Created as a new line of frozen slushies that celebrate the upcoming release of Transforms: The Last Knight, the Sonic Color Changing Slushes are a deliciously branded way to gear up for the new film.

The Sonic Color Changing Slushes come in three different flavors including Megatron, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee that all boast a changing flavor and color. The Megatron option has a clear slush that has been topped with grape, while the Optimus Prime one has [cherry slush and blue raspberry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/replenish-slurpee-mixup-cherry-blue-raspberry) on top and the Bumblebee variety has orange with grape. As the frozen slushies are drank, the [color and flavor will change](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c4-ultimate-energy-frost-collection) as they flavors intermix together.

The Sonic Color Changing Slushes are set to be available for a limited-time only at participating locations, while the Transformers: The Last Knight film is set to hit theaters on June 21.
