Looks pretty neat!
I appreciate the detail of tiny extra arms as a reference to The Beast. (I'm sure it's not really that, but shut up it is now.)
Not a lot of competition there. Potpie is a wreck, Legacy is clearly a premold for Dinoking, and the big Cyberverse one is, well, a big Cyberverse toy.
I like the potpie version.
It's easy to make something look well-proportioned and clean if it doesn't have to transform. I've seen so many silly comments like that about the new Action Edition Optimus Prime. "Blokees should make transforming ones! Imagine what that would look like!" Well, kiddo, it wouldn't look like that anymore... Or it wouldn't cost anything near what either Hasbro or Blokees currently charge.
Remember what happens when Hasbro/Takara doesn't design Transformers:

LET THIS BE A WARNING TO YOU ALL!!
If that Bumblebee were as cheap as it looks and I could buy it at Big Lots or Walgreens like other Mattel Transforming robots I would do so in a heartbeat and love it. I don't know what it is, but even when I was a kid I was more drawn to 'charmingly incompetent' than 'boringly adequate' robots.
So I was watching a reel about a guy opening a case of these, and I never heard the name pronounced before. So is it Blow Keys or is it Block Ees?
It's spelt Blokees but it's pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove.
I need a confused reaction.....
Google translate says 布鲁可 "translates" to "Bruco" (pronounced exactly as it's spelled) despite that not being an English word, but also gives the Chinese pronounciation as "Bu-LU-ka".
The English spelling pretty clearly isn't either of those, but I guess it's technically possible that the "blo" part is like "blew" instead of like "blow"?
