Transformers x G.I. Joe Bumblebee A.W.E. Striker

Also relating to G.I. Joe is a new toy from the Transformers x G.I. Joe crossover. Joining the Transformers x G.I. Joe Megatron H.I.S.S. Tank on the good guy side is the Transformers x G.I. Joe Bumblebee A.W.E. Striker & Lonzo “Stalker” Wilkinson.

Considering how the A.W.E. Striker is a beach buggy, it really should have been Beachcomber, IMHO. I guess Bumblebee sells better than the little-known Beachcomb. Such is the reality for us.

Anyhoo, like in the cartoon, dear old Bumblebee has a human companion, G.I. Joe Lonzo “Stalker” Wilkinson. Sorry, Spike, Lonzo just knows how to kick butts and you don’t.

Bumblebee converts into an A.W.E. Striker in 21 steps. As a vehicle, it is true to scale to the 1985 A.W.E. Striker toy which Lonzo can interact with it by manning the turret or taking the wheel.

The Transformers x G.I. Joe Bumblebee A.W.E. Striker & Lonzo “Stalker” Wilkinson comes with a cannon and weapon accessories. Like Megatron, it has a packaging inspired by a mash-up of the classic 80s toys with retro artwork while Lonzo “Stalker” Wilkinson is presented in a cardback with a file card.

Unfortunately, pre-orders for the Transformers x G.I. Joe Bumblebee A.W.E. Striker & Lonzo “Stalker” Wilkinson on Hasbro Pulse were snapped up as soon as it was announced earlier today.
