Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails Become Transformers Toys

Sega and Hasbro announced that there will be a new crossover between the Sonic the Hedgehog series and Transformers that results in Sonic and Tails joining the toy line. They will be available together in a $49.99 set in Summer 2025, with pre-orders available through Hasbro Pulse Premium and Target at 10am PT/1pm ET on December 10, 2024. 

Both the Sonic and Tails Transformers characters will be able to transform into vehicles present in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Each one is five inches tall. Both also come with weapon accessories to wield. 

Sonic is referred to as the Blue Booster. When in the car form, it looks like the Speed Star car the character uses in both the Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing and Sonic Racing series. Hasbro and Sega noted it requires 27 steps to shift between a humanoid shape and a car, or vice versa.

Here’s how Sonic will look:

Tails  is referred to as the Wingtail figure. People can change him into a plane. That ends up looking like the red version of the Tornado that first showed up in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It takes a few more steps to become a plane, as you need to make 32 moves for that to happen.

And this is what Tails will look like:

Hasbro and Sega also shared detailed images of both together with us:

This is the second recent game crossover announced involving Transformers. Back in September 2024, Capcom confirmed there would be a Monster Hunter collaboration. The character represented there is Rathalos, with the ensuing figure being Rathalos Prime.

The Sonic the Hedgehog Transformers toys will launch in Summer 2025. You need to go through Hasbro Pulse Premium or Target for the set.
