Ken Masters
From MediaWiki
Ken (ケン) is an American martial artist and Ryu's best friend. Having trained at the same dojo, Ken and Ryu share many of the same fighting techniques, including the Hadōken, Shōryūken, and Tatsumaki Senpūkyaku, though Ken favors speedier strikes over Ryu's slower, more powerful attacks.
Street Fighter II x Transformers packaging story
Having followed Optimus Prime to Ken's world, Hot Rod scanned Ken to learn his fighting techniques. The two of them formed a bond, with Ken treating Rodimus much like a younger brother. Packaging bio
Toys
Street Fighter II × Transformers
- Available as part of the exclusive Street Fighter II × Transformers toyline, Hot Rodimus is a redeco of Legends Targetmaster Hot Rodimus (itself a retool of Titans Return Deluxe Class Hot Rod) in Ken's traditional colors, luxurious eyebrows and fleshtones and all. He transforms from robot to Cybertronian sports car and back. The Headmaster's robot mode is also painted to resemble Ken.
- Like all Deluxe-sized Titans Return toys, Hot Rodimus's cockpit can be opened to reveal a seat that allows any Titan Master/Headmaster figure to man it in both modes. His two rifles can be clipped together to form a larger gun with a Headmaster seat; separately they can be pegged behind Hot Rodimus's front wheels or one can be pegged into his engine.
- Hot Rodimus was only available in a two-pack with with Arcee [Chun-Li]. This set was available for pre-order on TakaraTomy Mall from November 22 to 27, with orders fulfilled in late May of 2018. A pre-order goal was set as well: if 3000 units were pre-ordered total, the set would also come with clear display stands for both toys.
Notes
- Outside of Transformers, Ken (along with Ryu) appears in Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. series alongside Snake and Simon.
