Transformers Street-Fighter 2 Crossover toys - yeah, that's right

Your eyes are not deceiving you... the next crossover toys in a long line of weird and unusual from Japan (and occasionally from Hasbro too) will be Street Fighter 2 themed.
Similar to the Star Wars and Marvel Transformers, these are robot versions of the other series characters... but in this case, they don't turn into anything unique from that series - these are just straight recolours of existing (recent) Transformers toys.

There are two 2-pack sets announced, for release in May 2018...
- Small pair (Deluxes) - Ken (TR Hotrod) Vs Chun Li (Gen-14 Arcee) - 8549yen.
- Large pair (Voyagers) - Ryu (TR Optimus) Vs Vega/M.Bison (TR Megatron) - 12,960yen

The scanned page mentions TakaraTomyMall, so they could be TTM exclusives (which usually show up at HK sources as well).

Image is a scan from a recent Japanese Hobby Magazine, which was posted on TFW.

Ok, that Chun Li looks pretty cool! :)

Bizarre, but amusing.

I'm interested in the Chun Li and Ken

More videogame themed crossovers eh. At least these should be better than Mega Drive Megatron and PlayStation Optimus, I wasn't a fan of those moulds in the end.

While this is a good excuse for me to get the TR/lg hotrod release finally (still happy with the classics version of hotrod) I am concerned these are just straight up redeco's.

I must say their decision to use gen arcee as chun li was purely based on the legs alone and there is nothing wrong with that lol, I just hope they come with some other incentive for purchase, other than some goofy little comic explaining why all this is happening

Updated first post with clearer, unwatermarked scans, from TFW... and corrected the Voyager moulds used, being Optimus and Megatron, not Octone and Blitzwing (which do have minor mould differences).

Agreed. The rest are decidedly average - especially Ryu

This is way outside my radar but I am impressed with the M. Bison head paintwork, and Chun Li.

As hilarious as these are, I have to commend Takara on always having snazzy paint

I think they are great. I used to play with Street Fighter figures with my Transformers as a kid and use Lego as their bases. Definitely picking these up.

I saw this on FB this morning and assumed it was someone's custom 😂
I might actually be tempted by these...hmmm..

10/10 will buy Chun Li! If anything just for the hilarity factor :D

As a long time Street Fighter fan/player these are definitely intriguing...

kind of wish they'd just stuck to the deluxe size figures though...

Maybe time to go re-watch the Street Fighter movie? Uh, maybe not. :p

These have now been added to the TakaraTomyMall site, with pre-orders starting in about a week (for a May release).

The small pair can be seen here.

The large pair can be seen here.

Kylie Minogue as Cammy was still better than Holly Valance as Christine in the Dead or Alive flick ;)

Interesting to see they still have faction symbols on them with Ken, Ryu and ChunLi as Autobots and Bison as a Con.

Bison is growing on me - wouldn’t mind him and Chunners but the others have zero appeal for me.

The Streetfighter Live Action Movie was rubbish IMO...

The Animated one based on SFII was pretty decent and worth another watch :D

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114563/

'Member the GIJoe repaints as Street Fighter characters from 24 years ago? Why has it taken Transformers so long?

And yeah the animated movie was the superior. This reminds me I never saw that more recent Chun-Li film.

A little sad to think that for an as an acomplished an actor as Raul Julia, this was his final film.

Re: The Chun Li film - worth watching if want to see clearly the ravages of drugs and time on a former teen star (some bloke from the American Pie films)

I definitely have to cheer the Chun Li figure just like cheering the anime SF movie.

Why are Chun Li's legs so much darker than her arms?

The SF movie was on the TV the other night. It was as bad as I remember it.

Because Chun Li's legs aren't bare skinned.

These appear to have been released now, and a large gallery of photos of these four toys can be seen here, in and out of packaging.

that packaging with the characters in special move poses looks amazing lol
that is something that I could see being left as MISB
