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.

Notes
- This is not the first crossover for the Street Fighter franchise with greater 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.
