Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog may be over three decades old, but this blue blur is far from irrelevant. It’s not about the video games, though; Sonic’s relevance is marked by three live-action movies, a growing LEGO collection, and now, the ultimate crossover—a Transformers toy.
That’s right, folks, the rumors are true. The Transformers Collaborative Sonic the Hedgehog x Transformers Wingtail and Blue Booster Action Figures are here, joining the ranks of crossovers like Monster Hunters, Star Wars, Naruto, and more.
The set includes two transforming action figures, each a loving nod to Sonic’s iconic vehicles. Blue Booster channels Sonic himself, transforming from robot to car in 27 steps, while Wingtail takes after Tails, converting from robot to biplane in a slightly more complex 32 steps. Both figures stand 5 inches (12.7 cm) tall in robot mode, bringing a compact but fun-sized addition to your collection.
Accessories complete the package: a ring shield and jewel for Blue Booster, and a detachable engine thruster for Wingtail that cleverly doubles as a blaster. The packaging is steeped in Sonic lore, too, evoking the vibrant energy of the franchise’s world.
Here’s the kicker: this collaboration is a Target exclusive with limited quantities on HasbroPulse.com. While exciting, the exclusivity is bound to spark some dismay among collectors—myself included. If you’re eager to snag this crossover, pre-orders are open now, with shipping expected around June 22, 2025. At US$49.99, it’s a speedy deal for Sonic and Transformers fans alike.
