**''Accessories:'' axe, bat, Surfer Boy Pizza roof light/shoulder-mounted blaster, pizza box, [[Fire Blast effect]]

: Code Red is a figure from the ''[[Transformers Collaborative]]'' line, transforming from robot to an officially-licensed Volkswagen vanagon, specifically the customized "Pizzamobile" used by Surfer Boy Pizza delivery drivers in the [[Netflix]]-produced science-fiction/horror series {{w|Stranger Things}}. At a glance, he appears to be a ''heavy'' retool of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Ironhide]], sharing mostly the same engineering, but utilizing entirely new parts otherwise.

: Code Red includes an axe and bat to wield in robot mode, plus a small Surfer Boy Pizza-branded pizza box likely intended to be stored inside his vehicle mode. The decorative roof light of Code Red's vehicle mode detaches to become a shoulder-mounted blaster when in robot mode, with a 5mm port included on the barrel intended to be used with the included blast effect part.

: Code Red's packaging is modeled after a Surfer Boy Pizza pizza box, which is ''incredibly cute''. The fake sticker on the front of the box features the Lenora Hills location's address and a fake phone number (755 38-PIZZA). If Hasbro were ''really'' going for source accuracy, they could've used the phone number actually used in ''Stranger Things'' ((805) 457-4992), which is a ''real phone number'' that you can call to receive a pre-recorded message from Argyle, one of the show's characters. Also printed on said "sticker", underneath Code Red's name, is a phrase written in [[Cybertronian language#Real-life alphabets|Ancient Autobot]] that reads "DELIVERED HOT TO YOUR DOOR", which is Surfer Boy Pizza's tagline. There's another fake sticker printed on the back of the box with another Ancient Autobot phrase, which reads... "CODE RED". Hmm.

: Code Red was unveiled during [[San Diego Comic-Con#2023|San Diego Comic-Con]] on July 21, 2023. He is set to release sometime in late 2023, with no retailer information known as of yet.

==Notes==
* As a series ''heavily'' inspired by 80's pop culture, it's only natural that ''Stranger Things'' has already tipped its hat to ''Transformers''. In the first episode/"chapter" of Season 3, "Suzie, Do You Copy?", one of Dustin's toys-brought-to-life is a G1 [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Ultra Magnus]] figure, which has been slightly modified (by way of tape) to add a set of motorized wheels underneath his robot feet... however, as Season 3 is set in 198''5'', this means that Dustin somehow got ahold of a G1 Magnus a year before he was actually released. Oops.
