It was a double-header day for the Hasbro Pulse team! Today, the collectibles manufacturer hosted not one, but two fan livestreams to share the latest updates from Transformers and Power Rangers.
Transformers was up first at 11 a.m. ET. The highlight of this livestream was the reveal of a new Flagship Trailer and Roller Set from Robosen Robotics (pictured above). This auto-converting, programmable robot is designed to go with the Flagship Transformers Optimus Prime robot that the company debuted last year. The trailer is modeled after the original G1 design and is a whopping 3 feet long. Fans can preorder this new collectible from Hasbro Pulse starting at 2 p.m. ET today for $749.99. There are also a limited number of Transformers Optimus Prime Auto-Converting Programmable Robots back in stock now, both from Robosen and the Hasbro Pulse site.

There is also a new figure in Hasbro’s ongoing Shattered Glass collection, which offers classic Transformers characters with a twist (the bad guys are good, and vice versa). The new Shattered Glass Leader Ultra Magnus figure ($62.99) is 7 inches tall and converts between robot, truck, and armored truck modes. (The trailer can also break apart to armor the figure.)
