Code Red is an Autobot from Stranger Things (via Collaborative).
I ordered "Mountain Dew Code Red", not "Autobot Code Red"!

If you need your pizza—or firepower—delivered in 30 minutes or less, you can count on Code Red to deliver it HOT to your door!<ref>Transformers Collaborative Stranger Things x Transformers Code Red product description on Hasbro Pulse, 10/27/2023</ref>

Transformers Collaborative Code Red 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 Stranger Things. Despite his compact vehicle mode, he unfurls into a Voyager Class-sized robot.
Code Red includes an axe and spiked bat (respectively inspired by the ones wielded by Stranger Things characters Joyce Byers and Steve Harrington) to wield in robot mode, which can store on the sides of his backpack and peg onto either side of his vehicle mode. The axe and bat can also be joined together at the handle ends to make a larger two-ended weapon. The detachable decorative roof light of Code Red's vehicle mode can be converted into a blaster, capable of either being wielded by hand or mounted on the side of either shoulder when in robot mode, 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 onto either of his melee weapons or slot into the top of his blaster.

Code Red was unveiled during San Diego Comic-Con on July 21, 2023. On October 27, that year's 1027 Hasbro Pulse Premium Event video properly revealed him as a Target exclusive (with limited quantities on Hasbro Pulse), with pre-orders starting later that day for a ship date of November 26.

Notes

[edit]
  • 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, "try before you deny".
