    Thats a pretty cool Idea, and it REALLY plays up the "Robots in Disguise " thing well.

    We totally need something like that. Nintendo-Transformers Crossover. Mario from a mushroom, Bowser from a tank, Luigi from a warp pipe, Link from a... motorcycle?

    Just as long as they use the boost to get through.

    I would like to see

    5. Road Grader
    4. Sea Plane ie. the Seawind (Not Water Walk from gobots)
    3. A speed boat like the Miss Budweiser
    2. A large office copier machine like what sits next to me.
    1. A P-38 Lightning (No, Bolt from gobots does not count)

    I might end up doing a P-38 one day. I build them as RC aircraft so I am sure I could come up with something.

    So many cars could be great for alt modes: Ferrari F430, Audi Q7, Audi RS4, BMW Z4, BMW M3, BMW M5, Cadillac CTS-V, Chevy Avalanche, Chevy HHR, Corvette ZR-1, Citroën C4, Dodge Cgarger SRT, Fiat Grande Punto, Fiat Panda, Ford Focus ST, Shelby GT500, Ford Focus CC, Jeep Wrangler, etc etc

    I was going to choose cars from every brand, there's just too many cool designs.

    More World War II-based modes (maybe even a few WWI modes, like a British Mark IV tank) would be kewl. Ditto for seaplane(s).

    Perhaps a Limousine. If there's one thing Go-Bots/Machine Robo had, it's a wider variety of vehicle modes.

    Beast mode... fox.

    A remote control Seaspay Hovercraft. That works. And transforms. In the water, by remote control. And could carry other Transformers. Yeah.

    How about a Skystriker and a Cobra Rattler? Those would definitely bridge the gap between Joe fans and TF fans. Jetfire could be the Skystriker and Thundercracker could be the Rattler. Maybe throw in a transforming HISS too.

    Seriously, these toys need to be made, like, yesterday.

    Never gonna happen.

    And really, where would I put it?
    Yeah, it'd be okay. Fourth greatest ever? Nope.
    A battering ram ON a vehicle...yeah, I'd like that. Third greatest ever? Nope.
    Yeah, and then we could have vampire, werewolf, and Frankenstein's monster alt-modes.

    Pass.
    Eh. Just a big fat 'eh.'

    About as big as that Action Force (GI Joe) carrier? Not really any bigger than you're tower idea, I'd buy both if I had the cash/space for them. Never be made though, as imagine the price!

    Definitely not, I had to give up skating to protect my knees and ankles, that would tempt me to try again :lol 

    Love your sig man.

    Yes, yes, yes, yes, two of my favourite characters.

    Thrust SSC, this is a great idea.

    There was a werewolf. Remember Nobel Savage from Beast Machines. There was also a vampire. Lets not forget Nobel Savage's best friend Nightscream. There was also a Frankenstein's Monster. Remember Autobot X from G1 season 2? I always wanted a toy of that and I still need a Nightscream to go with my Nobel Savage.

    There was also a ghost transformer. Starscream, after Galvatron dispatched his physical form. Mirage had cloaking so that takes care of that section.

    ...sure, dude.

    I suppose the Savage bit works. The rest...well, call 'em like you see 'em.

    For this idea to work it would definitely have to be a parts-former. maybe two or three bots' or three part components (ala' Armada Tidalwave) combine to become one huge aircraft carrier.

    I agree with the Lawnmower. I always thought a ceiling fan/chandelier could be a dangerous item. Or maybe a vacuum cleaner,but hey it could suck....
