Expect an announcement shortly
The azure speedster Sonic the Hedgehog has collaborated with numerous famous brands throughout the years, and arguably one of the most anticipated partnerships in this trend is with the robots in disguise, widely recognized as Transformers.
The official Transformers Instagram has already hinted at a brief video showcasing its emblem transforming into a golden ring, featuring the (trademark Sonic sound effect). Additionally, there is a Green Hill-style background.
If that wasn’t convincing enough, there have also been some image leaks circulating online. Discussing Films has shared what seems to be a “first look” at a new Hasbro toy line:
As you can see, there’s a Sonic and Tails Transformer. Sonic transforms into the Speed Star and Tails becomes the Tornado. Sonic Stadium has provided further details about each of the transformations and abilities:
“If these are current and valid, the Speed Star Sonic features an oversized ring shield, while the Tornado converts its additional thruster into a blaster. The latter boasts a remarkable level of detail and fidelity to the classic biplane, with its slender wings morphing into shoulder shields in robot form.”
This Sonic X Transformers collaboration will reportedly be made official very soon, so stay tuned for an update.
