My gut tells me they won't leave the US high and dry. Maybe there's a box set coming.

Yes, I think so too. Which would be better for everyone since these are still blind box toys, making it tougher to only het the constructicons in the first place

Not to put salt in the wound, but we now have new images of a completed Blokees Devastator, and while the individual alt modes will be available in the US (in blind boxes), the combining kit won't be. It can still be imported though the Show Z store though, read this article for more details on that. The images are from Weibo User Mangangwan.

We also have some unfortunate news to share, Blokees will be raising the prices on their site on May 19th. As you can read in their announcement below, they say the cost increases are a bullet they just cannot judge. Blokees was very strong in the price front, offering a fun model kit at a very reasonable price, so it's understandable that this hurts them since it gnaws at their price leader advantage, in terms of Porter’s classic competitive strategies. The good news though is that the situation they are referring to is tariffs and they could be temporary, meaning the price increase could be temporary as well.

I just built my two first Blockees, ROTB Optimus Primal Bot and Beast.

The building experience was the BEST so far, with no overly fragile components and zero needs for glue. The light-up feature is excellent and the models are very solid once built. They are small, but they look very good. I overpaid a bit to get them, but they were well worth it. I may buy some more.

Devy looks pretty good. How tall is he supposed to be?

News Credits: 34 · Mon May 19, 2025 4:47 am

Looking at the last image where's he's stood next to the robot-mode Constructicons from the regular line, I'd say he's somewhere between 6" to 7" to the head. Mixmaster, shown coming up to the top of Devy's hips, is just about 4" to the top of his 'hood'.

I saw this in a news video by TJ Omega, apparently Blokees isn't allowed to sell the Devastator parts due to restrictions by the copyright holder. The speculation is the vehicles transform just enough that Hasbro said no. So no box set or anything like that. Also, probably means no combiners period.

My Transformers one set has shipped, and my Defenders wave 3 and Devastator parts should be shipping any time now. I am really excited to form Devastator and get Hot Rod.

I also found that old wedding cupcake stands are great for blokees

I'm late posting because the site hasn't let me on in over a week. I posted to Reddit at the time that I'm sure Blokees thought since they don't transform in the traditional sense that they'd be fine, but didn't get it approved through Hasbro and not being able to sell in the USA is their punishment. Hasbro has been increasingly lenient on these things, we've got our figures from Robosen, Flame Toys' Victory Saber, and the upcoming transforming OP figure kit from Unix Square, there's no real good reason for Hasbro not to allow Devastator aside from them not being told ahead of time.

"Devastator will not be available outside of the US"

As I suspected, there is an alternative build that looks just as good and only uses existing figures

Late post, this just came up in my recommended today though.

I got my Galaxy Wave 7 and Defender wave 3.

Of the Galaxy figures, I really like how Shockwave was built, really nice and unique kit. Also, the new neck pieces are awesome additions to help the posing, along with the extra ab crunch armor.

Of the Defenders, I love the 3 autobots in this set, they are really fun to mess with, even if I really wish I could have gotten the super rare Grimlock. Hot rod having his saw is still fun. Decepticons are good too, and i am super stoked to eventually get the Devastator parts!

So wave 8 of the Galaxy Class has been revealed as well as a little Ark that becomes a display stand.

I gotta say that Thrilling 30 styled Metroplex may be out of place, but he catches the eye is the best way.

"Dark of the Moon" Bumblebee and Megatron announced.

MyFigureCollection.net collection · Sat Sep 27, 2025 10:48 am

Blokees has been making some new announcements on their Facebook page over the last couple days for a wide range of pop culture series, and of course they had some announcements for Transformers. They started off Friday morning with a gray CAD preview of Bumblebee and Megatron from Dark of the Moon as part of the Classic Class. Then this morning we were treated to the next entry in the Action Edition line, Tarn!

If you aren't familiar with Blokees, they're model kits but pre-painted and made with solid plastic that makes them feel more like traditional action figures when assembled. The Action Edition figures even have light-up features.

Thanks to Seibertronian Perceptor1996 for posting these in the Energon Pub forums! Head over there and let us know what you think of these. It's going to be a while before we have more information on these but there's still plenty to talk about.

More Blokees news with the would wave of Defender Version wave 5 and better look at Classic Class DOTM Bee and Megs, Action Edition Tarn and what appears to be a Action Edition TF Prime Optimus. I may not be a big fan of Prime, but if they do a full line for the show then I may dip in.

News Credits: 6 · Wed Oct 01, 2025 3:21 pm

Another picture of Tarn and Prime. As well as five Transformers for their new Blokees Wheels range. Is includes Optimus, Scapper, what I think are Mirage and Hound. Then the last one that I don't know who they are suppose to be. Maybe Bumblebee because these seem to be new designs.

SG Starscream coming to the shinning series and he's based on the Siege look.

News Credits: 6 · Wed Oct 15, 2025 12:33 pm

Blokees Bruticus shown off the being done the same way as Devastator. Also shown off is that the Blokees Wheels Optimus will have his trailer, the SG Starscream and G1 Shockwave for Shinning wave 4 plus a new Megatron and Bombshell for for Galaxy wave 9.

So I saw that someone has already got their hands on the Blokees Wheels Transformers and we now know the full first wave and they are all IDW based. This will also work like the Defender Version with a wave of 12 with two characters getting two chase versions.

News Credits: 6 · Sat Nov 08, 2025 6:45 pm

The proper full reveal of the Blokees Wheels Transformers wave 1.
I'm very upset that Lost Light Rodimus is going to be the super rare chase.

If you're a Blokees fan or have found yourself curious about why the kits have been a hit with fans you might want to get yourself over to Walmart today. Walmart is launching their Black Friday deals starting now and offering a real steal on Blockees Classic figures, specifically from Rise of the Beasts and the 2007 Movie. They're selling fast online, but they're also getting a display in stores if you want to take a chance and get them in person.

03 ROTB Scourge
04 ROTB Optimus Primal Beast Mode (Currently sold out online)
05 ROTB Optimus Primal Robot Mode
06 ROTB Mirage
07 ROTB Arcee (Currently sold out online)
09 Movie Optimus Prime
10 Movie Megatron

Walmart is also offering other Blokees deals on things like Galaxy and Defender cases online. Word of warning, if you order the single Galaxy Version 06 blind boxes they ship from the store and you'll likely get a Version 05 instead, which is what happened to me this morning.

Fri Nov 14, 2025 11:20 am

Arcee and Beast Mode Primal are NOT in stores. At least not in any stores I found in Ohio.

Ours had a TON of Movie Optimus and Megatron. Mirage and Primal Robot mode were second with just a few Scourge packed in there.

Grabbed Scourge and the cheaper Bumblebee there while I could so I can pair them up.

Gott say the Classics class detailing is fantastic but I had more fun putting together the Galaxy Hound I got in a blind box.
