Keep Fighting! Make a Future Brighter!
Street Fighter II × Transformers (ストリートファイターⅡ×トランスフォーマー) is a small crossover franchise between Transformers and Capcom's hit video game Street Fighter II, released in celebration of the Street Fighter franchise's 30th anniversary.
The initial two sets of toys were made available for pre-order on TakaraTomy Mall from November 22 to the November 27, 2017, with orders fulfilled in late May 2018. A pre-order goal was set as well: if 3000 units were pre-ordered total, each set would also come with clear display stands for both toys within.
Story
In the year 2005, despite controlling the planet Cybertron, the Decepticons continue to search the universe for new energy resources. During one of these searches, Megatron hears a mysterious voice, which guides him back to Earth and to the royal temple in Thailand. Finding a mysterious white gate there, the voice tells Megatron to pass through, promising him a powerful new energy should he do so. Megatron passes through the gate and emerges on the Earth of another dimension, where Vega, leader of the criminal organization Shadaloo, is battling Ryu, Ken and Chun-Li. Vega reveals himself to Megatron as the source of the voice, and entices him with the potential of an alliance between Shadaloo and the Decepticons, promising to share his Psycho Power with him. Intrigued, Megatron agrees and scans Vega, gaining a new body and imbuing himself with Psycho Power, and Vega disappears.
Having tracked Megatron's location, Optimus Prime follows him through the gate to the Street Fighter world, accompanied by Hot Rod and Arcee. They arrive just in time to see Megatron's new Psycho Power-enhanced body before he too escapes. Knowing Megatron will inevitably try to return to their world and conquer it using his new power, Optimus requests that the other three fighters allow him and his comrades to scan them so that they might become more powerful and challenge Megatron. They agree, and Optimus, Hod Rod and Arcee scan Ryu, Ken and Chun-Li respectively, each taking on new forms. Now, as the battle moves to this new world, the Autobots and World Warriors must unite to save both their dimensions from the Shadaloo/Decepticon threat.
Toyline
Notes
- This is not the first crossover for the Street Fighter franchise with Hasbro properties. In the '90s, a whole sub-line of Street Fighter II action figures was created for the G.I. Joe toyline, then split off into its own line for the 1994 Street Fighter film (which is great; don't let anyone tell you otherwise). In 2016, IDW Publishing published the six-issue Street Fighter × G.I. Joe series, pitting the World Warriors against both Joes and Cobras in a tournament organized by M. Bison and Destro. Sadly, that one isn't canon for the IDW Hasbro Universe.
- To promote the line, TakaraTomy released a promotional video parodying the opening sequence of Super Street Fighter II Turbo, with Optimus Prime taking the place of Akuma.
