Blokees
Blokees (sometimes known as Buluke or Bloks) is a Chinese toy company that produces a range of buildable action figures from different licensed properties including Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Marvel, Naruto, and most relevant here, Transformers.
Their Transformers effort first launched in mid-2023 with the Galaxy Version line of G1-inspired figures which stand around 4 inches tall and are sold in blind boxes. Currently their selection also includes Classic Class, a series of movie-inspired figures at a similar size but with increased complexity and light-up core torso pieces, Shining Version, a line mostly consisting of retools and repaints of Galaxy Version figures but with the addition of a light-up core similar to the Classic Class figures, and Action Edition, a series of larger figures with a similar look, but with greatly increased complexity as well as additional features and accessories, as well as some special releases.
These figures are currently available in some countries outside of China, such as the United States and the United Kingdom.
Galaxy Version
Galaxy Version launched in 2023 and is a series of fairly simple buildable 4" SD (slightly deformed) figures released in blind boxes based mostly on characters from G1 (although later waves have started to branch out into other media such as IDW). Figures come in waves of 9 unique figures, with one figure getting a metallic 'chase' version, and all feature a similar assembly out of the box. Many of the figures share parts to various degrees, although some are almost completely unique. Each figure comes with a pair of extra hands, some weapons, as well as a display base.

Shining Version
Shining Version launched in early 2024, featuring a smaller selection of blind-packed figures per wave built around a similar light-up torso piece as the Classic Edition figures. While initially consisting solely of repaints of Galaxy Version figures with light-up features and additional accessories (some of which were previously available with the chase variants of certain figures), wave 2 appears to include brand new molds- time will tell if these will be released in GV later. These sets also have a 1-in-6 chance of coming with a metallic chase figure.

Exclusive Yearly Version
Released at the end of 2023 seemingly to coincide with the new year, these are a special set of Blokees Transformers featuring repaints of Galaxy Version figures with the light up features and extra accessories of Shining Version but with special metallic gold paint in an homage to the G1 episode 'The Golden Lagoon'. Whether future yearly releases will be in similar golden colours, or be done at all, is yet to be seen.

Classic Class
Classic Class is series of figures that debuted in 2023 alongside Galaxy Version in the same 4" scale and 'SD' style, but this time based on the live action movies and consisting of more expensive and intricate buildable figures with the same light-up feature as Shining Version. At first going heavy on the cast of 'Rise of the Beasts' (the most recent movie as of their release), later waves have branched out into other live action films. Initially some of these figures were released in 2-packs alongside dioramas meant emulate moments from 'RotB', but eventually they did all get standalone releases.
