Self-transforming Optimus Prime robot
Getting Robosen’s self-transforming Optimus Prime figure, which comes in a limited edition 19-inch size and a more attainable 16 inch size, is a bit like bringing a theme park attraction into your home. This figure, which costs between $600 and $1000 depending on the size you pick, is certainly an investment. But what you get in return is a fully programmable robot with more points of articulation than even the TV counterpart that inspired it, with the ability to shadowbox, play air guitar, drive around like an RC car, shout catch phrases, respond to voice commands, and even walk around. Users can even submit their programmed movement routines for Prime to the official app, and if they’re good enough, Robosen will make them available to the public.
It’s been available since 2021, but it’s worth highlighting again, as the full-size version is a limited edition. Once it’s gone, it’s gone – Michelle Ehrhardt
