Blokees

Bruticus feels a lot more solid than Devastator. Not that Devy is bad at all (mine has one weak shoulder, I could fix it easily enough but I'm lazy), but Bruticus just feels like he has more heft to him. The joints feel a lot more robust, especially in the legs.
Also, I got the metallic Beast Megatron, yes.
Foreshadowing for a Shockwave in submarine mode in a later wave?
My Tier list for Blokes Wheels set one
S Tier: Mirage Dragstrip Runabout
The F1 cars are fantastic there designs need to be used for a mainline fig! Runabout was a shocker moving hood doors and roof
A Tier: Prowl
This was almost an S Prowl is so wild and different love it
B Tier Gears Swerve Hot Rod Optimus Prime
I love the gremlins that are Gears and Swerve I thought I would dislike them but no. Prime is basic as is Hot Rod
C Tier: Hound Swindle
There just ok
Z Tier: Megatron
Its just bad the design is odd it has no metal part unlike the others (Sans Clear Prime) I hate it
Scamper TBD
Conclusion Blokes need to focus on the cars more cos there the best leave the the wild alt modes alone
Set 2 does have 2 Id want but the rest I dont I dont think ill get all of set 2 unlike set 1

I love the specific amount of unpredictable that Blokees character selections are. On one hand, I can feel confident that any particular Autobot or Decepticon I remember from the G1 cartoon is probably inevitable. On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised to see Armada Overload or something.
That's part of what made Blokees work. Most of the time, there's nothing sadder than licensed third parties. They make non-transforming Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, and Soundwave in a style that tries really hard to be extremely slavishly Sunbow except for a couple details that are just completely wrong for some reason. And that's it. But Blokees bothered to come up with a distinct style, and quickly made it clear that the character selection is wide open.
Fingers crossed for Galvatron in beast mode.
I wonder if G1 Galvatron will be part of this Galaxy wave, or if he'll be in a separate wave later in the year. I'm assuming separate so they can have chase versions for both Rodimus and Galvatron. Since I got that chase Megatron, I'd like to see a partially reformatted Galvatron that mirrors Megatron so you can line them up to show the reformatting in progress.

If you put some inflection on different syllables: it's like a pokemon talking.
Well speaking of that....
... this isn't Transformers, but it is Blokees related, so I feel it's still on topic.
I've mostly passed on the Blokees trend in this fandom, save for a few specific ones I want. The whole "non-transforming Transformers" thing really isn't my cup of tea, regardless of how well they're done.
I am, however, always in the market for good Pokemon figures. They are shockingly hard to come by, given how widespread, popular, and profitable Pokemon is as a franchise. You'd think they'd have gotten some consistently good action figures by now, but no. And any time they do get a halfway decent line, it always ends before they get to my favourite, Nidoking. Well no more! Blokees landed a Pokemon licence, and fate smiled upon me, because Nidoking is one of their offerings. So I finally have a halfway decent Nidoking figure. Even if I had to assemble it myself.
Hey look, a Baby Nidoking! Just like the Baby Nidoqueen seen in Mewtwo Returns.
