If you\u2019re a ultimate Transformers<\/em> fan with deep pockets and the willingness to forgive a few big flaws, your dream toy has arrived. One year after<\/a> introducing a 19-inch tall Optimus Prime robot that can transform itself<\/em>, pose and even drive<\/a> thanks to 27 servo motors, its makers at Hasbro and Robosen have made their vision complete \u2014 with a brand-new trailer that can also<\/em> open up, transform, and reveal its own miniature motorized vehicle that rolls right down the ramp.<\/p>\n

Let me be clear: it costs $750 for the robot<\/a> and<\/em> $750 for the trailer<\/a>. This is a $1,500 toy all told, and while I greatly enjoyed playing with a walking, talking, posing Optimus Prime with the voice of Peter Cullen himself, you can see from my hands-on<\/a> that it won\u2019t necessarily do everything you might want. (In fact, my review unit broke due to a fragile plastic gear in the torso, though I\u2019ve been assured that was fixed in later units.) <\/p>\n

But if you\u2019ve got the cash, this three-foot trailer looks like an epic addition to the build, able to automatically deploy its gun turret, deploy its hydraulic lifts to detach, open up its rear doors, and get towed around by Optimus with \u201can integrated fifth wheel coupling that easily attaches while operating in truck mode for a quick and realistic connection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even if I can\u2019t justify the price myself, I love that it exists. I\u2019ll leave you with a couple quick video clips from my hands-on with the original.<\/p>\n
