Transformers' $1,200 Megatron Turns Into A Tank On Command And Has 270 Unique Voice Lines
Transformers introduced us to a level of tech we could only dream of in the 1980s because, well, Autobots and Decepticons are fictional beings from a faraway planet. While there sadly may never be a time when a sentient Optimus Prime walks among us, Hasbro and Robosen Robotics showed off the next best thing this week. A robotic Megatron that can transform from its bipedal form into a tank and back again whenever you command it to do so, joining a growing range of robotic Transformers and becoming the first Decepticon to join the line-up.
There are two ways to make your impressive new Megatron transform - either by using the robot's companion app, or simply by telling it to. That's right, an evil robotic Transformer that does exactly what you tell it to. Not the beginning of some villainous origin story, or at least I hope not, but a reality that can be realized right now. That's if you have $899 to spare, and that's the sale price. Hasbro's robotic Megatron will be available to buy for its pre-sale price for 30 days after which time it will go up to its regular $1,199 price tag.
That might sound like a lot for a Transformers collectible, but if it isn't already clear, this is a heck of a lot more than any Megatron merch you already own. It has taken the team at Robosen three years to make this Megatron a reality. Equipped with 112 ultra-bright LEDs and 36 motors, this Decpticon bot really is the closest to the real thing that is ever going to exist, and it's something we can actually own if we've got the money to buy one.
Joining Robosen and Hasbro's impressive collection of Transformers robot is its first Decepticon - Megatron. This Megatron bot can transform between its bipedal and tank form through its companion app or when told to via voice command, comes equipped with weapons in either form, and has 270 unique voice lines recorded especially for it by the original voice of Megatron.
