SDCC 13 Exclusive G.I. Joe x Transformers Jetfire Skystriker & Hound V.A.M.P. Box Set

San Diego Comic-Con 2013 Exclusive G.I. Joe x Transformers Mash-Up Box Set by Hasbro - Jetfire Skystriker & Hound V.A.M.P. Vehicles

For the last two years Hasbro has released incredible G.I. Joe x Transformers box sets at San Diego Comic-Con that pay homage to Marvel’s classic 1980s Transformers and G.I. Joe comic book series. Each featured Cobra and Decepticon mash-ups that proved to be some of The Blot’s favorite exclusives of the past few years. Hasbro has announced this will be their last Transformers / G.I. Joe collab release, but they’ve definitely saved the best for last!

For this year’s SDCC release, Hasbro is going with a good guy theme by mashing-up popular Autobots with classic G.I. Joe vehicles. This set includes a G.I. Joe Skystriker featuring the color scheme of Autobot Jetfire and a G.I. Joe V.A.M.P. that has been redecoed to look like Autobot Hound. While these vehicles are cool, the main reason I’d purchase this set is for the action figures! It’s just too bad you can’t purchase them separately.

San Diego Comic-Con 2013 Exclusive G.I. Joe x Transformers Mash-Up Box Set by Hasbro - Ravage, The Baroness, Snake Eyes, Blaster & Bludgeon Action Figures

This San Diego Comic-Con 2013 Transformers x G.I. Joe Box Set also includes Cobra member The Baroness walking the Decepticon mini cassette Ravage! These two figures alone makes this set an instant buy in The Blot’s book. It also includes G.I. Joe Snake Eyes with an Autobot logo on his outfit and a robotic samurai warrior who bears a striking resemblance to Decepticon Pretender Bludgeon. But that’s not all! It also includes Autobot Blaster in his transformed boombox form and a handful of his mini cassette allies. These little add-ons are even cooler than the vehicles they come with!

The San Diego Comic-Con 2013 Exclusive G.I. Joe x Transformers Jetfire Skystriker & Hound V.A.M.P. Box Set can be purchased at HasbroToyShop.com’s SDCC booth #3329 for $99.99. Any remaining stock will be made available online at Hasbro’s online store after Comic-Con.
