The packaging of the 'G.I Joe/Transformers' mash-up exclusive is even a throwback —it pays homage to a 1980s comic-book miniseries.
An old-school G.I. Joe V.A.M.P. vehicle is retooled in the deco of Autobot cult fave Hound, originally an Army Jeep in the cartoon.
The set stars a G.I. Joe Skystriker with a paint job inspired by the Autobot, Jetfire.
No G.I. Joe set is complete without the resident ninja commando Snake Eyes — this time sporting an Autobot logo on his outfit.
If you're so inclined, you can have the Cobra femme fatale Baroness take Decepticon Ravage out for a walk
The Decepticon character Bludgeon inspired this action figure of a robotic samurai warrior with a skeleton head.
The Autobot Blaster — and his tapes — shows up in the set in his boom-box form. (Kids, ask your parents what a boom box is.)
