Yes, the eyes light up. That is not a drill. The bucket, which mimics the robot in disguise that towers over Transformers: The Ride 3-D, Optimus Prime’s full G1 robot form with his signature red and blue with silver detailing, and when those hexagonal blue eyes glow, this thing looks less like a snack container and more like a collectible you are actively choosing to put popcorn in. It comes with a Transformers lanyard, making it wearable around the park if you want to commit to the bit fully.
The signage in-store calls it out as a Park Exclusive, and the collectible is marked with the Universal Studios badge to confirm it. Supply Vault sits inside the Transformers area of Universal Studios Florida and carries the full lineup of Autobots and Decepticons merchandise, making it the natural home for a bucket this unhinged and wonderful.
At $34.99 with a free first fill, the price is right in line with what Universal charges for its premium collectible buckets. Refills are available throughout the park at standard popcorn cart pricing. If you are the kind of person who has already bought a Megatron somewhere and needed Optimus to complete the set, your moment has arrived.
