UPDATE: We got some huge rumors that came in saying we could see a transforming LEGO G1 Bumblebee release in July 2024!
The hype is real now Boys and Girls
Sting like a bee
It's out and it's kinda mid
EXCELLENT WORK. PENPLAYS LEGO TRANSFORMER SET
You get it yet?
I would personally really like Lego to make Bumblebee, but Soundwave would also be cool
Well, your wish came true.
I think that in addition to Optimus not selling as well as I would have expected, another difficulty comes in the fact that a lot of G1 Decepticons turn into things that Lego doesn't want to make (guns, fighter jets, etc.), so that would make Megatron and Starscream difficult to make. Of course, I'd be more than happy to get them as non-transforming models, although that would be pretty inconsistent. All in all though, I would love more Lego Transformers, and I really hope Optimus isn't a one and done deal.
There are non transforming transformers so why can’t their be non transforming Lego transformers
Soundwave is the best option
@@doog462 i'd agree with that. Definitely the most lego looking transformer. The G1 Soundwave look is also iconic enough to sell to even casual fans (and they could even include ravage and laserbeak if they wanted to be really nice to us)
Honestly I think that if the Optimus set was minifig scale it would have sold significantly better.
@@michaelmccutchen4619 maybe at that scale he couldn't have transformed or something.Or maybe they just made him bigger for a batter display piece, idk. While I'd definitely have preferred a cheaper option, at the same time, having him be that big looks really awesome on my shelf lol
4 months later and Bumblebee it is, nice to have a companion
I do not think they will continue with Transformers...but if they do, I would love a Soundwave
He's literally the perfect shape for it too.
@@PenPlays
My thoughts exactly.
And you can get cheap cassettecons as boosters that I’m sure kids would love to play with even without the main bot
@@jmurray1110 they are called minicons not cassettecons even tho they turn into cassettes
@@user-fq5ze1pq3m I subdivide them so this grouping only consists of soundwave and blaster bots
Also minicons are too linked to unicron to make me use the term so broadly
I think Bumblebee would be a good option, something at a smaller scaling likely and a cheaper price, but still just as iconic as Optimus
@@therandomnarwhal he is out bro
Something that i would like is a "head" collection like the star wars helmets from The Transformers live action movies
I say we should probably stick to G1
I mean imagine a galvatron head
@@jmurray1110 imagine a Galvatron set
Soundwave would be a perfect choice, easy alt mode, can include cassettes and he's a decepticon
He's the perfect shape, and the fact he's a tape player has got to have some sort of additional nostalgia bait for LEGO to promote lol
Soundwave may be easy to do in lego but the cassettes would be tricky at an affordable scale.
I'm not that big of a Transformers fan, but after Death Battle finally did Galactus vs Unicron, a part of me wants Lego to make the latter into a LEGO set just because of how good his model looked.
If we're ok with him being a similar size as Optimus? Sure. $500+ would be too much for most (not all) folks, but also at that size, I'm not sure LEGO even makes joints that could help him stand up. I'm willing to compromise, myself.
@@PenPlays please make fully brick built lego versions of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutating figures out of lego please
There’s no way in hell they could make that stable leg alone transform
Crazy Optimus has been out for two years already. As an avid Lego and Transformers collector fan better grab one this year before I miss out like on the legendary Voltron set. If Lego were to move ahead with more 18+ TF sets the logical choice would be a transformable Megatron as fans and collectors would eat it up. Only problem other than his main aesthetic is what to do with him as he can't be presented as a realistic handgun or even a tank given Legos no war policies. Maybe a Cybertronian tank mode or vehicle though that probably won't go over well with long time fans who forever insist on him being a handgun. My personal picks would be either a Soundwave that turns into an IRL cassette play with his transformable cassette cons or if they wanted to be really ambition a Voltron scale Devastator consisting of 6 transformable construction vehicles. But the safest option would I guess to release Bumblebee.
