The Autobot scouting team is officially getting a massive structural upgrade. Following the massive reveal of the matching Optimus Prime kit via TFW2005, Blokees has officially launched pre-orders for the highly anticipated Transformers Champion Class No. 27 Bumblebee model kit.
Taking its gorgeous, hyper-detailed design cues from the critically acclaimed 2018 Bumblebee solo movie, this figure debuts under the newly rebranded "Champion Class" banner (formerly known as Classic Class). It completely modernizes the iconic scout with a screen-accurate aesthetic and electronic features at a highly affordable price point.
Screen-Accurate VW Beetle Elements and Premium Plastic
Standing beautifully at 10 cm tall, this Champion Class Bumblebee is built in perfect structural scaling next to the 11.5 cm Optimus Prime kit. The design shifts entirely away from stylized, blocky chibi formats to honor the rounder, organic shapes of Bee’s live-action Cybertronian and earth-based alt-modes.
The kit is composed entirely of 90 pre-painted, snap-fit parts that come completely off the runner, allowing for tool-free assembly without any glue:
- Vibrant Color Separation: The plastic pieces boast a gorgeous satin-matte canary yellow finish paired with weathered gunmetal grey sections on the inner mechanical thighs and abdominal wiring paths.
- Iconic Car Details: The torso armor beautifully replicates the classic Volkswagen Beetle front bumper assembly, complete with silver-trimmed headlights and realistic grilles.
- LED Electronics Gimmick: The head sculpt features a built-in, battery-operated glowing LED system that illuminates Bumblebee’s piercing blue optics with the push of a button.
He might be small, but he is fully equipped to hold the frontline. Bumblebee comes packed with multiple display configurations to switch seamlessly between his stealth and combat modes. The kit includes a fully swappable right forearm piece that transforms directly into his signature Plasma Blaster arm cannon.
The box also packages three sets of interchangeable hands (fists, open palms, and weapon grips) alongside an upgraded matte-black presentation stand to support extreme leaping and sliding poses safely.
Release Dates, Pricing, and Pre-Order Hubs
The manufacturing line is operating at maximum capacity. Pre-orders went live globally on August 26, 2026, across authorized hobby outlets like Blokees.com and Nerdzoic. The kit carries an incredibly budget-friendly standard MSRP of $19.99 USD.
The initial retail boxes are officially locked into freight containers and scheduled to begin shipping out directly to consumers in September 2026.
