LEGO is set to launch a new kit on June 1, 2022, based on the Transformers movie series' character Optimus Prime. The kit consists of 1508 pieces, and will set you back by $169.99 (Rs. 13,200 approximately). But the party piece of this kit, is that the LEGO model can be transformed between its two modes without you having to rebuild the set. A true transformer indeed!

What's interesting though is that the LEGO set features 19 points of articulation, which allows the build to transform between its robot and truck modes.

There's a plaque that you can display next to your completed build, the Autobot Matrix of Leadership that Prime can store in the chest chamber, the ion Blaster, the Energon axe, and an Energon Cube. This 1508 piece build sure is one of a kind, and we hope to see more Transformers get the LEGO treatment.
