Bait will be bringing their Transformers 4.5 Inch vinyl collab figures to SDCC with another collab on top – the Wu-Tang Clan! Sporting the iconic black and gold Wu-Tang is known for, Optimus Prime, Megatron, Soundwave and Bumblebee will all feature the Wu logo as well. The set will sell for 100 dollars, or 30 a pop. They’ll be available at the Bait booth (#5645) in the show or at their store on 920 5th Ave throughout the event.

No way Optimus Prime or Bumblebee should be wearing a WuTang Label. I wish they made a Decepticon only line. It only makes sense to me. Maybe Bee and Prime can get a Tribe called Quest repaint lol.

Damn, I kinda want that Bumblebee…

Liquid Swords is a classic. To me it's one one of the top Wu-Tang efforts.

Even tho he doesn’t have the charismatic mic presence of his Wu brethren, GZA’s first album has some of the best RZA production of the entire Wu era …

I'm a sucker for black repaints and wutang is cool so I'm interested in at least one of these. Any chance I'll be able to get them online for a reasonable price?

I love "Triump," but nothing beats the raw grittiness of Enter the 36 Chambers.

Word … best protect ya neck! (anyone else think ‘Triumph’ is one of the best rap tracks of all time!??) … bomb atomically

I am feeling all 36 chambers from these figures.

Thats what I read. Hopefully whoever obtains it will find a legal way to void the RZAs stupid 80 year (I think) contract that they cant reproduce it. Like maybe because they never officially signed a contract with RZA and bought it through a 3rd party. That would be awesome.

They are in talks with the government to get the album back since.it was seized

I was never interested in these but they just had to Wu Tang style them up! Now I’m tempted to get them…
Wu Tang forever…..

If I were a good painter I'd do a custom of it.
After TF/Street Fighter, it wouldn't surprise me.

The core albums are all classics. But as the years went by, the RZAs production style got redundant. I hope one day we get to hear that million dollar album RZA sold to that crooked pharmaceutical guy a few years back.

Online availability?

I like the the rest of the wu, but yeah shit got a little off once ODB died, no doubt.
Optimus Convoy
I just might get these. Wu-Tang is forever!
Omegax80
I guess, I just have a hard time seeing the draw.

Maybe completists? Resellers?
I dunno.
MrSoundmeister
Hmmm, maybe music and hip-hop fans that also like Transformers? Musicians do like them some Transformers.

Sort of in line with @Omegax80's post above, and this is a serious question: who is the target market for this?
(I'm not upset, just confused!!)