Megatron has has some sci-fi tank designs that look nearly exact to G1 in Robot mode, so I know LEGO has options. They’ve done some fighter planes too, so Starscream isn’t out of the question either. They’d likely call his cannons “Starscream’s Blasters” or something to make it sound like it works. Also LEGO rules are very arbitrary when fan creations being turned into real products are involved. Lots to u pack regarding the possibilities, yet not all hope is lost
@@PenPlaysExactly The Lego creator 3in1 made The Blue Power Jet that is literally a F-35 Lightning so they could certainly do it. And that thing goes for around £144 NEW
I feel if LEGO were to make another transformers set it would most likely be a deception and the most popular one that LEGO would be willing to make is soundwave. But again, lego might not want to make soundwave because they might think that a cassette player won't sell well.
Maybe not to today's younger generation, but for those of us who grew up with Transformers, there would be loads of people who would buy a Lego Soundwave set. I know I would 😄
This would be the perfect year to release a new tf lego set as well with the 40th anniversary
That’s so true!
And a 40th anniversary brick like LEGO SW sets
As to whether prime has been selling well is unknown to me, since it's a big lego set after and those usually don't see many sales due to their prices.
on another note, here's what i think think:
Megatron: Obviously can't be a gun, but also may not be able to be a straight up tank either, i'm thinking making him some kind of "Drill-tank" may be the way to go with him.
Bumblebee: Many of his various incarnations are already popular, my only worry is the volkswagen license and the shaping of the vehicle, i'm personally vouching for him to be made as a licensed vw beetle but i'm worried if the shaping can be done right with the pieces there are.
Soundwave: He's already very simple, you move his arms back, fold his legs around the torso, tuck the head back, and there you have his alt mode. he also has the cassettes which may add a lot of play value but i'm not sure if they could all be done in the size it would be at, ravage and laserbeak probably but rumble and frenzy not so much. also i don't really know if he is popular enough to sell as a lego set, he maybe popular with Tf fans but idk if he'd sell well.
Grimlock: I've never contemplated the possibility of a Grimlock for lego icons, i'm legit surprised i've never thought about that.
+add-on:
as pen says in a reply, soundwave being a tape player also add nostalgia for it
and i didnt really add much on Grimlock since i've never thought about him to be a candidate to be a set............
also it's kind of self explanatory: he's a metal dinosaur that turn into a robot!
Soundwave is a staple in Transformers, but the real question is whether or not fans on both sides will go out their way to get him
@@zippolighter4903 Exactly!!
What would be a dream would a set where it's a 2 in 1 where you can build the robot or the alt mode. And for the heads you can do a small molded one, similar to that Zurg Mech from a while back.
Uhm. Hell no lol. Those 2 in 1 Kre-o sets are trash. Transformers should be able to transform without taking pieces off or complete disassembly.
If they ever make another one , it must be Soundwave. Soundwave superior!
It's insane that we haven't got an entire theame for Lego Transfomers set's,Hasbro seems to be all good with the colab, It's probably more on Lego's part not doing anything about it.....But there's still hope yet
They could make similar sets to the kreo transformers sets. Have minifig scale transformers and also have minifigs of transformers
@@eggroll5510 I don't know if Hasbro would allow that but I'd be down for something like that
@optimascrime5235 yeah ive been messing around with some kreo sets and remaking them with offical lego instead. And a few can transform and some can almost transform without parts forming. I don't have the pieces I need for most but an offical collaboration wave of sets would solve that
holy moly I just realized, imagine a lego devastator bro
It’s be awesome, but it’d also be way to big to display with how heavy it would be
They have to do megatron next. Or they could do some super sentai mechs so they don't have to worry about the function. Have the english release say power rangers and the japanese one say super sentai like with animal crossing. Ultraman would be cool and maybe some mobile suits from Gundam. Maybe some Kamen Rider Technic bikes?
