In development since 2016, the Flagship Collector’s Edition Grimlock robot features advancements that set it apart, including an advanced SOC chip technology, a comprehensive robot operating system with 34 high-precision intelligent servos, and an array of 85 microchips.

“We invite fans and collectors to embrace the future of robotics and experience the unmatched craftsmanship and innovation with our latest edition to our collection,” said Sean Tang, director of Robosen USA. “We’re excited for them to own the most powerful Dinobot in the world.”

Grimlock’s voice interaction features 150+ original Generation 1 Transformers audio lines, voiced exclusively for Robosen by Gregg Berger (the original voice of G1 Grimlock). The authentic sound bites are synchronized with robotic actions, allowing users to interact with the robot using 42 voice commands.

Users can also remotely control the robot’s auto-conversion and movements from their mobile devices via the accompanying app (available on iOS or Google Play) with Bluetooth BLE 5.0 connectivity. The app also offers a “MiniTheater” feature in SoloPlay or MultiPlay modes, allowing them to collaborate with Flagship or Elite Optimus Prime to defeat the Decepticons in epic battle reenactments from The Transformers movies.
