Let's pretend BTR never existed. Not hard to do, really.
With the movie coming up, what do you think the chances of a good Lego/ TF crossover will be? There are some VERY awesome Lego creations out there, and some aren't even that complex, so the concept is entirely feasible.
Are there any legal/licensing/trademark issues anybody can think of that can't be overcome?
I've been wanting this FOREVER. BTR was like a slap in the face to me. |

If not, Hasbro really needs to give up and let the experts do it. A joint venture by both would mean money for both, no? | |

I'd love to see TF Movie Legos. What other movie franchises has Lego done besides Star Wars? |

As for TF movie Legos, they already make them, they are called Bionicles. 
Lego has also done Harry Potter, Spongebob and Batman off the top of my head.

If they could do it right, lego versions of the movie TF's would be awesome. I would definetly consider getting a lego Ratchet if they could do it right. Peace out. Quote:

The main thing on the front of the box was a grey (with blue and red highlights) jet that would easily pass for Starscream. Quote:

It's actually white, and upon putting it together I think it would make a good Jetfire as well.
I bought it with the express intention of rebuilding it into a Starscream TF, but there aren't nearly enough joint parts to pull it off.
It's a very nice kit anyways. It has retractable landing gear, and you pull a lever on the back to extend and retract the wings. | |
