Blokees Transformers Classic Class: ONE vs Dark of the Moon vs 2007 Film Kits, All 14 Compared

All 14 Blokees Transformers Classic Class kits ToyNoble covers, grouped by film wave and compared on price, pieces, height, lights, age label and what owners report.

  • Ages 12+ to 14+
  • $19.99–$27.99
  • Researched

Blokees’ Transformers Classic Class is one line with three different movies inside it, and the kits are not interchangeable. The 2007 film pair is the oldest and simplest, the Transformers One wave is the biggest, with seven kits that share a two-stand box and a 12+ label on all but one, and the Dark of the Moon wave is newer, carries a 14+ label, and includes the only $27.99 kit, the DX Jet Wing Optimus Prime.

ToyNoble covers 14 Classic Class Transformers kits, every one snap-fit with no glue or paint and every one with light-up eyes. We compared Blokees’ published specs and owner reviews rather than building the kits, and re-checked prices and stock on Blokees’ US store on November 10, 2026. Every kit links to our researched review, and you can compare all of our researched kit reviews in one place.

If you want Buy List price Age Why
A first Transformers One kit 16 Starscream $19.99 12+ 30 to 60 minute build by Blokees’ estimate, moving wings, two stands, a bonus tank; limited run, so buy when in stock
A quick, calm build 17 Soundwave $19.99 12+ Owners call it a quick, calming build close to the movie model
The 2007 film Optimus 09 Optimus Prime $19.99 12+ The kit that opened the line, with the cleanest owner record
The most posable kit 23 Bumblebee $19.99 14+ Two heads, two hand sets, about an hour to build per one owner
The most building for the money 21 Jet Wing Optimus Prime (DX) $27.99 14+ 163 pieces, seven weapons, 2 to 4 hours; the most breakage reports too
A 12+ pair for a younger builder 11 Optimus Prime + 12 Megatron $39.98 12+ Transformers One leads with four stands between them

How do all 14 kits compare side by side?

Blokees Classic Class 09 Optimus Prime from the 2007 film in an action pose on its display base with effect parts

Classic Class 09 Optimus Prime, the 2007 film kit that opened the Transformers run: 88 pieces, 20 joints, light-up eyes and chest, $19.99.

Classic Class is Blokees’ mid-size snap-fit tier: pre-colored plastic, 20 or so joints and an LED module in the head. When TFW2005 posted the first in-hand photos of the 2007 Optimus and Megatron in June 2024, it called them simple, fun kits with a touch of chibi proportions that stood a bit taller than other Blokees figures. The same site’s Dark of the Moon in-hand post from November 2025 describes the line as easy-to-build kits standing 11.5 cm tall with a light-up gimmick, and adds that Blokees now also calls the tier Champion Class. Our Blokees line comparison covers where it sits against Galaxy Version blind boxes and the bigger Action Edition kits.

The Transformers numbering runs from 09 to 25 on Blokees’ US store, and you can see every Classic Class kit we cover in one place. Three numbered kits are not on ToyNoble yet: 08 Nemesis Prime from Rise of the Beasts ($17.99), 15 B-127 and 19 Ironhide from Transformers One ($19.99 each); number 13 did not appear on Blokees’ US collection page, so we leave it out rather than guess.

Specs are Blokees’ own, as recorded on its product pages; “Not listed” means Blokees leaves the field blank. Cents per piece is our arithmetic from list price and piece count, rounded to the nearest tenth. Lights are covered in their own table below.

Piece counts climb with the release order and height barely moves, so the whole line shares a shelf, though Bumblebee will look small next to Sentinel, which is true to the film. Blokees’ own page for the Starscream kit calls it a limited edition that will not be restocked once sold out, and it showed as out of stock when we checked, as did Soundwave; the other twelve carried no out-of-stock flag that day.

How do the three film waves differ?

Transformers (2007): the oldest pair

Optimus Prime and Megatron were released together in 2024 and share a box size. Optimus has a flame sword, a blaster and a display base; Megatron has his weapons, and one owner who built both found Megatron slightly harder. They are the only two kits in the line with the live-action film’s flame deco and the chrome-and-bone look of Bayverse Megatron, and the chibi proportions TFW2005 described fit the photos: big feet, a wide chest, short legs.

Transformers One: seven kits, two stands each

Blokees Classic Class 14 Sentinel Prime from Transformers One in combat mode, posed as if flying

Classic Class 14 Sentinel Prime switches between standard and combat modes, the only kit in the wave with a mode swap.

