If Robosen’s Optimus Prime convinced you, you could consider acquiring the trailer as well equipped as the robot in servomotors, joints and other sound effects, but almost as expensive (729 €). Finally, the absolute and wealthy fans will not hesitate in front of the Optimus Prime bundle and its trailer launched at 1599 €. Because when you love…
