Hasbro and Robosen unveil a new auto-converting Transformer, Grimlock of the Dinobots, at San Diego Comic-Con 2023.
Robosen Robotics, the robot maker that released an auto-transforming version of Autobots leader Optimus Prime in 2021, is giving the same treatment to Grimlock, the leader of the Dinobots who prefers to refer to himself in the third-person at all times. Like Optimus, Grimlock is an “auto-converting robot” that responds to voice and app commands, and can walk in both robot and dinosaur form.
Hasbro and Robosen are showing off their new Grimlock ’bot at San Diego Comic-Con this week, and taking pre-orders for it starting today. The magic of Grimlock’s new toy comes at a substantial cost, though: It will retail for $1,699 when it’s released sometime this fall — though pre-orders come in slightly cheaper at $1,499.
