In collaboration with Robosen Robotics, Hasbro is debuting an auto-converting trailer and roller set for Transformers' Optimus Prime.
Hasbro and Robosen Robotics have just made a joint announcement that's sure to thrill Transformers fans and collectors. In the wake of last year’s Optimus Prime Auto-Converting Programmable Advanced Robot launch, a new companion piece has been launched: the Optimus Prime Auto-Converting Trailer with Roller – Collector's Edition. Modeled after the original G1 design, the fantastic new item measures 3 feet in length. Together, the Trailer and autonomous Roller expand the user's arsenal and allow them to better defend against the Decepticons with the goal of creating the ultimate Optimus Prime experience.
According to Hasbro and Robosen Robotics' press release, the Flagship Trailer and Roller Set comes with a protective storage case with a handle for easy transportation. The Limited Edition Collectible Pack includes an Individual Serialized Number, Autobot Magnetic Car Badge, Metal Challenge Coin, and Sticker Pack. It is currently available for pre-order at HasbroPulse.com, and is going for $749.99. Not only that, but a limited number of Flagship Optimus Prime robots are once again available for purchase on Robosen’s website and Hasbro Pulse. These incredible robots also cost $749.99 and are set to ship immediately.

Tranformers enthusiasts and owners of the Optimus Prime Auto-Converting Robot will be able to partake in an immersive and interactive experience thanks to the Flagship Trailer and Roller Set. The Trailer auto-converts into battle mode by folding open and pivoting upwards to shield and expose its massive firepower with an integrated articulating sentry blaster, and the Roller awaits your command inside to engage the enemy via app control. Human sidekick Spike is also included, and he is ready to jump into action or just enjoy the ride. Optimus Prime’s blaster can also be mounted for firepower and support.
Using Robosen's proprietary servo motor technology, the Trailer and Roller Set auto-converts in seconds and is meticulously designed and crafted with state-of-the-art, high-grade metal alloy parts. It combines classic industrial design with the most cutting-edge robotic technology, while providing an ultimate entertaining experience filled with programming, and pure fun.
