| First Images of Marvel Crossover Captain America, Carnage, Thor, and War Machine Figures |
| Posted on 10-29-2008 at 02:02 PM by Tim Formas | | In addition to the newest Universe Legends-class figures, the new issue of Previews also has a solicitation for the Wave 3 assortment of the Marvel Transformers Crossover. Wave 3 features the debut of Captain America (Hummer), Carnage (Muscle Car), Thor (Prop Plane), and War Machine (Jet). Previously, these figures have only been seen through concept drawings. This assortment is due out around January 2009.

Its gonna be a pain, but Thor is getting paint and becoming Bad Boy for my classics Gobot shelf. Wolverine might be getting made into Small Foot, have to get on in hand and see. I've got a Starscream getting made into Leader-1 and Oil Slick will be my Cy-kill. The Gobots return  Runamuck:
This is actually not the first images of these toys, but maybe for this site. Anyways, Cappy looks great. As does Thor. Those two might be the first of this line that I buy.
LightningZERO:
Need more villain for this line!
Probably will pick up Thor and Ca. Both looks great. Carnage...meh. Iron Man? Or is that War Machine?
dark69:

The only one I'm interested in is the Wolvy bot.

Sorry if that was confusing, not used to the terminology yet ^^;; | LOL sorry bout that I thought your were calling Human Torch an Ironman repaint (that drives me nuts)
I don't really mind repaints with this series. So far they have kept it to characters that actually have alternate costumes. Heck, I may grab a 3rd hulk and repaint him red. Now if they come out with a Captain America in red white and black and call him US Agent, that'll be pushing it.

I'm not trying to be rabid about this I'm just slightly annoyed at the lack of new molding for such a line, especially when some of these characters (Cap and Carnage) deserve much more than just a re-paint. | I too misunderstood regarding your comments and Human Torch.
However, looking at Wolvie and Cap, I just can't in good conscience call them remolds. They are entirely new figures, with not a single part in common between them (not to mention the placement of Wolverine's wheels and hand transformation would be a giveaway). Sharing a rough transformation scheme doesn't equal a remold, (and especially not a "minor remold"), any more than Jazz is a remold of Hound! To refer to them as such is just, well, misleading and inaccurate.
In any case, Cap and Wolvie both look like great figures, and thoroughly distinct, so I can't see any room to complain there. I'm with you on the repaints except for the fact that since I'm mainly using these for kitbashing, I'll be skipping Iron Man and Hulk and going straight to their more neutral repaints.

NICE!! I love the Thor crossover the best out of all those other figures. Was Carnage just a repaint of Spider-man cuz i couldn't see it very well.  rattrap007:
I may get Cap. But I'll have to see on any others. I've passed on them all so far. None of them appeal to me that much. I think the SW ones are Ok because well they look like SW vehicles. These are the opposite idea. Instead of making the vehicle a robot, they make the marvel character a vehicle. It doesn't work as well in that direction.

The only nice thing I can say about the SW Crossovers is that the vehicle modes are very well done.
The reasons I like these Marvel ones better are:
1. The robot proportions and construction are MUCH more attractive
2. The vehicles are more generic, allowing them to fit in better with the rest of my TFs (as kitbashes).

am I the only one who finds it amusing that Captain America embodies the American spirit by transforming into a Hummer?

Well We have Hulk and Grey Hulk, there's one mold.
We have Spidey and Black Spidey, there's 2
Ironman for the 3rd mold
The Human Torch for 4
and Wolvie for 5
I see a problem with your math.
Also your definition of "remold"
under you definition Cybertron Prime is a remold of G1 Prime. | Venom for 6
