Big LEGO Transformers sets that actually transform are impressive, but you can only display one mode at a time—unless you splurge on a second set. Plus, they’re more “robotic warrior” than “adorable display pieces.” This is where the new LEGO BrickHeadz Transformers sets come in, offering both the robot and vehicle modes—without the transforming headaches. And yeah, they’re pretty darn cute.
LEGO BrickHeadz Optimus Prime Robot & Vehicle (40803)
First up, we’ve got Optimus Prime—leader of the Autobots and part-time motivational speaker. This set includes two BrickHeadz models: a 9 cm (3.5-inch) tall robot and a 7 cm (2.5-inch) high truck. The wheels even spin, which is neat if you enjoy pushing tiny trucks around your desk during Zoom calls. As expected, the details are unmistakably Optimus: red torso, blue legs, and a faceplate that screams, “Freedom is the right of all sentient beings… and collectors.”
LEGO BrickHeadz Bumblebee Robot & Vehicle (40804)
Then there’s Bumblebee, who arrives in all his bright yellow glory. The bot stands 8 cm (3 inches) tall, while his car mode measures 7 cm (2.5 inches) long. Both models sit on display bases, so you can show off Bumblebee in robot and car form at the same time—without buying a second set.
Pricing and Availability
So, if you want Autobots with maximum cuteness and minimal effort, these BrickHeadz have you covered. Just remember: they won’t transform no matter how hard you hum the theme song. The LEGO BrickHeadz Optimus Prime Robot & Vehicle (40803) and the LEGO BrickHeadz Bumblebee Robot & Vehicle (40804) are set to drop on March 01, 2025 for US$19.99 each.
