    The sequel is called Top Gun:Maverick not Top Gun Pete. In the context of the films Maverick is understood to be Pete Mitchell and vice versa. After all the point of a call sign is to identify a specific individual.

    It makes perfect sense to use his call sign for the robot, but it’s still named after the main character of Top Gun. At the end of the day though it’s not important enough of a distinction for me waste any more time on it. I don’t care what they’re called or why, I’m getting them anyway.

    Huh. If so, "Maverick" the Transformer could be the plane flown IN Top Gun and not just a robot Tom Cruise who turns into a jet.

    LikeI say, in the spirit of silly fun, I DO want IDW to publish a ONE SHOT clarifying if this is the jet from Top Gun with hidden adventures of its own while Tom Cruise goes off and does stuff or if this is Tom Cruise AS A TRANSFORMER and he's an Autobot who enrolls in USAF and experiences the plot of Top Gun, plays volleyball with humans, falls for a human woman or a carbot fembot, etc. Does the toy represent the pilot as a Transformer and go through a version of the movie's events or is he the jet from the movie who's secretly an undercover Autobot the whole time.

    Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
    Me: Shut up Wallet you wont get a say against me buying more Colab TFs when they are available.

    I really like the Ectotron & I already was planning on getting Maverick. So now I gotta keep my eye out for a BttF TF that could be really Awesome.

    Possible first Colab TF fembot. Cool. My wallet would not be pleased.

    Since we're making requests, can I get the Pork Chop Express from Big Trouble in Little China?

    If Doc Brown and Egon can create a Transformer, Q absolutely can too.

    Also, root for a commander Tidal Wave because I'd absolutely buy a SHIELD Hellicarrier.

    what crossover Transformers I would like to see?
    Now hear me out... the Super X III from Godzilla vs Destoroyah or the ARGO from Godzilla: KOTM.

    Also... Knight Rider and The A-Team van as a two pack!

    Holy hell, I knew I was missing one! This. Gimme.

    Also, while we're talking trucks, folks are talking about KITT and KARR but what about GOLIATH?

    If it looks like this, I might get it. Mostly because it looks like it will have functional gullwing doors.

    I don't know personally. For Me, I would straight up just make this Vector Prime having "scanned" the time machine. Flux capacitor in the chest, a red and blue motif for the robot mode to homage Marty's jacket from the first film, and some "Nuclear warning" emblems on him to homage Doc's radiation suit.

    If it is, the goggles on the head are nice detail if they'll be on the toy.
