The snap-fit engineering maestros at Blokees have officially delivered the definitive pocket-sized treatment for live-action Autobot designs as reported by TFW2005. Pre-orders have officially opened for the highly anticipated Transformers Champion Class No. 26 Optimus Prime and No. 27 Bumblebee model kits.
Taking direct structural inspiration from Travis Knight's acclaimed 2018 Bumblebee movie opening sequence, this wave marks the debut of the Champion Class format (formerly known to collectors as Classic Class), packing premium metallic finishes and integrated electronic features into an exceptionally wallet-friendly package.
Movie-Accurate Proportions and Premium Finishes
Standing at approximately 11.5 cm tall, this Champion Class Optimus Prime represents a monumental leap forward over past Rise of the Beasts brick iterations as broken down by Bleeding Cool. The design ditches traditional blocky chibi constraints to prioritize screen-accurate, near-perfect mechanical proportions.
The kit is crafted entirely from 118 pre-painted, snap-fit ABS components that clip together seamlessly without requiring any specialized plastic nippers, cutters, or glue:
- Vibrant Color Separation: The plastic molds feature a beautiful metallic layout finish. The red upper chest pieces sport a deeper, muted satin luster, while the leg armor sections carry a brilliant glossy cobalt blue coat.
- Intricate Internal Skeleton: Built completely over a heavy-duty inner structural joint frame, the figure packs 20 moving points of articulation, including high-extension butterfly shoulder hinges and extensive ankle tilt pathways.
- LED Electronics: The internal head assembly houses a fully functional, battery-operated glowing LED gimmick that illuminates Prime's piercing blue optical visor lenses.
Formidable Tactical Loadouts
True to his Cybertronian frontline presence, Optimus Prime comes heavily armed to lead the Autobot counter-offensive. The kit includes his iconic Ion Blaster rifle.
The box also packages three pairs of expressive, swappable hand configurations—including solid clenching fists, relaxed open-palm gestures, and a dedicated finger-pointing hand to confidently command your troops to roll out! The entire set mounts securely to an upgraded matte-black presentation stand.
Pre-Order Windows, Timelines, and Regional Pricing
The manufacturing pipeline is operating at maximum capacity. Pre-orders went live globally on August 26, 2026, through major online retail outlets, including Blokees.com and Nerdzoic. Individual kits carry 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.
