The childhood phenomenon is making an appearance again. Xiaomi has officially launched Hasbro‘s iconic Transformer, Optimus Prime, as a new toy. The figurine follows the designs from the original Transformers children’s show.

The Optimus Prime toy is built from 1277 blocks and, once finished, has a size of 440 x 279 x 126mm. Its design features the highly nostalgic blue and red color schemes, with the body having multiple spherical joint cavities. These joints allow for customizations that are only limited to imagination and the joints of the toy are also flexible for free movement for the arm, legs, and even the hip region.

Since Optimus Prime is a Transformer (an extraterrestrial being that can morph into various machines and automobiles), the toy also features a truck. In the original animated show, the character was known to turn into a semi truck, and we can see the toy having the windshield on the chest and tires on his legs that suggest the same. This means, that the toy can both be played with its humanoid structure and in its truck form when needed.

The Hasbro Transformer is currently on sale and is available on the Xiaomi Youpin platform, Xiaomi Mall, and more, for the price of 399 Yuan (roughly 56 US Dollars). Optimus Prime was a big inspiration for a great many kids during the early 2000s. So do check it out if you want a hint of nostalgia in these difficult times.

China is the home of some interesting gadgets and toys. Now, Xiaomi with Hasbro China has together released an interesting new toy, tailor-made for Chinese fans. The new product is a transformer which can instantly transform into a Mi Pad tablet.

Yes, you heard it right. Xiaomi along with the world’s top toymaker, Hasbro decided to release this “Transformers Special Edition” toy to celebrate the company’s sixth anniversary on April 6. The toy will enter the crowdfunding stage and once it hits the goal, it will start shipping to backers from May 13.

Of course, the transformed Mi Pad won’t be a working one (we probably have to wait for a few more years to make something like this work), but still it would be a good buy if you are a big fan of the company. It costs 129 Yuan which comes to around $20 which isn’t too bad for a fake Mi Pad.
