BREAKING NEWS:
JAY AND SILENT BOB ANNOUNCED AN AUTO-CONVERTING OPTIMUS PRIME, AND WE’RE STILL NOT SURE IF IT WAS A FEVER DREAM OR NOT!!
On Friday, Hasbro held their Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest, and boy oh boy, was it amazing! Tons of reveals, confiming that Hasbro is definitely 100% after our collective wallets. Fortnite, Power Rangers, Transformers, GI Joe, Marvel Legends, Star Wars,… Nothing was forgotten. Also, they had a panel of fans that included a lot of big names from the toy communuty, which was very awesome! Shartimus Prime, MCUCollector24, Toying Around, Adventures in Collecting Podcast, Kastor’s Korner, Dan Who, and many more were up there, on the screen during the event! (insert “Leonardo Dicaprio pointing at the TV” meme). There was one thing that especially caught our attention…
What the…
Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, Jay and Silent Bob themselves, introduced the world to a game-changing 19-inch Transformer figure: An auto-converting Optimus Prime! Yes. Read that sentence again. Jay and Silent Bob announced a huge auto-transforming Optimus Prime figure. Did this really happen? Was it all a dream?! As a big fan of Kevin Smith, and a huge toy lover, I would have never thought something like that would happen before my eyes. If you went back in time 15 years ago, and told my younger self “Jay and Silent Bob will introduce a kick-ass Optimus Prime that has robot parts and can transform on its own”, I would have never believed you. Yet, here we are!
(The best part is that I tried to take many screenshots from the video, and they always looked exactly like I did while watching it)

That Optimus Prime figure is, unsurprisingly, already sold out on Hasbro Pulse… (link here: https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-optimus-prime-auto-converting-programmable-robot-collectors-edition)