The animated movie gets the biggest wave: Optimus Prime, Megatron, Sentinel Prime, Starscream, Soundwave, Shockwave and Megatronus. Six of the seven come with two display stands, which no other wave does, and Megatronus breaks the pattern with one stand, a 14+ label and the most involved build in the wave. Elita-1 and a Cogged-mode Bumblebee were shown in TFW2005’s September 2024 reveal post alongside Optimus and Megatron, but neither is on ToyNoble yet.

Each kit has a hook. Optimus brings an Energon axe with a blue effect, Sentinel swaps between standard and combat armor, Starscream has twin-jointed wings and a bonus 2.44-inch Megatron tank, Soundwave’s chest plate opens, Shockwave has drop-down hips, and Megatronus carries a trident. The trade-off owners mention most is size: the Transformers One Megatron and Optimus are called skinny or smaller than expected, usually by owners comparing them to the live-action kits.

Dark of the Moon: four kits, one of them DX

Blokees DX Classic Class 21 Jet Wing Optimus Prime in a flight pose with the wing pack open

DX Classic Class 21 Jet Wing Optimus Prime: 163 pieces, seven weapons and a 2 to 4 hour build, $27.99.

The third wave is the live-action Chicago battle: Jet Wing Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee and Sentinel Prime, with two effect parts each on Megatron and Bumblebee. TFW2005’s first look at Sentinel in March 2026 described the tier as a 4.5-inch, 11.5 cm line and showed Sentinel posed with the Megatron and Optimus kits recreating film scenes.

The Jet Wing Optimus is the odd one out: sold as DX Classic Class, $8 more, with a swap head, seven weapons and a 2 to 4 hour build by Blokees’ FAQ. It is also the kit with the most owner complaints about fragile joints. Bumblebee is the posable one, with two heads and two sets of hands; Megatron has the scorched head and, per owners, the stiffest arms, and comes without the film’s hood.

Bumblebee movie: one kit so far

Blokees Classic Class 25 Blitzwing from the Bumblebee movie holding his rifle, wing panels open

Classic Class 25 Blitzwing: 95 pieces, large wing panels, a rifle, light-up eyes and a stand, $19.99.

Blitzwing arrived with the Dark of the Moon Sentinel and is the only character from the 2018 film in this tier under the Classic Class name; Blokees sells that film’s Optimus and Bumblebee under the Champion Class label it now uses for new releases. His wing panels and rifle give him the widest footprint of the $19.99 kits, and the one detailed owner review says posing means moving a lot of parts at once.

What do the 12+ and 14+ labels mean here?

Blokees prints a 12+ age on the 2007 kits and on six of the seven Transformers One kits, and a 14+ age on Megatronus and every kit from 21 onward. That is the maker’s label and the one we point to; the pages do not explain the reasoning, but the 14+ kits are the later releases and include the two biggest builds. Blokees’ care note on the 2007 Optimus adds adult supervision for builders 12 and under.

Two warnings appear on every one of these kits. The first is “WARNING! Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.” Cornell’s Legal Information Institute hosts 16 CFR 1501, the federal small-parts rule for toys intended for children under 3, and these kits are full of pegs, hands and effect parts that would fail it. The second is on the lights: Blokees’ note for the 2007 Optimus reads “Standalone batteries for lighting pose a risk to little children; keep them out of reach to prevent accidental swallowing.”

That second warning matters more than it looks. The American Academy of Pediatrics’ button battery page says thousands of children are treated in emergency departments each year after swallowing button or lithium coin batteries, which are small, shiny and appealing to a child. Several of these kits ship with batteries already installed, so the loose-battery moment is when you swap them; our guide to reading toy warnings and checking recalls goes through the label wording in more depth.

Which kits light up, and what do the lights need?

Every one of the 14 kits has LED eyes. Where they differ is whether the chest lights too, and whether Blokees says batteries are in the box.

