Transforming a Transformer toy from its robot configuration to vehicle configuration usually requires some effort–and is part of its appeal–but this charming remote control version of Optimus Prime will handle that for you. Even more appealing, it’s discounted at Walmart currently for $15 (previously $51) as the brand competes with Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, making this a perfect present for younger Transformers enthusiasts.

Update: Walmart reduced the sale price from $20 to $15 on October 9.

Drawing inspiration from the beloved Autobot commander’s classic Generation One aesthetic, this remote-controlled automobile transitions from a truck to robot and vice versa with the touch of a button, and batteries are provided. In robot mode, the toy embodies the blocky charm of Optimus from his early roles and merchandise, while the vehicle form resembles his transformation perfectly. After switching modes, Optimus is capable of walking forward due to the motors in his legs, or moving ahead in his truck guise. The toy features lights and auditory effects, including multiple sound clips obtained from the Transformers animated film.

This represents merely one of numerous bargains available at Walmart currently. Also present in the digital toy section are $13 plush versions of sleepy Pikachu and Teddiursa Pokemon, and if you’re in search of Lego, you can acquire sets such as the Sanderson’s Sisters Cottage for $180 (was $230).
