Blokees Transformers Defender Version: Every Wave, and How to Build Devastator and Bruticus

If you want one Blokees line that gives you a full Transformers cast for the price of a single large figure, Defender Version is it. Blokees’ US store sold each wave only as a 12-box whole set for $35.88 when we checked in October 2026, and every box inside is random. The two combiners are the reason most collectors go deep: Devastator needs six vehicles from waves 01 to 03 and a $4.99 accessory, and Bruticus needs five vehicles from waves 04 to 06 and its own $4.99 kit. Either one costs $112.63 if you buy the three sets and the add-on, which is the same price Blokees charges for its bundle.

What is Blokees Defender Version?

Megatron from Defender Version 01. Each kit is about 2.17 inches tall once built.

Defender Version is Blokees’ smallest Transformers blind-box line. Blokees lists the kits at about 2.17 inches tall with 14 points of articulation, and the newest wave, Battle Stars, at about 1.97 inches. They snap together without tools, and Blokees’ FAQ is plain that the finished figures do not transform. TFWiki’s Blokees page puts them at roughly half the height of a Galaxy Version figure, and says the line launched in late 2024.

Two things set Defender apart from Blokees’ other blind boxes. First, each wave has 12 kits instead of nine, and a Blokees whole set holds all 12 regular characters with no duplicates, according to the FAQ on its Defender pages. Second, some of those 12 are vehicles rather than robots, and certain vehicles are limbs of a larger figure. Collect the right six and add a cheap accessory kit, and you have Devastator.

Every wave carries the same safety text in ToyNoble’s product data: “WARNING! Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.” Blokees labels the line 8+.

The CPSC fact sheet on the Child Safety Protection Act explains why small-parts labels appear on toys for older kids, so follow the age on the box rather than guessing from the size of the figure. We keep every wave on one page in our Defender Version hub.

Bottom line: Defender is the cheapest way into Blokees Transformers per figure, as long as you are happy with 2-inch kits and random boxes.

Why do most Defender waves sell only as whole sets in the US?

On Blokees’ US store, the product you can add to your cart for each Defender wave is the 12-box set box, and none of the eight waves in our data listed a single box. That is different from Galaxy and Shining Version, where Blokees sells singles. Some other US retailers do list single Defender boxes; Midtown Comics, for example, has a single Battle Stars listing and a display case of 12, with a release date of October 14, 2026 and a note that duplicates are possible when boxes are bought loose.

A whole set changes the math. Blokees’ FAQ says a full set box has no duplicate regular characters, so one set gives you the complete regular lineup for $35.88, or $2.99 a kit by our arithmetic. That means every combiner vehicle in a wave is inside one set box, which is why the combiner plan below is “buy three sets,” not “open boxes until you get lucky.”

What stays random is the chase. Blokees’ pages describe Special Galaxy Type and Special Armor Type versions, and its per-box odds are 5 in 144 for each Special Galaxy figure and 1 in 144 for each Special Armor figure. TFWiki reads this as one chase per case, and Blokees’ Defender 05 FAQ, as recorded in ToyNoble’s review, calls the odds production ratios rather than a promise per box.

A Defender 08 owner reported a set with no chase at all. If you are new to how these odds work across Blokees’ lines, our Blokees blind boxes guide covers Galaxy, Shining and Defender together.

Bottom line: Treat the whole set as the product. You get all 12 regular kits for $35.88; the chase is a bonus you cannot plan on.

What does every Defender Version wave cost, and what is inside?

A Defender Version set box holds 12 sealed boxes. Heavy Metal War carries three of the six Devastator vehicles.

Prices are ToyNoble list prices from Blokees’ US store, checked in October 2026. The per-kit figure is our own division of the set price by 12. Lineups come from Blokees’ product pages as recorded in each ToyNoble review.

