The $750 self-transforming Optimus Prime just got a $750 transforming trailer too

If you are a Transformers fan with deep pockets and willingness to forgive a few big flaws, your dream toy has arrived. One year after introducing a 19-inch tall Optimus Prime robot that can transform itself, pose and even drive thanks to 27 servo motors, its makers at Hasbro and Robosen have made their vision complete with a brand-new trailer that can also open up and reveal.

It costs $750 for the robot and $750 for the trailer. I enjoyed playing with the toy, but I can tell you that it won't do everything you want it to. The review unit broke due to a fragile plastic gear in the torso, though I have been assured that it was fixed in later units.

If you've 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.

I love that it exists, even if I can't justify the price myself. I will give you a couple quick video clips from my hands-on with the original.

You can also order them from the same place as the Optimus Prime. I've seen the robot in stock a number of times in the past year, but I'm not sure if it's limited-edition or not.
