Robosen announces its brand new product in the form of the Grimlock, which is an impressive auto-transforming robotic toy. It represents the leader of the Dinobots, which is able to change from a robot into a mechanical T-Rex. It is marked at an astounding $1,699 with a $1,499 set for pre-orders.
The collectible stands at 15 inches in height when it is in its robot mode and when it transforms into a dinosaur mode, it stands at 15.4 inches. Robosen describes the auto-transforming capabilities as “the epitome of auto-conversion" and notes that the product is “the world’s first dual-form, bipedal walking robot.” Additionally, the robot also has six-axis IMU sensors that are incorporated to help with balance monitoring.
