Fiction

Collaborative marketing material

Wingtail and Blue Booster's escape pod left Cybertron before crash-landing in the Green Hill Zone. As the pod opened, the two Autobots scanned a pair of nearby vehicles to take on as their new alternate modes, with Wingtail taking the form of Tails' biplane. After enjoying speeding through the terrain for a while, the two transformed into robot mode, gave each other one more last fist bump, then transformed back into alt-mode and sped off to parts unknown.

Collaborative

• Wingtail & Blue Booster (Multi-pack, 2025)

• Accessories: Engine thruster/blaster, blue fire effect part
• Known designers: Brian Parrish (Hasbro)

Collaborative Wingtail is based on Tails, the genius twin-tailed fox from the Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise, and transforms into the games' iconic Tornado biplane (based on its appearance in more recent games like Sonic Frontiers) in 32 steps. The engine thruster attached to the bottom of the alt-mode acts as a blaster in robot mode, with a fiery blue blast effect completing the look in either mode.

Though not intended for removal for transformation, Wingtail's wing assemblies are not permanently affixed to the figure and merely held on with 5 mm posts, making them being prone to popping off while handling the figure, possibly done for safety reasons.

Wingtail and his pack-in buddy Blue Booster were unveiled at Cybertron Con on December 5, 2024, and were then given a proper announcement the following day. They went up for pre-order as a Target exclusive (with limited quantities on Hasbro Pulse) on December 10, and is scheduled to ship on June 22, 2025, one day before the Sonic franchise's 34th anniversary.

Notes

• Wingtail is far from the first transforming biplane the Sonic franchise has seen — two other versions of the Tornado (the Tornado 2 from Sonic Adventure and the confusingly-named Tornado-1 from Sonic Unleashed) have secondary mid-air combat modes, while the Cyclone from Sonic Adventure 2 transforms into a bipedal combat mech armed with a box-busting Vulcan cannon and powerful laser blaster.
