Transformers toys - Help!

[Christmas101]

DS is 8 and completely loves his Optimus Prime birthday gift. I am trying to find similar for Christmas but it's like wading through treacle. I want the other characters with the same complexity - I know this toy was around the £50 mark and has around 15/20 steps to transform. I have found a similar looking Bumblebee but it's more like £90 - I don't know if that is the same range plus HGV tax?!

I know this sounds useless but I am not normally bad at all this sort of thing and I am perplexed. The toys on Amazon seem to jump from £25 to £90 and I just don't want to get one that is either too simple or too complex. He is a very mechanically minded 8 year old. Very competent at building things.

And yes I have asked the person who bought it and she said she would get back to me but life has obviously got in the way and I don't want to hassle her although I will next week by when they will all have sold out Tbh I think she is similarly flummoxed.

Help me MN Christmas people - you're my only hope!

TIA

There's this bumblebee one at Smyths toys www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/action-figures-and-playsets/transformers/transformers-cyberverse/transformers-toys-bumblebee-cyberverse-dinobots-unite-roll-n%e2%80%99-transform-bumblebee-action-figure/p/198966 there's different ranges you can get but this should fit the bill.

DS has grown out of them now but didn't seem to mind which range he had, he was more bothered about the character.

Thanks! That does look great but I think it's only a few steps to convert it. It says 6+ too so I think it would be too easy - I am looking for a more complex toy that's a bit more of a challenge.

It's so hard to find them!

This one? 26 steps and for 8 years plus! www.thetoyshop.com/action-toys-figures/action-figures/Transformers%3A-War-for-Cybertron-Trilogy-Playset-/p/550957

Ooh yes that looks good.

I was hoping there would be some magic range of all the characters in the same sort of complexity but it doesn't seem to exist. So weird!

Thanks for your help

No it's really weird, they tend to just focus on certain characters for each range. The only way we found multiple characters for a series was through the little blind bags they did but those vehicles are tiny, each one only two steps.
