News just in from Promobricks a German fans site reporting what is said to be a LEGO branded product for the Transformers Optimus Prime. The 1508 pieces builder kit is said to include a jetpack, weapon, and transform into a truck as well. It is reported to be selling for 169.99 euros / $192 USD to be released initially in May 2022 with a wide retail release on August 1, 2022. Read on to see the translated news with product info below.
Set number: 10302
Designation: Optimus Prime
Number of parts: 1508
Release date: May 2022
Availability: LEGO
Recommended age: 18+
RRP: 169.99 euros
However, we assume that the set will actually be inspired by the upcoming film Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, which is not scheduled to hit theaters until June 2023.
The Instagram shared promo shows (see below) the Studio Series SS-44 Optimus Prime stock image from what I can tell, but the report states it is likely a Transformers Rise of the Beasts version. This is definitely preferable and will be exciting to what LEGO would do with this. Read the full German-language article now at promobricks.de.
NOTE - As always, it is not official until Hasbro or Takara announces it. So take this as a rumor until we have the official word.
