Nailed it. Heh, I always thought of transformers as a kind of cross between action figure, puzzle, and stress toy. Some transformations are so satisfying to work through, and I have been known to just flip them back and forth when my brain is churning on a problem. The best designs are a pleasure for the hands: the feel of the ratchets, when things lock or tab into place or an inspired movement reveals itself in the transformation process. As far back as Jumpstarters and Battle chargers doing nosedives off of my coffee table, I've always been more interested when the plastic persona waiting patiently on my bookshelf was a tiny masterpiece of mechanical parts manipulation that somehow made two or more very different modes look and feel fantastic not only when finally locked together, but when they are in the process of bending and unfurling, flipping and undulating cybertronian chunks in my hands. Yes, Robosen's Prime could theoretically make a good entrance into programming - but ironically it keeps you away from the actual physical engineering. If you are interested, a transformer can teach you about parts tolerance, weight and balance, how ratchets and tabs work, how to think about things 3-dimensionally. Often Transformers fans suggest ideas for engineering that I later see Hasbro use, not because these fans are engineers, but because the experience of playing with these things has given them a feel for what works and what doesn't - and usually the end result is more solid and stable. Heh, I had a few friends that BECAME engineers and would talk about transformers as an entrance into their sense of mechanical design. Not that programming isn't a very useful thing to teach; a lot of jobs are disappearing and I have a feeling eventually programming and repair will be pretty much all that's left as AI and machines take over most basic jobs (if Musk can get HIS optimus robot to not be constantly going "hip malfunction", we'll have an Amazon or dock worker that can be bought for $20,000. It would eventually be cheaper for companies to pay that one time and cover repair than it would be to pay multiple years salaries for workers that would probably want more than that $20,000 a year - and as technology gets better and cheaper, the more likely that is to happen). Nonetheless, you don't need a Transformer for that - there are a lot of cheaper and much more effective tools for teaching kids programming on the market. This item feels like an attempt to move a blue collar kids toy into the homes of people with golden toilets that whoosh our monthly incomes down the watery spiral with effulgent disinterest while losing the very things that made that blue collar kids toy satisfying in the process.

Even if that IS the point, as a concept it would lose it’s lustre in minutes, whether you can appreciate the craftsmanship or not. Robosen prime, to me, seems like the same deal. As even if you’re “into robotics” and “appreciate the engineering”, it doesn’t change the fact that it really can’t do anything besides the transforming feature and be slightly manipulated by the app. This is all especially crazy when you consider it costs upwards of 1000 USD in most places. I’d definitely expect more from something that costs so much. In my opinion, it’s not for people who enjoy robotics or engineering, let alone transformers, I think it’s for the wealthy crowd who loosely follow tech trends (who seem to be the people buying it atm)

I respect his review. Its not just the honesty, its the reality. He illustrated *why* this isn’t fit for everyone, even if they **really** want to own it: Lack of open living space, your various home surfaces interfering with its movements (this is a BIG one), inability to display in robot mode, it does the transforming work for you, fun for a short while *UNLESS* you’re programming new moves for it, too fancy to really be a toy, you’re deathly afraid of wearing/damaging it, the app may eventually become unsupported, the high price, releasing this in a recession. Price aside, I think the biggest issue from his review is that many surfaces, even ones you think would be fine, even after adding on the foot grips, will still interrupt the proper operation of this toy. I would be furious if Hasbro black listed him because of this honest review, and I say that as someone who owns 2 of these Primes with 2 trailers on preorder. It’s a marvelous piece, but people need to realize that it may not be for them and their home conditions may not be compatible for it to work right. So I’m quite glad Thew pointed such issues out for anyone curious about this item.

On the surface, one would assume that an electronic Optimus that transforms by itself would be a dream come true, but now we've learned that several drawbacks outweigh the pros. Plus, Optimus' asking price would only make him suitable for collectors who have computer programming skills and more disposable income than most of us. 15:11: Careful, Thew, because that almost sounded like Piccolo's meme-worthy "inert" line from Dragon Ball Z.

Don't look at this as a Transformers toy that transforms itself. Think of it as a consumer robotics product that has the mass appeal of Optimus Prime's face attached. I highly doubt Robosen initially set out with the intent to make Transformers toys. But if you're a small company, you sell a little piece of your soul to Hasbro if it means you get to live to fight another day. Because I guarantee that this Optimus Prime will have sold double, triple, quadruple all of their other products, and that money will be put to good use developing new innovations in future products. So maybe the next iteration of Robosen products won't say "left hand stuck" every five minutes, because they've been able to invest the money into improving the technology. It's business.

Make one with wireless charging in his feet and a wireless charging pad to display on so he can live on my shelf or desk, making cool poses

“Optimus Prime, use thunder shock!!” So many awesome Thew videos and this is the one that’ll stay with me for a very long time. 😂

This is the kind of thing that, even if I could afford it, it would be accidentally broken in a week, if not by me then by my cat.

I got mine as a gift from Dan Larson last year, I made a video for it. Basically came to the exact same conclusion you did, and sold it to Cliff Bleszinski of Gears of War/Jazz JackRabbit fame. Yeah that’s a lot of name dropping, but sometimes I just can’t believe my own life.

You should ask Cliff what he thinks of it now. Maybe he’ll sell it and it’ll become the traveling Optimus.

That was second for me, what topped it for me was his turning it off, crumpling in a pile and Thew's overly dramatic "Optimus, NO!"

The way I see it, I think that many people have misjudged it. This is a robot, first and foremost. Our transformers toys are not robots, they simply look the part, but the functionality isn't there. This is an awesome piece of engineering, and as long as you understand what you can do with it, it's 100% worth getting it. Also, since not that many people will be getting this (due to $1000 price on a bad economy), chances are there won't be as many in the market, making it a collectible piece.

Honestly could not agree more. Absolutely not my taste, and definitely not intended for me. People were actually befuddled that I didn't/don't want one, to which all I could say is, "Not all that glitters is gold." Not everything that carries the 'Transformers' branding, is actually intended for average Transformers fans.

I love Thews honesty. The figure strikes it's own poses but where's the fun to be had from that if it can't hold a static pose you position yourself. It was funny how the thing just rag dolled when you shut it down too.

The IDEA of this item is amazing. A self-transforming, moving, talking Optimus Prime figure that can respond to commands, speak, transform itself, and move around in both Robot and Vehicle Mode. But the execution just isn't there. For me the biggest problem (after that frankly hilarious price) is that there's no "static" option to lock up the joints and keep him in a permanent pose to display him in when the power's off. Additionally, as many other commenters have pointed out, absolutely NOBODY who I've seen review this thing has mentioned the problems with the joints locking up and the out of place voice that warns you. Not even Jobby, who's famous for his irreverent, sometimes overly critical style.

As a tech nerd and someone who likes programming I think this thing is cool, but as you mention the space concern and how picky it is with surfaces get real annoying. And even after having it for a while it is too expensive for like the average transformers fan.

They need to make Soundwave that has a Bluetooth speaker in it, maybe a display base that works as a charger.

Y'know what I thougt would've been cool? Integrating the old "Star Wars" COMM*Tech features into a Soundwave. Pressing different buttons brings out different prases or sound effects. His cassette deck scans a chip inside each cassette when you load it into his chest, and plays unique clips, including recognising the cassette and commanding it -- by name -- to eject.