Kit Eyes Chest Batteries, per Blokees’ page or owners
09 Optimus (2007) Yes Yes Runs on batteries; Blokees warns to keep spares from young children
10 Megatron (2007) Yes Yes Owner: batteries came installed
11 Optimus (One) Yes Yes Not stated
12 Megatron (One) Yes Yes Not stated
14 Sentinel (One) Yes No Not stated; one owner finds the lights hard to switch off
16 Starscream (One) Yes Listed as LED eyes and chest on Blokees’ page Batteries power the eye lights
17 Soundwave (One) Yes Yes Battery modules included
18 Shockwave (One) Yes (one eye) Yes Batteries included; one owner’s light did not work on arrival
20 Megatronus (One) Yes Yes Not stated
21 Jet Wing Optimus (DX) Yes Yes Batteries included; Blokees’ FAQ says the LED system uses standard replaceable batteries
22 Megatron (DOTM) Yes No Not stated
23 Bumblebee (DOTM) Yes No; one owner says the headlights light Not stated
24 Sentinel (DOTM) Yes No Not stated
25 Blitzwing Yes No Not stated

Blokees’ Starscream FAQ says the LED modules are integrated into the kit and points you to the battery manual for replacement, so treat the module as part of the build, not a separate accessory. Two Shockwave owners say the eye light shows through the top of his head, a Sentinel owner wanted the hand blasters to light too, and one Shockwave buyer received a light that did not work out of the box, so test the LED before you close the torso.

Which kits pair up for display?

Blokees Classic Class 17 Soundwave from Transformers One, front three-quarter view

Classic Class 17 Soundwave was released alongside 18 Shockwave; together they make the High Guard pair.

Because each wave shares a scale and a design language, the natural pairs are inside a wave. Each kit brings its own stand, and the Transformers One kits bring two, so a seven-kit Transformers One shelf comes with 13 stands by Blokees’ listings. Starscream’s bonus Megatron tank is the one piece that bridges kits: a tiny vehicle-mode nod to the character you get full size as Classic Class 12.

Display Kits List price
The 2007 duel 09 Optimus + 10 Megatron $39.98
Transformers One rivals 11 Optimus + 12 Megatron $39.98
Transformers One trio 11 Optimus + 12 Megatron + 14 Sentinel Prime $59.97
The High Guard 17 Soundwave + 18 Shockwave $39.98
Decepticons to be 16 Starscream + 17 Soundwave + 18 Shockwave + 20 Megatronus $79.96
Full Transformers One wave 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20 $139.93
Chicago, in two 21 Jet Wing Optimus + 22 Megatron $47.98
Full Dark of the Moon wave 21, 22, 23 Bumblebee, 24 Sentinel Prime $87.96
Everything on ToyNoble All 14 kits $287.86

Totals are our arithmetic from Blokees’ list prices.

Mixing waves is a matter of taste. The 2007 pair and the Dark of the Moon kits are the same live-action continuity, so Optimus 09 next to Jet Wing Optimus 21 reads as the same character four years apart, while the Transformers One kits are animated designs, slimmer and brighter. Our display guide has shelf-depth and dust advice, and if the budget is wider than Classic Class, our Transformers model kits by budget guide covers the bigger Action Edition and Yolopark kits.

What do owners report about each kit?

Blokees Classic Class 23 Bumblebee from Dark of the Moon posed with his arm cannon raised

Classic Class 23 Bumblebee: two heads, two hand sets and shoulder missile pods, and one owner’s pick for the most posable kit in the line.

What follows is paraphrased from owner reviews on Blokees’ store as recorded in our product data in October 2026. Review counts had moved a little by our November check (Starscream was at 27, Bumblebee at 20, 2007 Optimus at 20), but the themes had not.

