    Now that we're about to get BW figures again I really hope they redo Mach Kick because there needs to be a flipside to this crossover.

    Alternatively, making money is like throwing darts. Hasbro throws enough, something will hit a bullseye, right?

    The REAL question remains: is there a market for this? That justifies the costs/effort? Although, it's another obvious attempt to sell the cheaper, non-transforming toys for premium prices - that's always profitable... if u have enough suckers.
    Nicely done. U didn't need to insult G1 fans, but u went out of ur way to do so! There's no need for a G1 comeback here; ur animosity is so great as to be its own curse. :eek: 
    This will make money as a "limited" edition. I have trouble seeing the purpose of these, given the broad differences between franchises, where a crossover makes little to no sense. Except to reel in some suckers who want to invest in the limited release.

    If u love MLP, and u are here reading this, awesome: Hasbro made ur dreams come true! I just wonder how many Bronies exist on this site, to justify this odd crossover. Wouldn't it be better to crossover MLP with something else? Like Sesame Street, Barbie, Disney Princesses?

    Whole lot of "Stop liking what I don't like." going on in here.

    Any confirmation of the UK seller for this? My sister grew up with MLP and me with G1. She had an almighty crush on Optimus Prime though, so I'm really thinking about buying this for her...

    Cheers. I've seen that one on Amazon and Kapow, and spotted the D&D and Power Rangers ones too. It's weird that Little Prime was announced/revealed before those two but all is quiet. Especially as the crossover comic is being revealed...

    I keep imagining a life size Optimus pony and Megatron pony having this exchange on the podium at Universal Studios. :D

    This has probably already been suggested, but it's a shame they couldn't have made a pony in this style that transforms into a robot. As long as the pony was the base and didn't look like it transformed, the robot could just look like anything. Sort of Botbots style.
