Pretty good lookin figure, but I dunno if this was a crossover anyone was looking for. Maybe it's just me but This doesn't feel like super iconic vehicle to get this kind of treatment.

As has been said, Stranger Things is one of the biggest shows in recent years (one themed entirely around 1980s nostalgia, no less), and there's really no other vehicle choice from that show to make into a Transformer besides this one, which featured heavily in the most recent season as of this typing.

I got my Code Red in. He is actually a pretty decent figure. I like how tall he ends up being, and his VW pizza van mode is cool. I like him, especially that face sculpt and pizza sign cannon with pizza box clip.

I ultimately set him with the Ghostbusters, felt like he belonged there, along with a few other solo outcasts of mine

I am actually really enjoying Code Red. I like the creativity here, and he is proving to be a fun figure. Definitely one of the better quality crossover figures

New Reveal: Transformers x Stranger Things "Freakwency and 8-Trax" Collide for Stranger Things Day!

November 6 is Stranger Things Day, the date that marks when Will Byers first vanished into the Upside Down and kicked off a pop culture phenomenon that continues to unite fans around the world. To celebrate the occasion, and ahead of the fifth and final season of the hit Netflix series, Hasbro has revealed an all-new Transformers x Stranger Things Collaborative crossover: Freakwency and 8-Trax.

Inspired by the mysterious WSQK van seen in the official teaser for the upcoming season, Freakwency converts from a 6-inch robot into van mode in 16 steps. His companion, 8-Trax, transforms from 8-track tape to hawk mode in 8 steps and can store inside Freakwency's chest while in tape mode. Even the included chicken accessory converts into a blaster in 6 steps.

Nice! But at that price, I do hope the main bot is at least a voyager.

Don't wanna get hit by that rubber chicken And the bird being an 8-track, would that make him Laserbeak's and Buzzsaw's ancestor?

If you have Target Circle and have not used their 25% off one toy offer that expires in the next week or 2, this may be something worth using it on. I didn't use mine yet and also had enough circle rewards $$$ to get this at no cost.
