Robosen has partnered with Hasbro to release some really cool Transformers robots. I reviewed their AutoConverting Optimus Prime in the past, and it's amazing to see it transform by itself in front of your eyes. Since then, I've also purchased the trailer for Optimus Prime offcamera, and Robosen has released a nontransforming Bumblebee. But today, Robosen has officially revealed their next AutoConverting robot and it's Grimlock from the original G1 Transformers. Robosen reached out to me and sent me the Grimlock early, and so I wanted to share my unboxing and first impressions with you all.

Robosen is calling this the "world's first autoconverting dualform bipedal to bipedal walking robot". Just like prior releases, this can be voice controlled or controlled via an app. The app has built in actions, as well as manual and blockbased programming to create your own movements. It has just been announced that preorders are available now, and there is a special preorder price of $1,499 compared to the regular MSRP of $1,699. This item is set to release MidFall 2023.

The price is quite high, and I did not have price information at the time of recording, as mentioned in the video. But what I will say is that it is very impressive. The transformation looks super cool and there are so many great voice clips and actions that really make this product a true showcase. Hopefully you enjoy this unboxing and first impressions. Let me know in the comments below what your thoughts are, and if you'd like me to showcase anything else in a future video. Huge thanks again to Robosen for sending me this to share!
