A few months ago, I was puzzled by Blokees’ decision to release dedicated Transformers vehicle toys in a new lineup called Blokees Wheels. But after coming across a Micro Machines playset, I started to see the potential value of these vehicle-sized figures,especially when used alongside playsets.
Not long after the Optimus Prime truck version debuted in Blokees Wheels Vol. 01, Blokees quickly followed up with an add-on set featuring Optimus Prime’s trailer. Because let’s be honest, a G1 Optimus Prime is never truly complete without his iconic trailer-turned-command-base.
Blokees could’ve simply released a plain trailer with no gimmicks and collectors still gobble it, but instead they went all-in. This add-on includes a minicar plus the full secret-base transformation, just like a proper Optimus Prime toy should. Even better, the interior can apparently store up to nine Blokees Defender-series vehicles.
Given the features, I expect the add-on to cost around $5 USD, which feels reasonable for the amount of gimmick packed into it and likely much easier to obtain compared to Blokees Devastator combiner partswhich is still facing shortages.
I’m looking forward to seeing what other Transformers Blokees Wheels figures might receive the same luxurious treatment that Optimus just got.
