Voice controlled self transforming Optimus Prime figure!

[Cow Mengde]

This is insane! I always wanted something like this as a kid! It's insane to see this is finally real. That said, the price is too high. It's $700. Besides transforming, he moves and speaks. It's also 19 inches tall. It's also a remote controlled car. It's pretty freaking insane.

 

[Slayven]

Call me when it is Headmaster Ginrai with Super God Bomber

 

[modoversus]

It looks amazing, and yeah at that price is just impossible to justify something like that.

 

[Transistor]

That is really badass, but not $700 badass

 

[Ferrio]

$700 is a lot for something that's just going to die and stop working.

 

[RandomExpletive]

Next week on the beastcast:

"Well Jeff I did it, I bought the $700 optimus prime"

 

[sfedai0]

For $700, it better be able to do household chores.

 

[Saint of Killers]

Gimme a Soundwave and I'd give myself the luxury of thinking about spending that sort of money on it.

 

[maximumzero]

I wonder if Vinny has his pre-ordered.

 

[IronRinn]

I wish there wasn't the plate right behind his head but regardless, holy fuck, that is rad.

Edit: Hm, maybe that plate is removable?

 

[OhSatan]

Cool but the build is too open the joints aren't tight

The transformation is awesome!

 

[itsgreen]

Oh frick, no international orders possible.

 

[scottbeowulf]

Good think it's not a self transforming Voltron or I'd be $700 lighter

 

[Wrexis]

My thought process watching the video.

1. I want it.
2. I can't afford it.
3. I have no-where to put it.
4. That lady is enthusiastic.

 

[Crashman]

That's neat, but as a kid my favorite thing was to transform them by hand. Kind of like a puzzle.

 

[Mindwipe]

I kind of want it. I think my kid would adore it.

But I'm not American, so Hasbro won't sell it to me. Ah well.

 

[rjinaz]

Yeah that is really cool. I want one. But, I'd pay maybe $200 for something like that, 300 tops. I guess I'm waiting a bit.

 

[Nemesis121]

I would have been in for $300, but $700, nope..

 

[HardRojo]

That's really cool! I'd probably buy it if I were a Transformers fan and had enough space for it lol. And for a bit less, yeah.

 

[F2BBm3ga]

I was literally going to be committed to buying this until that price tag.

HELLS NO

You're in luck, they did release this recently for $50.

(I didn't get this myself, too traumatic for me to own lol)

id have been in at like 150....maybe 200...

but 700?!?! no fucking way

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

Well this is perhaps the most ridiculous thing I've ever badly wanted to purchase. I won't, but I sure as hell want to.

 

[Teiresias]

It kind of annoys me that after transforming he's facing the opposite direction he was pointing when he was the truck. You can't have him sitting on a shelf and have him transform and be able to see his face.

 

[Deleted member 2802]

Price is idiotic
Transforming the toys was the whole point

 

[Starphanluke]

Of course I ordered this. I'm Hasbro's little bitch. $700 is steep, but there's a lot of technology in there and he is a BIG boy.

I wish there wasn't the plate right behind his head but regardless, holy fuck, that is rad.

Edit: Hm, maybe that plate is removable?

In some photos you can see that the plate seemingly folds down behind his head, it just doesn't do so automatically.

 

[FRANKEINSTEIN]

That's awesome. Too rich for my blood, but still really awesome.

 

[Human Resources]

i was actually considering dropping $700 on a robot recently, tell me, does this one also vacuum and mop my floors?

 

[NeoKnight]

I want this sooo bad. It looks amazing. My wife would obviously kill me at $700, but it's just so awesome. When I retire in 30 years, this will be my retirement present for myself (or a real life one if we are there tech wise).

There are hundreds of other Transformers released each year. This isn't replacing those. It's a novelty.

 

[Axon]

That is really cool. Really expensive, but it sure is something.

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

I think I'd be okay with the $700 price tag if he could open up his chest, pull the Matrix of Leadership out, and hold it up with The Touch playing out of his speakers. Maybe a "Till All Are One" in there, too.

But as is, nope.

 

[GDGF]

You can just put the Matrix in a different robot when that happens.

 

[Deleted member 6263]

I'm more impressed they have a breathing animation for him.

lol
Roll out
...let's roll

Wait until you see the ones that cost hundreds of dollars and don't transform at all.

Wait...is that dead Optimus from the movie?!

 

[Team_Feisar]

That intricate 700 dollar toy with a lot of mechanical moving parts is uncomfortably close to that ledge bruh

 

[TraderPoe]

What was that movie where the toys took over the neighborhood? It's this...this right here

 

[Cow Mengde]

Click to shrink...

Yup.

But there's also a black version call Nemesis Prime. An evil Optimus.

 

[Moff]

I guessed at least 2000 bucks. Very impressive. The video does not show him turning into the truck though. I wonder if he cant.

 

[Teejay]

 

[julia crawford]

Cursed

 

[Ze_Shoopuf]

OMG I love they made him do a breathing animation at rest! So cool

 

[nihilence]

That was dope.

He can. Hasbro's presentation here (starts at 30 mins in after regular toys - they do still make those):



I mean, it's rough but that's not the point. I had no idea a commercial toy robot at that size could even have motors strong enough to lift itself, even if it's cleverly supporting itself through the transformation. I mean, does any company have anything comparable? Like, I saw the RoboHon live five years ago and it was cool, but it looks like ancient tech compared to this.