Kit Reviews we read What owners like What owners flag
09 Optimus (2007) 20 on Blokees’ page, rated 5.0 Pre-printed armor, quick build, posing range, lights at the price None we found; every review was on the maker’s store
10 Megatron (2007) 17; 16 five-star Detail at this size, light-up eyes, batteries installed Slightly harder than Optimus; one owner suggests gluing non-moving parts
11 Optimus (One) 19; 14 five-star Movie-accurate, easy, good with kids, Energon axe Head swivels but does not look up or down; a bit skinny
12 Megatron (One) 27; 19 five-star, 2 one-star Menacing lit eyes, easy build, hidden cog Easter egg Skinny, smaller than expected; two owners found parts flimsy or hard to fit
14 Sentinel (One) 37; 28 five-star, 3 one-star Sword, mode swap, bigger than the 2007 kits Loose arms and small parts; lights hard to switch off; no lit hand blasters; one owner used glue after breaks
16 Starscream (One) 24; 22 five-star, none below four Stance, moving wings, glowing eyes, mini Megatron tank One owner: some parts did not snap cleanly
17 Soundwave (One) 15; 14 five-star Quick, calming build; close to the movie model One brittle arm broke off
18 Shockwave (One) 25; 20 five-star, 1 two-star Posing range, metallic purple plastic Eye light shows through the head; loose shoulders; one owner had four parts break in ten days
20 Megatronus (One) 17; 13 five-star, none below four Smooth build, armor detail, looks good under a blacklight A little fragile; one owner wished it were bigger
21 Jet Wing Optimus (DX) 38; 31 five-star, 4 at three or fewer Weapon count, stays steady with the wings on Snapped knees and legs, cracked swords; one refund declined after the box was opened
22 Megatron (DOTM) 8; 5 five-star Movie accuracy, price Tight arm joints, few painted details, limited movement; no hood
23 Bumblebee (DOTM) 19; 16 five-star Among the most posable in the line; headlights light; about an hour to build Default face hard to read against the dark body; fists hard to remove; plain black areas
24 Sentinel (DOTM) 6; 5 five-star Movement and accessories match the film Sword connector snapped; few reviews
25 Blitzwing 4; all five-star The look Posing means moving many parts; too few reviews to judge fit

Two themes run through the table. The first is fragility on the later, bigger kits: the Jet Wing Optimus, Shockwave, Sentinel Prime 14 and Soundwave all have at least one report of a broken part, and the Jet Wing Optimus has several. The second is that the complaints on the Transformers One leads are about proportion, not quality. Megatron 22, Sentinel 24 and Blitzwing have 18 reviews between them, so a single bad box would swing their numbers.

Inspect the runners before you start. Blokees’ US store page says you can return an order within 30 days of receipt in unused condition with packaging intact, and that an opened toy cannot be returned; one Jet Wing Optimus owner learned that after a breakage during assembly.

FAQs

Do Blokees Classic Class kits transform?

No. Blokees’ FAQ for the Shockwave kit says it does not transform, and the same is true across the line; these are robot-mode figures you build and pose. The one vehicle in the whole group is the bonus Megatron tank in the Starscream box, a separate 2.44-inch model, not a transformation of Starscream. Blokees’ Action Edition kits are bigger and more articulated but still do not transform, so for a converting figure you would look at Hasbro’s own lines instead.

Why are there two Sentinel Primes and three Megatrons?

Because the line follows three different films. Classic Class 14 is Sentinel Prime as he appears in the animated Transformers One, with a standard-to-combat mode swap; Classic Class 24 is the live-action Dark of the Moon Sentinel with his shield and blade. The Megatrons split the same way: 10 is the 2007 film design, 12 is the slim Transformers One final form, and 22 is the scorched Dark of the Moon version, while Megatronus, Classic Class 20, is the fallen Prime from Transformers One. Pair by number within the wave, 09 with 10, 11 with 12, 21 with 22; our Optimus Prime kit comparison covers the Prime side of the shelf.

How long does a Blokees Classic Class kit take to build?

Blokees gives two numbers on its own pages: 30 to 60 minutes for the Transformers One Starscream and 2 to 4 hours for the DX Jet Wing Optimus Prime. Owners fill in the middle: a Dark of the Moon Bumblebee owner says about an hour, and Soundwave owners call theirs a quick, calming build after work. Everything except Megatronus and the Jet Wing Optimus should land in the one-hour range for a first-time builder, which makes Classic Class a one-sitting line, unlike the Action Edition kits, where owners report several hours.

Is the DX Jet Wing Optimus Prime worth $8 more than the other kits?

On paper, yes: $27.99 buys the most pieces, seven weapons, a swap head, a wing pack, LED eyes and chest with batteries included, and the longest build in the line, and owners say it stands steady even with the wings on. The counterweight is the owner record: several report snapped knees or legs and cracked swords, and one grandparent says Blokees declined a refund after both legs broke during assembly because the box had been opened. Buy it for a patient builder who will pose it gently, and inspect the leg joints before you commit.

Can I still buy the Starscream and Soundwave kits?

Not from Blokees’ US store when we checked: both showed as out of stock, and Blokees’ FAQ on the Starscream page calls it a limited edition that will not be restocked once sold out. Soundwave’s page carries no such note, so it may return; we cannot say when. If you find either kit elsewhere, compare the price to the $19.99 list and check that it is the Classic Class number you want, 16 or 17, rather than the smaller Galaxy Version blind-box figure of the same character; the box number is the only reliable tell.
