Cool to see Hasbro releasing the Street Fighter figures.
Loving that Tonka inspired Devastator.

Kind of neat though.... so is a Hasbro Devvy reissue possible then?

Was there? Huh, my memory is going I guess. Sorry.
Well these are neat...but I think I can pass on them.
Tonkanator, that is his name (all have new names) is up as are the Street Fighter figures.

I didn't bother with the SF2 bots when they first came out in Japan and won't bother now. The Tonka bot is possibly the most dialled-in "special/crossover" TF I've ever seen...
Both are easy passes.
Those names sure run the full spectrum, don't they? You have Power Digger which I'm willing to believe is the actual name of the vehicle, Mega Dozer and Mega Hauler that sound like someone trying to parody RID2001 names and not quite making it, Motormix and Motorload which are decent, and finally Skyhook, the single best name to come out of Collaborative yet.
what the hell lmao
they seriously just painted devastator yellow and said he's a tonka collab now what the hell
hasbro you fuckin own tonka you can't collab with yourself

I feel like the names are meant to sound vaguely GoBots-y.
I guess it's handy for people that really want a G2 Devastator (but with black parts)?
But man... there's a really good salesperson that convinced Target to take all of these on - or were people really clamoring for those Street Fighter cross-overs (that didn't already import them)?
And related but a question I'd had since those originally came along, shouldn't Ken and Ryu be the same alt-mode with a head swap?

I think Tonkanator (which is conceptually AWESOME) would have jived with me better had he been a repaint of titan Devastator, perhaps using some of the new assets they worked in to make it more interesting. But maybe Target wasn’t hip on an exclusive of that size and cost.
Depending on the packaging, it might be enough to drag a buy from me.

If they had the guts to use legacy Gobots names for some of them, it would go from a 'that's neat' to a 'must buy'. As is, it's neat, but not $130 neat.
Bonecrusher-> Dozer, Long Haul-> Dumper, Hook-> Crane Brain, Mixmaster->Block Head. Only Scrapper and Scavenger don't have direct correlations.
And, I'd buy the M. Bison Megatron if it was sold separately, but not interested in both figures in the set.

I'm givening these a HARD pass, much as I like Street Fighter, those molds just don't really work for the characters, not when much better figures have come out since then, the Yellow Devestator, again, passing
