    Another hideous release... that Megatron/Hiss Tank was such a letdown.

    I really like it! Looks like it might have limited articulation, but I love the alt mode- I never had the AWE Striker.

    Will buy.

    Looking at that Bulkhead I can easily see a GI Joe A.P.C. Optimus Prime. C’mon make it happen, Hasbro.

    I hope Hasbro would gang mold a Hound head and release a redeco later to please more TF fans than this Bumblebee.

    I would have preferred Hound or Beachcomber for this mold.

    I actually find it depressing how crap the Robot mode is. We should be well beyond that. (again, this is coming from someone who's dreamed of this line since at least the mid 80s.) Crushing disappointment.

    I take no pleasure in confidently saying...that is the single ugliest Transformers collaboration figure I have ever seen. And that bar was incredibly low lol.

    honestly, I wouldn't pay Voyager price for it. (and, as a big Joe fan, not a fan of them bringing back the O-ring figures as the "retro" representation with their old-school sculpts, much prefer the 25th/ME figures with the sharp sculpts and improved articulation)

    Looks fine to me, I'm not sure what you guys were expecting after seeing the initial Hasbro pics. Unlike with HISS tank Megatron where you would be surprised by all the hollow-ness and whatnot, I see no surprises here.

    I'm not sure what people were expecting from this crossover, but this is pretty damn close for me. I expect either they reuse this for beachcomber, or a 3rd party makes a replacement head (and hopefully chest).

    If people remember and like alternators, they should know having size dedicated for a rider limits the end robot mode. That was 1:24 scale, and this is 1:18; that was about 20 years of inflation ago. I'm glad they didn't decide to go more complex and charge Haslab prices (hundreds of dollars).

    I don't see anything wrong with the figure, the vehicle mode looks great and the robot mode looks pretty good too, don't understand why so many of you crap on this one and hiss tank megatron, I love both of these. But whatever floats your boat I guess.

    This really looks like it's in the style of the Star Wars crossover toys from 15 years ago with today's collector-gouging prices. If the Death Star Vader was released today he would easily retail for a Titan Class price.

    Okay, I like this design, but credit where credit is due. That was a good one.

    I actually like this a lot more than that Megatron/HISS Tank. Though I probsbly would have liked it to be a bit smaller..
