Hasbro Pulse – in collaboration with Robosen, Takara Tomy and Volkswagen – has debuted the Transformers Bumblebee Auto-Converting Robot.
The voice-activated robot converts between robot and the Volkswagen Beetle modes, and boasts 31 high-precision motors, 67 microchips, and a six-axis motion sensor.
It also comes with 48 built-in voice commands and over 230 voice recordings by G1 Bumblebee voice actor Dan Gilvezan.
The launch follows Robosen’s previous Hasbro partnerships for Optimus Prime and Megatron auto-converting robots.
