Merchandise

If you're gonna stand in line for a set of these, best protect ya neck.

Bait x Wu-Tang Clan x Transformers (July 19, 2018)

Part of vinyl manufacturer Bait's Transformers-branded offerings, this set of figurines features Generation One Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, and Soundwave in a "superdeformed" style in the Wu-Tang Clan's black-and-yellow color scheme. The Wu-Tang Clan sigil appears prominently on each figurine, alongside the Autobot & Decepticon sigils. Individual figures were sold for $30, while the set of four was a hundred dolla dolla bills, y'all.

The figurines were available individually or as a box set at Bait's booth at San Diego Comic-Con 2018, or at their retail location in San Diego.

Notes

Extremely long-time members of the Transformers fandom may recall that BotCon 1997 was disrupted to some extent by an individual(s) pulling a fire alarm at the convention hotel in the middle of the night on Saturday. Said hotel was attached to an arena where the Wu-Tang Clan played a show that evening, with fans of the band getting a little... out of hand, and by "out of hand" we mean "extensive property damage to the third floor, they were literally fishing exercise equipment out of the indoor pool the following morning", hence the fire alarm.
In the track "Impossible" from the 1997 album, Wu-Tang Forever, a brief Transformers reference is made at the end of RZA's verse with the lyrics: "A spaceknight like Rom, consume planets like Unicron / Blasting photon bombs from the arm like Galvatron".
Member RZA portrayed the Blind Master in G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