A few notes on reading the table. Waves 01, 02, 04 and 05 are the clean “8 robots, 4 vehicles” pattern. Waves 03, 06 and 07 fold beast modes or extra vehicles into the 12, and wave 08 is a little smaller per kit. TFWiki also lists a ninth wave, Power of the Primes, as scheduled but not yet at mass retail; it was not on ToyNoble or Blokees’ US store when we checked, so it is not priced here.

Odds are the same shape in every wave. Blokees lists 1 in 12 per box for most regular kits, 1 in 24 for the two headline characters, 5 in 144 for each of their Special Galaxy versions, and 1 in 144 for each Special Armor version. The named chases change by wave: Optimus Prime Firepower and Megatron Fully Armed in 01, Fully Armed Coronation Starscream in 02, Soundwave with his laser bird and mech dog in 03, Nemesis Leo Prime in 07.

How do you build Devastator from Defender Version kits?

The Devastator accessory is parts only: head, torso, arms, upper legs, cannon and a second face plate.

The Devastator combining accessory is a $4.99 kit of 28 parts, and it is not a figure on its own. Graphic Policy’s Brett, in his post on the Blokees Devastator combiner, lists the contents as a head, cannon, torso, arms, upper leg and an alternate face plate, plus a Devastator art card. Blokees says the combined figure stands about 6.69 inches, rates it 8+, and gives a build time of 30 to 45 minutes in its FAQ.

The six vehicles come from three waves, and each one is a regular kit, not a chase:

The cost is simple if you buy sets. Three whole sets at $35.88 plus the $4.99 kit come to $112.63 by our math, and Blokees’ own bundle of the accessory with all three waves was listed at the same $112.63 in ToyNoble’s data. Blokees also sells the kit bundled with one or two of the waves, from $40.87 upward, which suits someone who already owns part of the run. Blokees limits the accessory to five per account.

Single boxes are a worse route for a combiner, and we can put a rough number on it. Treating each box as an independent 1-in-12 draw, our math says you would open about 12 boxes on average to pull one specific vehicle, about 18 to pull both wave-02 vehicles, and about 22 to pull all three from wave 03. That is around 52 boxes for Devastator, against 36 boxes in three whole sets that are promised to contain every regular kit. Real results vary either way; the point is that the set route has no gamble on the vehicles.

On fit, owners on Blokees’ store are mostly happy to finally link up their Constructicons, and the 47 reviews there averaged 4.9 of 5 when ToyNoble checked. The complaints are small: one owner got a broken part, another a slightly misprinted red visor. Two Bruticus owners say that kit holds together more tightly than Devastator, so expect a little looseness in the bigger figure.

How do you build Bruticus from Defender Version kits?

Bruticus uses five vehicles and stands about 6.85 inches, per Blokees.

The Bruticus combining accessory follows the same idea with 44 parts for $4.99, an instruction booklet, and no vehicles. Blokees puts the combined figure at about 6.85 inches and rates it 8+. Graphic Policy’s Brutal Fang reveal notes that wave 06 “wraps up all of the vehicle releases of the Combaticons,” which is why the kit arrived after that wave.

Bruticus needs five vehicles from three waves:

The set-route cost is the same as Devastator: three whole sets plus the kit, $112.63 by our math, and Blokees’ three-wave bundle was listed at $112.63. By the same single-box arithmetic as above, Bruticus would take roughly 48 loose boxes on average (12 for Brawl, 18 for each pair), so again the sets win. TFormers reported in May 2026 that Takara Tomy Mall sold a Japanese version of the same parts set, listed for Defender Vol. 4 to 6 and priced at 770 yen, in its Bruticus parts set story.

Owner reports lean positive, with a sharper warning than Devastator gets. The 33 reviews on Blokees’ store averaged 4.8 of 5 when ToyNoble checked. Two owners say Bruticus fits more tightly than Devastator with no loose limbs.

One owner, though, had a knee hinge between the legs break more than once and waited weeks for replacement parts, and another saw stress marks on a vehicle-mode hinge. Handle the hinges gently on the first combine.

