Redecos, Assemble!
While the spirit of Marvel Crossovers has apparently carried on into Top Spin and Twin Twist-style toys in The Avengers line-up, it appears the bigger toys aren’t quite dead yet. Thanks to three eBay listings, we now know the line will be returning (at least momentarily) as the Transformers: Mech Machines subline for The Avengers toyline. It is unknown what the distribution, release date, or price for these new releases at this time.

The combined form for Iron Man and Warmachine kind of suggest an X-Jet a little bit, the First Iron Man toy looks a little like an 80's Quinjet.
I'll just say again though I really wish they'd make a female character mould even if it's only just the one type.
If they are worried about selling it to little boys then only place it in twin packs or short pack it.
Also Some villan are an essential The crossovers line is one of those lines that just seems to encourage armchair quarter backing though.
As Marvel it may need :
1) Woman : Mystique, Lady Thor, Iron Woman, Susan Richards, X23, & Rogue would be nice)
2) Villans : Doctor Doom, Abomination, Crusher Creed, The Rhino, Doc Oc, Mandarin, The various Goblin derived characters and a generic or two
3) Some complete repaints : Not all repacks (if they much keep using the old moulds) Like U.S. Agent for example.
4) Some more X-Men characters.
5) release missing moulds like The Thing, the other Human Torch, The Punisher,
As St
ar Wars it needs.
1) More Woman (so far there's only one): Leia, Mara Jada or Jaina Solo, or a Twilik Jedi or a few others would be nice.
2) More Original Trilogy Vehicles like A-Wing, B-Wing, Sand Crawler, Land Speeder, Sentinel Shuttle
3) Beasts : Like a Dewback
4) Neat robot mode designs like a Clone Trooper for example.
5) More expanded universe vehicles/characters like Starkiller, Dash Rendar-into-Outrider, SkipRay blast boat, various obscure Tie fighters. like a chis claw fighter into Jag Fel
6) I don't mind if the do a couple more Jedi out of the starfighter mould but I wish they'd stop reissuing Anakin and Obiwan so much and maybe release the twilight again instead.
[edit]
I'm rather envious of those who own Ghost Rider, or Dozer Hulk.
I mentioned Spider-Armor as seen in the Animated Series as its a specific design and so as to not confuse it with the stark Armor design or innumerable toy specific ones as was shown much later. I'm not so knowledgeable about comic to trot of issue numbers on them though – heck I can't even recall if I've read Web of Spider-Man #100, But that Armor is something that sticks in my mind from the TV show more than it does from a blink and you miss it comic appearance.
webz
Even more noteworthy is the fact that the Spider-Armor isn't originally from the animated show, it appeared in the comics in the early 90's for a small storyline… Web of Spider-Man #100, where it was promptly destroyed by acid, but was enough to make it part of the cartoon, as well as several video games.
The Venom muscle car looked fine, but the carnage repaint looked horrible. Villains I would love to see would be a Doom stealth bomber. Thanos as a rocket-launcher tank. Wrecking Crew Constructicon combiners. TONS of possibilities.
Same here. Ghost Riderformer was keeping the shelves toasty warm for quite a while. Not surprising, since I never liked any attempt to make a Ghost Rider toy. Most toys of characters who are on fire never come out looking right.

I believe all their worldly goods, especially their children, but alas it was still meant to end in failure.
racnruin
Pass on Iron Man all ready have that mold Getting Cap and Thor : Didn't pic them up when they were originally released
netkid
Borders sold Transformers toys?
What else did they sell for toys?
Optronix1087
Y'know there are no more Borders right?
Autobot Burnout
I'd like to know where you can find a Borders at all. Didn't they go belly up some time ago?
Damn you! I want that Hulkdozer so bad!
netkid
The x-Jet should be a combiner, like have it split apart into beast and cyclops.
What other ideas can we cook up???
Mastermold -> Sentinels
Giant Apocalypse -> Apocalypse & Mr. Sinister (^remold)
Fantasticar -> all 4 Members of the Fantastic 4
Robotic Lion -> Kraven the Hunter
Robotic Cat -> Sabertooth (^remold)
Flying wing -> The Green Goblin on his glider(from part of the flying wing)
Flying Wing -> Hobgoblin (^remold)
ULTRON -> Some other form of ULTRON
Yeah, this line could REALLY benefit from villains.
Mrvash104
the only one i want is thor cuz i missed out on him last time
Lumpy
I liked this line, I hope they rerelease the Hulk tank, as that's the one i missed and always wanted… I vaguely recall winning one on eBay, now that I think of it, but i think i got outbid…
SMOG
Complexity and detail-wise, they're not that bad. They're around where Cybertron and Classics figures were before the Movies came out.

Huh. They are 'simpler' than I was led to believe. Oh well. They're still a cool concept and look like something that everyone could enjoy.
Plus, they need to come up with more characters like that. "Blade Stealth Fighter", "Abomination Monster Truck", "Black Widow Spider (GENIUS!!1!)/Helicopter", "Professor X Wheelchair"… Okay, so my ideas aren't that good. But someone out there can make 'em work!
SMOG
Right! I'm pretty sure the Cap Hummer is decidedly BIGGER than Prime Bulkhead. He's one of the heftier Crossovers, after the Hulks.
Voyagers range in size of course… from dainty Highbrow all the way up to giants like Cybertron Vector Prime. In general, Marvel Crossovers lean closer to Voyagers than Deluxes. The Star Wars ones are a bit smaller though.
As for complexity… I spent like, an HOUR trying to get the Crossovers Venom back into car mode (without instructions). That thing is a mess. I think I prefer the simpler ones.
zmog
megatroptimus
Oh really?
And I'm pretty sure Captain America is as big as Prime Voyager Bulkhead.
As for complexity, it varies from figure to figure. Plus, we've gotten 1-2-3 Voyagers like Vector Prime and Crumplezone before, so your point is moot.
GAUGE
all of these will end up at Ross and Borders in a month at 7.99 just be patient. Hell, you can still find Ironman 2 crossover stuff there at that same price..

Fantastic!
