Street Fighter Transformers are heading to Japan next year

Robot-Chun-LiThighs

We may be bearing witness to one of the most baffling crossovers since Archie meets The Punisher, as a range of Transformers have been announced that are based on popular characters from Capcom’s legendary Street Fighter series.

Images of the Cybertronian warriors emerged yesterday and caused many ൲a raised eyebrow, with people generally assuming they were fan-cr꧟eations. However, official licensing was confirmed when the action figures then showed up on the official website.

There are four Transformers in the range, based on poster boys Ryu & Ken, strongest woman in the world Chun Li, and massive bastard M. Bison/Vega. All four toys are repaints of currently existing Transformers, rather than original designs. The fighting game icons have been respectively adapted Convoy, Hot Rod, Arcee and — of course — Megatron.

If that isn’t enough, the heads of Ryu, Ken and Bison transform into tiny figures of themselves, to be used as drivers for their vehicular form. Be🧸 sure to hit the gallery belꩲow for a selection of fun images.

The characters will be released in double-packs, with Ryu & Bison priced around $115 and the Ken and Chun pack a slightly cheaper $75. The Street Fighter x Transformers sets are currently a Japan exclusive, scheduled for rele♔ase in M🅘ay 2018.

Now, you may begin your Transformers/Street Fighter puns…