Lego doesn't do "war veichles" so I doubt Megatron
Megatron as a gun and a bumblebee would be hard to make so characters luke soundwave and star scream would be amazing
Well then again it would probably be easier for Lego to make Megatron transform into a tank instead of a gun
Even though I'm not a transformers fan, I agree that there should be more Lego transformers sets
OKAY i know lego wont do this, but i would absolutely love to see some idw characters, especially tarn
All ive ever wanted is an official lego Soundwave
I could see them making a bumblebee, but unless that does really well, I doubt there would be any more after that.
We need way more transformer Lego sets no matter the cost
Anything from Beast Wars like Optimus Primal would be Ultra Gear!
He was my favorite build in years. He is finicky when transforming but once you master it its easy. I love it. The fact that its legoxhasbro Ill probably get them all.
The magic of lego is you don't need them to release one, with enough legos you can make one.
I’d prefer to get everything I need all ready to in a box, personally
I wish the sets would be more affordable and using the buildable figures could be a great alternative
If they did that, they would not be able to transform. And then everyone would complain that they don’t.
@@PenPlays I don't believe it would be as detailed but I do believe it's possible. We can't ever underestimate the ingenuity of lego designers! :)
Indeed. That’s why Optimus is the price he is instead of even more. There are limits to what they can do, and they determined that what we got with him is as small as they could get without compromising details, or making him even more expensive.
I think there's definitely a market out there for Transformers as Lego, and for Lego robots that transform. They have already had a few of those, in the Ninjago theme. I think a problem is the scale. Optimus and many other robots have been quite big, which also raises the price a lot. If we could get robots in a smaller but yet detailed enough scale, the prices would be better and they would sell better too. In Sweden, Optimus cost about 150-190 dollars (with taxes included). That's a LOT. I was lucky and got it at secondary market for about 100 dollars. Even that was a lot for me. I think if they could produce deluxe Lego Transformers for 40 dollars, Voyagers for 60, and Leader for 80, it would sell decent enough. But since it's a licensing issue, it would of course cost more (most Star Wars sets seem to cost 20-30 dollars more than necessary). If we could keep it to around 50 dollars for deluxe, 70 dollars for voyager and 90 dollars for Leader class, it might still work, but higher than that is probably too much. And I realize dollars is not the best term to use here, because Americans seem to never include taxes in their prices, so it might not be the correct comparison, but I'm just trying to use a currency that many are accustomed with. I can only estimate prices based on how our Swedish system works, I can't say exact dollar prices when I don't know the US tax system. In Sweden, prices in stores and on websites are advertised with taxes included. I heard American stores show the prices without taxes and then they add tax at the cashier, which seems...fraudulent.
I think an they should add soundwave
Just make some based off the first five movies because they are more iconic than idk what the block ones are idk
It's funny that now the video is a little out of date, considering now we have Lego Bumblebee.
That smidge at the end. Oh ya. Glad about it too
5:42 they did thankfully
So happy. Hoping for a Decepticon next
i want a Megatron. it will look cool in my collection i think. out of the point i think it would get SO GODDAMN expensive with a trailer
LEGO DND and Peppa Pig this year give me hope. Lego and Hasbro seem to want to maintain a working relationship, and if they do, Transformers sets are a really cool show of both brands.
I wonder how a g1 Devastator would work how they would achieve that
He would be small, and would omit the individual transformations of the Constructicons, but I'm willing to compromise, as LEGO combiner robots and mechs are always so cool.
As cool as it would be to get more Transformers sets, I’m pretty confident that they’re never gonna do more, sadly.
I have the bumblebee set it is great !!!! I just purchased it!!
I would buy a Megatron in seconds
Lego Naruto would be so epic
How LEGO hasn't delved into anime sets, I will never understand.
Wasn’t there an anime-inspired mech theme once?
@@kirboioproductions74398That would be LEGO Exo-Force.
@@kirboioproductions74398It was anime inspired, but wasn’t based of off an existing show.
@@pink_ice9454 oh…makes sense
Another Idea I think Lego should switch to Technic to make actual Transformers that have proper joints and also make transformers from the Bayverse
If they make Bayverse figures, they will be over $1000. Are you prepared to fork over that kind of cash?
