Lego and Hasbro have united for the first time to bring the iconic Transformers Autobot, Optimus Prime, to life in Lego form – complete with alt mode. The new Lego Transformers Optimus Prime set has more than 1,500 detailed Lego pieces and once assembled, the figure features 19 points of articulation that allow fans to convert from robot to truck mode and back again.
This is one of the first times a Lego set has been able to convert between two models, without the need to rebuild. The new Lego set will transport fans back to 1984 to when Transformers first exploded into popular culture with the original toy line and animated TV series.
Modeled after the G1 Optimus Prime character, the new Lego set includes features such as the ion blaster, Energon axe, an Energon Cube and the Autobot Matrix of Leadership which can be stored in the chest chamber.
