The Transformers One universe brings fans back to the origins of Optimus Prime and Megatron, two of the most legendary names in sci-fi history. Before they became mortal enemies, they shared a bond as brothers-in-arms, united by a vision to protect their home planet, Cybertron.
This powerful prequel not only reveals how friendship turned into rivalry but also inspires a new wave of collectibles — from cinematic figures to exclusive Blokees Transformers toys that reimagine these heroes in stunning detail.
The Origin Story: When Brothers Turned Enemies
In Transformers One (2024), we finally see how the once inseparable allies—Orion Pax (Optimus Prime) and D-16 (Megatron)—evolved from partners into adversaries. Set entirely on Cybertron, the film explores the early political and moral conflicts that divided their society.
Optimus Prime, guided by compassion and justice, envisioned harmony among Cybertronians. Megatron, however, believed in strength, hierarchy, and revolution. Their clash over ideology became the spark that ignited an eternal war between Autobots and Decepticons.
The Evolution of Optimus Prime
Optimus Prime, originally Orion Pax, began as a humble data clerk with strong ideals. His transformation into a leader is a symbol of courage and sacrifice.
In Transformers One, voiced by Chris Hemsworth, Prime’s personality combines leadership with empathy. His weaponized armor and truck transformation showcase his duality—protector and warrior.
Blokees celebrates this evolution through collectible kits like:

The Rise and Fall of Megatron

Megatron’s story mirrors tragedy and ambition. Once a miner fighting for justice, he transforms into a warlord when his dream for equality turns violent. Voiced by Brian Tyree Henry, Megatron’s journey reveals a deeper motive—freedom corrupted by power.
On the collectible front, Blokees introduces:
