Using a headmaster would work perfect so Jason could pilot Sophia. Good call on Hardhead.

I'd sell someone's first born for a Sophia Transformer - official or not

Dangit, why you tease me with such ideas

hmmmm..... maybe I have a use for Quake now

You could probably do a Necro repaint for the Titan Master. That would probably be the closest existing match for Jason's suit. Expensive repaint, though.

Dosent look like it; as far as i can tell it is the megatron/Doomshot head with very specific paint aplications to be evocative of M bisons cap. Looking at the others, with the exception of ken because we cant see the face, none of the heads are remolded, theyre just using very specific paint applications.

I bet there's this and i'm hoping for these characters (I do love Street Fighter, Guile is my favorite).
Guile's gonna be the Hardhead Repaint, i'm sure of it (and SONIC BOOM)
Balrog..... think of a redecoed Alpha Trion?
Blanka.... my guess would be Skullsmasher repaint
I'm not sure what will Zangief and Sagat be.... i'm just hoping they'll come next year




That Vega/M.Bison though :

If has been working on this, in addition to what their plans are for PotP. I can be indifferent, it's fine. If they have been working on this instead of their plans for PotP...

Awesome, not a fan of ken being smaller than Ryu tho it seems a weird thing to have voyager sized figures for a cross over in the first place, and these voyagers are must haves for me. Chun li lacking a titan master is disappointing but the legs make up for it and I think Takaras managed to find a way of making me have another hotrod figure!

With the figures not having to be purely Titan master figures (tho it's probably just from takara legends figure sculpts) or repaints of the same mold (eg Ken, Ryu, Akuma being the same figure) it could make for some interesting choices if there is more of these down the line....Fattimus Prime = E.Honda

I think I played Street Fighter II... once. I'm kinda getting some flashbacks to the Star Wars toys, except these look to be good molds. Molds that I won't be buying this time 'round.

For those unaware, this M. Bison toy is labeled as "Vega" since that's what he's known as in Japan.

Fellow Seibertronians steals_your_goats and Sammythekat have reached out to us with some additional, clearer images (though not that much in resolution) of the Transformers X Street Fighter II figures that we cover in our previous news story here!

As you can see in the image below, we finally get a clearer look at Ken's Takara Tomy Legends Hot Rod reuse (plus the Hasbro Titans Return guns), and the Titan Master does indeed remain the same just with a new paint job, highlighting those trademark luscious eyebrows and golden locks, and how the set including him and Arcee as Chun-Li will see a May 2018 release for a current price of 8640 Yen (76 USD at the time of writing). As for the M.Bison vs Ryu set, on the other hand, the price is 12960 Yen, or approximately 115 USD. We should be finding out more about pre-orders and details for the four figures in December, so stay tuned!

Covered in the original post, dear

And those sets will indeed be TakaraTomy Mall exclusives, according to the very end of the page.

I didn't even realize this was on the bucket list of things that might be cool to get. This has been checked off the list now!

Ryu doesn't seem to have a mouth...

All thanks to his keeping Optimus Prime's face.

Fighting Stance were added because Street Fighter


















Annd another Pre-order (3,000) reach with free stand:

Via a notification from fellow Seibertronian Albatross250, we found the original source of a batch of original images for the recently revealed Transformers X Street Fighter II figures - and we didn't have to go far, as it's indeed via TakaraTomyMall! The listings show both sets as originally reported on our previous newspost here, including the same price of around 115 USD for the Bison (Vega in Japan, as we first pointed out) and Ryu set, and 76 USD for the Chun Li vs Ken set, but also include a whole lot more images, from the Titan Masters in both head and tiny robot mode, the various alt modes for all four figures, and some new added fight positions, including the Hadouken, Shoryuken, and Chun-Li's Hyakuretsu Kyaku and Spinning Bird Kick, and if you squint with your imagination, Bison's Psycho Crusher, too.

In addition to all that, we also have another pre-order campaign goal, with a threshold of 3000 for the figure stands to be included with the sets. Images also included below, so take a look!

Hm ... even odder is that Arcee is the Generations version and not the Titans Return version to go with the other figures. Hm.

So, Vega/Bison, now that you possess a giant tank/jet/robot body, are you going to use it to take over the world?

I never understood the big fascination with Street Fighter, probably because I was more of a Mortal Kombat guy.

That being said ... Chunli does look pretty impressive.

Now I need them to do Zangeef as Broadside so I can have him be like "QUICK, CHANGE THE CHANNEL!"

I think its for those thighs (no joke)



Speaking of Chun-Li, that is the only toy I would have deduced was street fighter themed if these pics were presented to me without context. I would not have thought of that for the rest.

i think a transformers/mortal kombat crossover would be way better

i think they are cool but Chun-Li's legs would look better all blue though

I'm not gonna lie, but I'm going to take a hard pass on this. I'm not a big fan of Transformers tying in with other media.

I will say, though, that Arcee as Chun-Li works AMAZINGLY well.

I'm more into Killer Instinct and One Must Fall

And someone knows his way around Street Fighter. Impressive!

I'm ok with this.