Is the advent calendar a shortcut to Bruticus?

The calendar’s Christmas Optimus Prime, one of the listed, not random, contents.

Yes, for Bruticus only. Blokees lists the 2026 Christmas Advent Calendar at $79.99 with 16 regular kits, five Combaticon vehicles, a combining part, two chase versions and a Christmas Optimus Prime, 25 doors in all. Unlike a wave, the contents are listed rather than random, so the two chases and the full combiner are known before you buy.

Against the three-set route, our math says the calendar saves $32.64 on Bruticus and still leaves you with 16 other kits. The trade-off is overlap: one early owner says the characters come from Defender waves 4 to 6, and Blokees’ own list names Optimus Primal, Cheetor, Ultra Magnus, Jetfire, Galvatron and Shockwave. If you already own those waves, you would be paying for repeats. There were only two owner reviews when ToyNoble checked, both written before any door was opened, so quality reports do not exist yet.

There is no calendar equivalent for Devastator. If the Constructicons are the goal, waves 01 to 03 are the only route, and the Devastator accessory is the only combining kit for them.

Bottom line: New to the line and want Bruticus by Christmas? The $79.99 calendar beats three sets. Already own waves 04 to 06? Skip it and buy the $4.99 kit.

Which Defender Version wave should you buy first?

Star Optimus Prime from Battle Stars, the newest wave in our data.

Since every wave costs $35.88, the decision is about characters and what you plan to build next. Work through these questions in order.

Do you want a combiner at all?

If the answer is no, pick by cast. Wave 01 is the classic G1 cast with Optimus Prime and Megatron. Wave 08 is the modern pick, with Tarn, Windblade, Arcee and Drift, and one owner on Blokees’ store was pleased to see Sky Garry made at all.

Wave 07 is the deep cut for Beast Wars II and Neo fans, with Magmatron and Big Convoy. Our guide to Optimus Prime kits across Blokees’ lines helps if that character is the whole point.

Devastator or Bruticus?

Devastator means waves 01 to 03, which also happen to hold the most familiar G1 names, so it is the natural first run. Bruticus means waves 04 to 06, which mix the 1986 movie cast with Beast Wars. If you want both, that is six sets and two kits, $225.26 by our math, and a shelf of 72 small figures plus two 6.7-inch combiners.

How much can you spend this month?

One set and the matching accessory is the cheapest way to start a combiner: $40.87 for wave 01 plus the Devastator kit in Blokees’ bundle. You will own one limb and a torso with nowhere to go, but you are committed to a plan rather than opening random boxes. Our budget guide to blind boxes covers how to pace purchases like this, and if you can wait a few weeks, our Black Friday notes for collectors explain what tends to move on Blokees’ lines in late November.

Is a chase figure the reason you are buying?

Then slow down. Blokees’ odds put each Special Galaxy version at 5 in 144 and each Special Armor version at 1 in 144 per box, and a set is not promised to contain a particular one. One Defender 07 owner bought five set boxes and got the same Nemesis Leo Prime every time, with no regular Leo Prime in any of them.

A second set of the same wave also repeats all 12 regular kits. Buy the wave for the 12 you can see on the box.

Is this a gift for a child?

Blokees labels every Defender wave 8+, and a parent on Blokees’ store says they and their 8-year-old enjoy building the line together. Open and check the set soon after it arrives: one parent found a missing piece after Christmas and was refused a replacement under Blokees’ 15-day window. If the recipient would rather have one larger figure than 12 tiny ones, our Transformers model kits guide compares Defender with Blokees’ bigger lines and Yolopark AMK by budget. You can also start from our model kit and collectible reviews and filter by age.

Bottom line: Start with wave 01 if you want Devastator or the G1 cast, wave 04 if Bruticus is the goal, and wave 08 if you want the newest characters and no combiner.
