This is one of the first times a LEGO set has been able to transform between two models, without the need to rebuild. For some fans, the set will transport them back to 1984 to when Transformers first exploded into popular culture with the original toy line and animated TV series, as it’s modeled after the G1 Optimus Prime. Let’s just say that this is much cheaper than Robosen’s Grimlock T-Rex Transformers robot.
We’re excited to bring two of the world’s greatest play and entertainment companies together to celebrate this larger-than-life, iconic character – Optimus Prime. We know fans everywhere will be thrilled by this collaboration as it enables fans and families of all ages to create memories as they work together to build the LEGO Transformers Optimus Prime,” said Casey Collins, Head of Licensed Consumer Products and Business Development at Hasbro.
