What do you get when Optimus Prime, bearer of the Matrix of Leadership and the next commander of the Autobots, is combined with Ultra Magnus? HasLabs’ 2001 Omega Prime of course. Standing 13.75-inches tall, the combination begins with a handshake, just like the original toys, complete with vac-metal eyes and antennas.

Robosen unveils a $1,499 USD Grimlock Transformers robot. Featuring over 150 original Generation 1 Transformers audio lines, recorded exclusively for Robosen by Gregg Berger, original voice of G1 Grimlock.
In the latest Transformers: Rise of the Beasts movie trailer, we get the best look yet at Mirage who debuts as a silver-blue Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.8. It’s driven by actor Anthony Ramos (Noah Diaz), an ex-military electronics professional living in Brooklyn, while Mirage is played by Pete Davidson, an Autobot spy capable of projecting holograms.
Robosen T9 is nice, but this Takara Tomy Nemesis Prime R5 may be even more fun to play with. At first glance, it look like a Canon EOS R5 DSLR, but this limited edition collectible turns into Nemesis Prime from the Transformers, who just so happens to be the evil clone of Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots.
Takara Tomy debuts two new Transformers robots that are disguised as Canon DSLR cameras, the EOS R5 to be more specific. This mirrorless camera may fool some, as it not only has a detachable lens, but also a removable lens cap as well. You’ll be able to choose from the Optimus Prime R5 and Decepticon Refraktor R5 when they are released in February, 2023.
It’s official, the new LEGO Optimus Prime (10302) has been revealed, and this Transformers robot isn’t just a static set, but rather one that actually transforms. Consisting of 1,508-pieces, it boasts 19 points of articulation that let you easily convert it from robot to truck alt mode and then back again. Best of all, you won’t need to rebuild anything to transform it back and forth.
Let’s face it, there have been numerous toys over the years, but none have come close to recreating a Transformers robot seen in the films, that is unless…you’re talking about Letvision’s Letrons prototype. This Turkey-based startup has created a robot that looks like a standard BMW 3 Series coupe at first, but at the push of a button, it transforms into a giant robot. While humans can’t get behind the wheel, it’s controlled with a special remote.
Robosen Robotics teamed up with Hasbro Pulse to bring a voice-controlled Optimus Prime robot to life. The team at Robosen spent 11-years of R&D to create a robot capable of transforming on its own, bipedal walking abilities, a race function in vehicle form, programmable/code development, and robot control/commands by either voice or via mobile app. Does it look familiar? That’s because it’s based on the Robosen T9 an advanced programmable robot that has many similar functions.
The Menzi Muck may look like a real-life Transformers robot to some, but it’s actually a Swiss-built excavator that moves on legs rather than tracks, thus giving it the nickname of a spider excavator. It’s designed specially for the steep Alpine terrain in Europe. Despite how it looks, operating one of these machines is quite simple, as the driver only has two joysticks and foot pedals to control the excavator with.
