Transformers are some of the most iconic toys around — an action figure and a car! All in one! A true bargain! But as modern Transformers toys have gotten more complex, they have also become an absolutely huge pain to actually transform from car to robot and back again, often requiring multiple shame-filled trips back to the trashcan where you threw it in a fit of hubris.

Hasbro is finally fixing that problem. Not by making the toys simpler, but by making them a lot more complicated and expensive in the form of its new $700 Optimus Prime Auto-Converting Programmable Advanced Robot, which thanks to the power of real robotics technology (in the form of 27 servo motors and a mobile app) can actually transform all by itself. The new Transformer is almost breathtaking in its complexity: Hasbro says that the 19-inch figure features roughly 5,000 components, 27 patented servo motors, and 60 connected microchips in order to pull off the automated transforming feature. In addition to a mobile app, the new Optimus Prime toy also features voice commands that allow owners to control the transforming action or drive around the vehicle form by shouting things like “roll out” or “convert.”
Image: Hasbro The downside of owning the first Transformer that can actually, y’know, transform on its own is the eye-watering price — for $700, the new Optimus Prime toy had better be able to fight off actual Decepticons to save the Earth. The new model is being built in partnership with Robosen Robotics, which, as noted by Polygon, has been making suspiciously Transformer-looking motorized robots for years. The new collaboration with Hasbro, though, gives Robosen the chance to bring its skills to an official Transformer product instead of a look-alike. The Optimus Prime Auto-Converting Programmable Advanced Robot is available to preorder now from the Hasbro Pulse website for $699.99. Orders are expected to ship on August 2nd.

After Hasbro debuted them in the 1980s as a rag-tag conglomeration of various repurposed Japanese robots, they became a massive multimedia juggernaut with an animated series, comics, a feature film and more. The mighty wave of nostalgia swept them back into the mainstream with the Michael Bay movies, but true heads know they never stopped making Transformers toys. This might be is the best year for them yet, with multiple high-end studios knocking out some ultra-sweet robots. Here are our picks for the best Transformers on the market right now. 1. G1 Ultra Magnus Figure G1 Ultra Magnus Figure Credit: hasbro What is a Transformer if it doesn’t transform? Well, it’s at least a bad-ass robot. Limited to a production run of 500, this incredible action figure of prospective Autobot leader Ultra Magnus — first seen in the Transformers movie — stands 16 inches tall and comes with a staggering 59 points of articulation. Like you remember from the 80s, there’s real diecast metal used in the detailing of the figure, and he also has a bunch of LED-illuminated features including a chamber for the Matrix and a blaster rifle. Sure, he can’t turn into a truck, but he can kick some ass. In robot mode, the figure, called the Transformers: War For Cybertron Unicron, will be over 2 feet tall (686 mm) and has more than 50 points of articulation. Unicron approximately weighs 19 lbs (8.6 kilograms). The gigantic Unicron will be Hasbro's largest converting Transformers figure ever created, taking the title from Fortress Maximus. Even in planet mode the massive Unicron figure is impressive. Mike Sorrentino/CNETUnicron also converts into a terrifying planet mode 30 inches (762 mm) in diameter. The planet mode features Unicron's fearsome planet-eating jaws and a series of posable planetary rings. More toys and collectibles
The Unicron figure will retail for the steep price of $575 (roughly £461, AU$817). This is the first ever Transformers HASLAB project.
