Ah that makes a little more sense I guess. I was only familiar with the toon. Still, you’d think one of the more prominent joes would been a better fit. They chose bumblebee for name recognition even tho this isn’t a VW bug , & other TFs have had dune buggy Alt modes

trying to remember: was stalker one of the joes that stayed in the alternate universe in that ARAH Ep?

 

it does seem like they'd have done someone like Duke, but I think he got a vintage o-ring release already. (haven't really kept up with those because I'm just not a fan post-ME Joes)

 

From the 2 parter "World's Without End". It's Steeler, Clutch, and Grunt that decide to stay in the parallel universe.

 

Ah that’s right. I knew there was an “S” name in there lol.
I binged the 1st 2 seasons on Tubi a few months ago, for the first time since I was a kid. I was amazed how little I remembered of the series. Which is odd cuz I watched EVERYTHING in the 80s. Being that disconnected from it allowed me to see it without the nostalgia bias. Some shows were actually pretty dark, and others more adult themed than you’d expect in a kids show. My jaw dropped during the Ep where Baroness is in a bikini the whole time and then does a leg scissor takedown on Flint. Couldn’t stop chuckling….

 

Hips are kinda loose on mine, but other than that, much more solid than Megs.
(missing some parts to my SDCC Jetfire and Powerglide due to the flood so if anyone knows of any junkers for sale, unlikely I know, let me know)
Never knew the AWE Striker was about the same size as the VAMP.

My GI Joe crossovers

 

I got mine today. He's definitely worse that Megatron, but he looks cool.


Biggest problem I have is his roll cage backpack. It definitely needs to compress more.


I may have said this before but both of these G.I. Joe crossovers need some upgrade kits.

 

The backpack not folding up makes the figure harder to manipulate in robot mode--if only hasbro could have made those two lower rails rotate or something. My only other gripe for both megs and bee is the lack of upward/downward head movement.
Besides those issues I am over the moon with both figures and cant wait for more. Two new vehicle choices I thought of would be a HAVOC as Rodimus Prime and Galvatron as a DEMON.
Now knowing til all are one.

 

Upgrade kits aren't gonna save them.

These need redesigned from the ground up.

 

Well yeah but a new non-hollow cannon for Megatron and a more collapsible roll cage for Bee would help a lot.

 

Megs gun is so hollow I wonder if a gimmick was removed to cut costs. A firing missile gimmick/light up cannon would be cool.

 

The Vietnam LRRP is back together again!

 

I got mine and overall the only really big problem I have is that damned rollbar cage in robot mode! I swear, Alternators Swindle and Hound had their rollbar cages fold up and compress better than this one! I can't fathom why they couldn't have designed it to do that.

 

Not only is it an obstructive eyesore it's heavy. I pull it off lats night and Bee's torso held together much better.

 

After seeing the comic art you posted I had to get a CC that matched it.

You were right, this would've been a perfect figure to include with Megs.

 

DUDE..Thats a COOL CC...Thats exactly the figure he should have came with. EXACTLY.

 

Battle Corps Cobra Commander. Great figure.

 

Does anyone know if there are alternative heads planned by any customizers? I SERIOUSLY want a Brawn head for this figure.