Bumblebee would be far too complicated for Lego to tackle. Those of us who build transformers regularly have trouble with Bumblebee, let alone making it play-able. We'd never get a Megatron since Lego won't do a tank or pew pew. It'll likely be a Starscream or a Soundwave, but then they need to figure out how to engineer the cassettes. Beyond that, I STILL say Lego should do themselves a favor and utilize my collection. Nearly 500 deluxe scale models that are affordable and fun to play with. My catalog would serve them for YEARS! IJS
LEGO makes Sci Fi tanks all the time. What do you mean?
They also wouldn't need to be playable as LEGO Transformers would likely only be 18+ sets, and meant for display anyways.
@@PenPlays I mean if they were going to make a tank it would likely resemble the earthrise mode versus having an earth mode OP and a cybertronian tank. The transformation action makes it playable 😁
@@PenPlaysthis is so exciting.
I don’t wanna say it but I think this was a one of set. I just don’t see either company wanting to continue this line
I want soundwave so bad
I would really like to see a Lego version of Bumblebee, Grimlock, Megatron, Soundwave, or Starscream be made.
We.
We would really like to see it.
somebody made a fully transformable bayverse optimus that has correct proportions and a strong build. theres no excuses
Yes. A fan creation. One that a non-LEGO-super-fan audience would be extremely agitated by, for its fragility.
LEGO considers more than just a product existing. They consider stability, build experience, and quality for all audiences.
I need a lego set now!!!
What is the megatron you used in the thumbnail?
It’s a creation of G1 Megatron made by Dad’s Bricks on flickr
I hope we get Soundwave as we need at least one Con, Bumblebee would be a lock in and end on Megatron.
Apparently Bumblebee will release sometime this year. After this point, we really need a Decepticon.
@@PenPlays If that's the case I'm eating good but we NEED at least one Decepticon.
Soundwave seems more likely and fits LEGO very well as the play feature and transformation G1 offers is a no brainer.
@@mbphilipblack8993if they do end up doing a soundwave maybe they can also include some of his cassettecons like Lazerbeak or Ravage
@@thepierogigaming5489 Yes, Ravage and Laserbeak would be SIIIIIIICK!!
Soundwave or grimlock ! G1 of course!
G1 has some of the easiest shapes to make into LEGO. Or at least designs super close would work so so well
Grimlock.
If we get Lego bayverse transformers 💯
We won’t sadly. Too detailed and LEGO sets can only get so big to manage that kind of detail anyways (we’d also have to pay like $2000 for every character at minimum)
@@PenPlays ☹️
When in doubt, comment section out
We will never see a g1 megatron
I think LEGO and Hasbro can make LEGO Transformers at a reasonable price, albeit at a simpler functionality and less detailed as the Icons Optimus Prime.
I worry whether they would be easy to recognize if they made them smaller. Especially if they’re meant to transform. Will be a lot harder
@PenPlays While that is true, there's also LEGO Transformers MOCs by Studentscissors and Masterpiecebuilds that can both look familiar and function well while have a smaller piece count and at a migfig scale, too.
Well this age well
Voltron… that is all, thank you.
LEGO released a fully Transforming Voltron almost 6 years ago
Great set, a Castle of Lions to go with it would be awesome.
Man this video aged like milk

I'm not personally a Transformer fan and maybe that affects my outlook on this, but to me the Optimus Prime set always felt like a one done with the chance of more 18+ Transformers sets being next to zero.
My apologies to the fans, but in my opinion, WHO NEEDS THIS !@#$?! If there's one thing Lego doesn't need, it's ANOTHER licensed theme!
Without licensed themes, there are no non-licensed themes. Licensed themes bring in money, and helpful pieces that allow non-licensed themes to be developed, and perfected.
Non-licensed themes are important too, because LEGO needs lines of product they don't have to rely on other brand for, in order to support their business and their partnerships.
You can't have one without the other not matter which way you look at it.
This isn't the 90's anymore, and the only reason why it was just non-licensed themes then was because they never considered it, until they were about to go bankrupt without them. Now we're here, the most successful they've ever been.
