that might remodel from his robotic kind into his truck mode (and vice versa) with the contact of a button. But what’s Optimus Prime with out that big-ass trailer he hauls behind him?

Hasbro and Robosen have teamed up once more to offer Optimus his trailer, which technically makes it an adjunct, however in title solely. This factor is immense—it measures three toes lengthy!—and comes with an up to date curler, pushed by a tiny determine of Autobot pal Spike, as properly. Both the trailer and curler are managed by way of app or your voice as follows:

“A simple voice command opens the Trailer’s rear swing doors exposing the automatic lift gate, which Roller can drive up and down, and Optimus Prime can seamlessly tow the Trailer with the integrated fifth wheel coupling that easily attaches while operating in truck mode for a quick and realistic connection. Various battle modes stage Optimus Prime and Trailer in full combat and defensive positions and the Trailer can open while Optimus Prime tows via truck mode, exposing the sentry weapons to fire on the Decepticons during the chase.”

Here’s the catch: this “accessory” will run you $750, which occurs to be the identical value because the Optimus Prime determine. Now, I absolutely concede that $1,500 is a wild value to pay for an up to date model of a deluxe motion determine set that originally cost $21.50 when it got here out in 1986, but it surely does are available a protecting storage case with a deal with and with an “Autobot Magnetic Car Badge, Metal Challenge Coin, and Sticker Pack.” Does any of that sweeten the deal?

More importantly, these self-transforming Optimus Prime figures bought out quick, and I wager there are many Transformers followers dying to offer the Autobot chief his improve. So in order for you one, you most likely shouldn’t take lengthy to test your account steadiness or bank card spending restrict. You can pre-order the Trailer and Roller set at HasbroPulse.com and Robosen.com. And should you missed Optimus, you possibly can (try) to snag one among this restricted batch on here or here.
