Mattel and Hasbro team up for Hot Wheels Transformers collection
Mattel has teamed up with Hasbro to launch a range of Hot Wheels Transformers.
Marking 40 years of Transformers, the range debuts with Hot Wheels Transformers Optimus Prime. The vehicle authentically recreates a 1:64 scale version of the Autobot leader in metal-on-metal material.
The range expands later this summer with a Bumblebee vehicle, a Hot Wheels Silver Series collection of Autobots and Decepticons, and characters like Megatron and Starscream in Hot Wheels Skate.
