The issue was in the headers. When using form-data, you have to make sure to pass the headers generated by it to Axios. Answer was found here

headers: bodyData.getHeaders()

Working code is:

const fs = require('fs');
const FormData = require('form-data');
const Axios = require('axios').default;

let file = '/tmp/the-test.png';
var bodyData = new FormData();
let b = fs.readFileSync(file, { encoding: 'base64' });
bodyData.append('image', b);
Axios({
  method  : 'post',
  url     : 'https://api.imgbb.com/1/upload?key=myapikey',
  headers : bodyData.getHeaders(),
  data    : bodyData
})
  .then((resolve) => {
    console.log(resolve.data);
  })
  .catch((error) => console.log(error.response.data));
