In recent years, we've seen Hasbro unleash several pop culture crossovers between the Transformers franchise and other popular movies and shows. But now the company is revealing its strangest pop culture mash-up yet. Literally. IGN can exclusively reveal the first photos and details for the Transformers x Stranger Things Freakwency and 8-Trax set.
This new collaboration is inspired by Stranger Things' upcoming fifth and final season. Freakwency is a new character modeled on the WSQK van driven by Millie Bobby Brown's Elle and the gang in the show, while 8-Trax transforms from an 8-track tape to a hawk. Check out the slideshow gallery below for a closer look at this intriguing new set:
Freakwency is a 6-inch robot who transforms into van mode in 16 steps, while 8-Trax transforms between tape and hawk in 8 steps (and can also fit inside Freakwency's chest while in tape mode). This set also includes a blaster accessory for Freakwency that can transform into a rubber chicken.
The Transformers x Stranger Things Freakwency and 8-Trax set is priced at $57.99 and will be available exclusively through Target. Preorders are open on the Target website now.

In other Stranger Things news, the creators are teasing that Season 5 will answer a long-standing mystery that dates back to Season 1. Season 5 arrives over three years after the finale of Season 4. For more, check out the burning questions we still have from Stranger Things Season 4.
