Only Sqweeks' voice was available without entering the code.
Evergreen/Generation 1
[edit]
- Transformers Easter egg (90g, 2020)
- No known egg was released in 2019, but Top Cau and Lojas Americanas took back the role in 2020 and have been releasing exclusive generic-branded Transformers eggs ever since, under their own kid-focused branch, D'elicce. Every year, two options have been made available.
- Two versions were released in 2020. The bigger one weighed 90g and came inside a relatively large hard plastic handbag based on Bumblebee's evergreen head design.
- Transformers Easter egg (80g, 2020)
- Also available in 2020 was a smaller chocolate egg that weighed 80g and included one random sticker out of four designs featuring characters and logos.

- Transformers Easter egg (90g, 2021)
- 2021 also saw two options available. The large one, again weighing 90g, came with a popcorn bucket of cutesy proportions based on either Generation 1 Bumblebee or Optimus Prime.
- Transformers Easter egg (80g, 2021-2026)
- The second option in 2021 was again a small version weighing 80g, this time including one random temporary tattoo out of four designs.
- From this point onwards, this version has been consistently available every Easter, just with changes to the packaging artwork each time. Notably, the 2026 release was the only one not to be exclusive to Lojas Americanas.

- Transformers Easter egg (90g, 2022)
- The 2022 version of the 90g egg included an evergreen Bumblebee car with the robot mode head sticking out of the roof, creating the illusion that Bumblebee is driving himself. The packaging identifies the toy as "Carrinho Bumblebee" (Small Car Bumblebee).
- The toy came with a curved piece attached to its underside to secure the egg in place. Once removed from the packaging, the piece is supposed to be used as an "obstacle" for the car to play with according to a suggestion written in Portuguese and embossed on the piece itself. An Autobot logo is embossed on the other side of the piece.

- The 2023 version of the egg came with an evergreen big-headed Bumblebee robot mode figure that opens in half to reveal the egg inside. The figure is identified only as a "Big Toy" in the packaging and not by the character's actual name.
- This figure was rereleased in 2026 in new packaging and labeled only as a Top Cau product. A small label included in the packaging credits a company called Bamko for developing the figure, and another company called Artigus for manufacturing it directly in Brazil. Surprisingly, this release was not sold through Lojas Americanas, and showed up in other chain stores instead.

- Transformers Easter egg (90g, 2024)
- 2024 saw yet another evergreen Bumblebee big head included with the 90g egg, this time in the form of a lunchbox or something. You can tell they're not even trying anymore.

- Transformers Easter egg (90g, 2025)
- 2025 shook things up a bit by offering an Optimus Prime-themed egg. It came with a single piece of plastic molded after the character's evergreen truck mode with trailer attached, inside of which the egg comes stored. The packaging identifies the toy as "Caminhão Optimus Prime" (Optimus Prime Truck).
- It's unclear if by this point D'elicce has changed its name to Delice, as both spellings are present all around this product.
