Transformers toys - Help!

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!

It would help to know the exact name of the Optimus he got. Even better with pictures. This way, we would be able to help much more effectively.

A picture is worth 1000 words. If you can post one, we can more easily identify the figure and by extension the line it comes from.
