Hot on the heels of the Transformers x G.I. Joe Bumblebee A.W.E. Striker x Lonzo is another crossover we did not see it coming, the Transformers Collaborative: Tonka Mash-Up, Tonkanator. The Tonkanator is essentially a Tonka version of the G1 Devastator.
The original Devastator has 6 generic construction vehicles, namely, a front-end loader, a mobile crane, a bulldozer, a dump truck, a cement mixer, and an excavator. However, with the Tonkanator, the vehicles aren’t generic vehicles anymore.
Transformers-Tonka Mash-Up features Tonka’s Mega Dozer, Power Digger, Motorload, Skyhook, Mega Hauler, and Motomix.
Like the original toy. Each vehicle is a triple changer that can convert between three modes: robot, vehicle, and combine mode. For this special mash-up, the Devastator is presented in classic yellow deco inspired by Tonka construction toys and features a packaging inspired by the original 80s packaging.
Each set comes with 2 launchers, 4 missiles, and 8 blaster accessories, along with 6 sticker sheets to customize the figures.
The Transformers Collaborative: Tonka Mash-Up, Tonkanator is, unfortunately for some, a Target exclusive. Limited quantities were offered through Hasbro Pulse as pre-orders but they were all spoken for.
At this point, you can only pre-order the US$104.99 toy from Target. The toy is expected to hit the shelves on December 01, 2022.
