This is the most advanced official Transformers toy ever made. Standing an impressive 19-inches tall and built from metal alloy parts, Robosen Robotics’ fully-programmable Optimus Prime walks in robot form, drives in vehicle mode, and converts automatically on command. He’s up for pre-order this morning on Hasbro Pulse for $699.
China’s Robosen Robotics has been making self-transforming robots for a while now, so it was only a matter of time before they got together with Hasbro for this sort of project. Revealed as part of Hasbro’s collector-centric Pulse Fanfest event, Robosen’s Optimus Prime is a true programmable robot, packed with a comprehensive set of functions. It can walk and drive. It responds to commands issued by voice or via a mobile app. Advanced users will be able to program advanced actions via code. The Optimus Prime robot comes equipped with more than 80 sound effects, including clips from voice actor Peter Cullen, and the classic transforming sound from the cartoon.
It may look like a toy. Technically it is a toy. But this Optimus Prime toy is assembled from over 5,000 components, including 60 microchips and 27 servo motors. That’s many more microchips and servo motors than I have in my pocket right now.

Honestly, they should have been did this. But for $700? 
Yeah 700 is to much, if it was 199 or even 250. I’d say that would be a better price point.
I'm gonna get one of those for my office desk and figure out how to have it trigger whenever someone walks in 
Already pre-ordered... it will be my birthday gift to myself
For 700?
Damn right
Agreed!! I would definitely purchase this at those price point u mentioned!! 700$ they can keep it

Mr. Pool
Price Point Is a Bit Much....$150 Would be a Perfect Indulgence Price
Have you guys seen how much regular metal transformers cost that don't transform? Them shits run like 200+ transformer heads don't play lol
shit is crazy. i want to cop
Cool but 700 is too much. It should be 70 bucks instead.
I'd pay $350 tops. $700 is too much.
It's nice.. But
For 700 dollars
Optimus will need to get a job..
Or
At least pimp some GoBots on the side
