Recent milestones cluster around software support and a new accessory: the Elite Optimus Prime Trailer Kit. In 2024 the Elite was highlighted by European retail media, and the Android control app received an update on October 28, 2025. On iOS, the dedicated Elite app shows version 1.1 (March 31, 2026) and 1.1.1 (April 8, 2026). Robosen opened preorders for the Elite Trailer Kit on May 7, 2026 with a $999 early-bird price through June 7, moving to a $1,199 regular price on June 8 and listing an estimated ship window of late June 2026; the run is limited to 2,500 units and marketed as North America–exclusive.
