Transformers Collaborative Code Red is a Deluxe Class figure that transforms 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 [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Stranger Things|{{#if:||Stranger Things}}]].
Code Red includes an axe and spiked bat to wield in robot mode, which can store on the sides of his backpack and peg onto either side of his vehicle mode. The decorative roof light of Code Red's vehicle mode detaches to become a blaster when in robot mode, capable of either being wielded by hand or mounted on the side of either shoulder, with a 5 mm port included on the barrel intended to be used with the included blast effect part; the blast effect can also peg onto the handle ends of Code Red's axe and bat to turn them into side-mounted guns while in vehicle mode. Finally, Code Red also includes a small Surfer Boy Pizza pizza box, which can peg into the axe or slot into the top of his blaster.
Code Red's packaging, modeled after a Surfer Boy Pizza pizza box, features a number of interesting details. The outer slipcover has a fake sticker printed on the front featuring the (fake) address and phone number for Surfer Boy's Lenora Hills location. 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 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 slipcover with another Ancient Autobot phrase, which simply reads "CODE RED". Inside the box, printed on the cardboard insert, are a partially-eaten pizza and the makeshift sunglasses featured in Stranger Things' Season 4 finale, "The Piggyback", while the actual interior has leftover crust and (thankfully fake) pizza grease printed on it.
Code Red was unveiled during San Diego Comic-Con on July 21, 2023. On October 27, the "Hasbro Pulse Premiums 1027 Event" video revealed it to be a Target exclusive (with limited quantities on Hasbro Pulse), with pre-orders starting that day for a ship date of November 26.

Notes

  • Based on the topping indicators on the front of the box, Code Red prefers pineapple and jalapeño on his pizza, the same topping combination featured in the show. As Argyle would say himself, "try before you deny".
  • As a series heavily inspired by '80s pop culture, it's only natural that Stranger Things tips its hat to Transformers. In the first episode of Season 3, "Suzie, Do You Copy?", one of Dustin's toys brought to life is a Generation 1 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 1985, this means that Dustin somehow got ahold of a Generation 1 Ultra Magnus a year before he was actually released. Oops.
