Using the power of google-fu, I found out that apparently it already exists, though under the Kreo brand rather than actual legos:
The chances are very high that he already got this at some point.

Has anyone explained to Chris that most lesbians around his current age aren't into probing deep questions about transforming toys from 1985? I don't have hard facts on the issue, but I would wager that at least 25% of lesbians who are 23 to his current age are turned off by women who like children's toys. Chris is blowing his chances of artificially or naturally (preferred) inseminating a gal-pal.

Seems like he's really focusing on Transformers now.
Didn't he say something in the past of a great concern like.. You know?
Money issues, paying the mortgage, his mothers declining health...?
NAH WHO GIVES A FUCK. ITS ALL ABOUT THEM MOTHERFUCKEN TRANSFORMERS!!!

Chris is letting his mom die without any care because then he gets to play with his Transformers in private and without mommy interrupting at 12 in the morning being like "CHRIS! YOU ARE PLAYING TOO LOUD AND WAKING ME UP!"

There used to be Transformers with a gimmick involving their heads being smaller robots. These were called headmasters. They recently brought the gimmick back, but the head robots are called titan masters this time. It's how Chris was able to put Prime's head on Galvatron to make "Donald trump" The plot reasoning for the robots turning into the heads of other robots has something to do with "increasing their intelligence and power levels"
In short, Chris could really use a Titan Master right now.
Now the reason why he's suddenly claiming Hasbro is "gypping" him when the only real difference between the figures is usually the color schemes, or minor shit like the face sculpt is beyond me. The only exceptions are when there are figure's exclusive to either Takara or Hasbro and it's clearly that's not what he's talking about. There are also rare cases in which the plastic just starts disintegrating on some transformers figures with sparkly plastic and in that case you're shit out of luck whichever company you buy from.
You missed when he was begging for the female combiner and bought Devastator, then again nobody knows where the hell the devastator figure went after he bought it, because it hasn't been visible in any of Chris' videos.

*Transformers sperg mode ACTIVATE!*
Transformers as it was first invented is 100% an American created franchise. Back in 1983, what would become the original 1984 G1 toys were actually two separate lines; Diaclone which were piloted car robots with little drivers (and not sentient, hence why G1 Ironhide/Ratchet infamously have chairs instead of heads), and Microchange which were mainly inanimate objects that turned into 1:1 scale robots (basically Soundwave and his tape goons). Hasbro reps who had gone to Japan negotiated a licencing deal with Takara to sell the two lines in America.
But when they consulted an advertising company - the same one that actually came up with the GI JOE franchise - the company's CEO was the one who came up with the idea of combining the separate lines into a single line pitting only the robots in a battle of good and evil, copying the individual characterization aspect for each toy that made GI JOE so successful. The G1 Autobot and Deception symbols are in fact stylized profile shots of the G1 Prowl and G1 Soundwave toys.
Takara also tried just releasing Diaclone in the west by themselves, but quickly abandoned it in favor of bringing over Transformers to Japan, with numerous changes (Autobots and Decepticons became 'Cybertrons' and 'Destrons', Optimus Prime' was a name thought too hard for Japanese kids to pronounce so he's just "Convoy", etc.).

I'm sure to get Autism ratings for this, but I'll try to descipher what he's blabbing about to the best of my knowledge in this subject.
Now...Chris is wrong about a number of things here.
Primarily, the bit about how the 'Japanese' versions having more features, because all of those gimmick figures (the *masters, in head(duh), target (gun), and power(engine) variants) did get American releases. And while he's trying to draw comparisons to how the headmaster gimmick is the main gimmick of the current Titans Return line, he fails to do his research as the original Headmasters only had the gimmick extend to merely swapping heads to make some spring loaded bars in the chests move differently. The modern figures do not have that gimmick (Hasbro actually tried to modernize it a few years back, execution was not stellar so they abandoned it), so the head swapping was turned into the actual play pattern of Titans Return - it is very much sorta like Pokemon in the idea having more only increases the fun you can have, between the body headswapping, the smaller figures having convertible gun vehicles (to sell the heads at a smaller price point because the heads on their own actually don't do shit), and the Leader classes feature elaborate base modes to put the army of 'Titanmasters" or so the little figures are called all around.
He's also amusingly ignorant of the major difference between Hasbro and Takara versions of toys for at least the past decade. Here is a comparison of the heads of Hardhead (top row) and Skullcruncher (bottom), the companies already denoted on the left and right - though I should note these are the Takara Prototypes and the Hasbro final production samples, hence the color mismatch.
Yes, Takara's faces - which amount to a single part change on the heads, the rest of the toy is identical in either example - are more cartoon accurate, but Hasbro's Hardhead is toy accurate, while their Skullcruncher is a super-stylized version of the original toy head as well.
Why Chris even gives a shit about this is beyond me, though, because beyond the animated commercials I highly doubt Chris would have even SEEN the Headmasters cartoon the Takara faces are from. Because it didn't get mass western syndication and if I'm right, Chris was only age 5 in 1987 when the Headmasters came out in the first place to shelves. Is this his autism acting up again, where the same guy has two different faces and he's simply taking what he finds online to be the truth (since everywhere of relevance would state the Takara version is the cartoon accurate faces)? The same situation as 'blue arms' Sonic being impossible to comprehend as simply a different look for the same character? Because the only way I understand Chris thinking this is confusing is if the two faces can not simultaneously be 'correct' for different reasons.

I feel like #Autisticmanbabies are crooks gypping weens out of goods and or services
So kind of him to look out for your tax dollars.
Never stop being a hypocrite, Chris!
Chris is just sperging because his day at pride probably did not go as expected with lesbians just dropping their panties every time he walked by.
Just like the medallion from last year, I am sure that the gays steered clear of Chris after he tried to show off his plastic ponies holding hands to true and honest lesbians.

I don't know, ask Michael Bay.
He does own some of them. That's where his shitty non-Lego looking figure of himself comes from.

Only TRUE and HONEST AMERICAN ingenuity could turn Takara's cheap Jap trinkets into an All-American worldwide phenomenon, brother!

I mean, the "being gypped" qualifier was necessary.
