Oh God, this is like the actual dumbest thing they could've come up with. Energy Wolverine claws? Cyclops' visor as a flip-down? They didn't even try to be creative. It's like what a literal child would think up if you told them "make an X-men Transformer!" Again, all of these crossover figures feel less like proper, earnest crossovers and more like kitbashes. Poorly thought-out kitbashes.

 

Hahahahahahahah... nope.

 

So here's a question I'd love to see addressed between now and release: Does it retain SS Jetfire's ability to combine with SS32 Prime?

Because I can understand if it doesn't. They did a lot of retooling already on this mold and that may have come at the expense of a few necessary joints. But at the same time, if it retains that ability...it's a perfectly built crossover figure as both the comics and the toys could have X-Spanse combine with Prime for the final face off.

 

Sucks that the effect parts aren't Siege compatible but I'll live. Looks neat, looks fresh, I didn't recognize Jetfire at all until it was pointed out (I also don't have the figure).

You want Armada back? Me too, dude

 

Ok fine, generic 90s X-Men uniform, it's still not Jim Lee's Cyclops uniform though, which was the claim

 

I almost did the same as I'd like a second Sky-Lynx, but I'm glad I procrastinated on him as $65 for this guy is more than I would be willing to pay for it.

 

I could be wrong, but the small blast effect they have wrapped around the small Wolverine looks like Psylocke\'s \"butterfly\" psionic mask she has sometimes. 

 

In all honesty, this isn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I dig it. It's a pretty good re-tool of SS Jetfire - I like how it has the same colors/design as the toys from the 90s, yet manages to pull off that sleek Blackbird look. The wings are a tad too small, though - any chance they can be enlarged a bit? The box art shows them in the much-better swept forward position, so guess it's mistransformed in those pics. Robot mode is a nice homage to various X-Men as opposed to flat-out being one of them. Pre-ordered!

 

I stand by it. Is it exact? No. But look at the Jim Lee X-Men #1 connected cover if you need reference and tell me again that of all the X-Men in that picture it isn't Cyclops' uniform.

I know I\'m in the minority but holy shit this looks horrible. Maverick horrible. I\'m a huge fan of both X-Men and Transformers. Was really excited about this. Huge let down. 

 

This is dangerusly close to those old crossover toys for me. The fake pouches X-men chest belts and cyclopses visor are all not my thing. I\'m also really not a fan of that back pack. I\'m sure it can be posed better but yikes.

I do like the alt mode and I do like the basic ideas in transformation. Maybe if it were a darker blue I\'d be more into it.

 

I wonder if the robot will be a new and original character or based on an existing X-Men character?

 

Thanks, I hate it.

 

Cyclops doesn't have an X on his chest, it's more of a Y

 

I actually do kind of like the head sculpt. Looks a bit like a Cyclonus. Wonder if they clean up the offset in the visor halves before mass production.

 

Which store is this at?

 

Guess they never learned from the Crossover figures

 

That name is awful.

Like the mix of Wolverine, Cyclops and Psylocke in the design what with the visor and blast effects.

Its not as bad as thought it would be but its not a must have.

 

Target, so far nobody else has listed it. Could be a Target exclusive as a bunch of Marvel Legends Target exclusives (particularly toybiz style retro card packs) dropped today for order
