    Oh, yeah! Gives me lots of ideas! In fact, he looks like the custom Alternators Gears by Lobo.

    Definitely getting this one. Too bad they aren't smaller so they would be in scale with Classics though...so much kitbash potential (plus they'd be $10 and not $15)

    Really? I thought that was the one thing everybody knew about Wolverine.

    As a Canadian, I get a perverse pleasure out of knowing that comic books' most prominent Canuck is an obnoxious, uncouth, cigar-puffing psychotic killer. :) 

    I think the Astonishing costume is a slightly revamped version of his original costume from the 70's. I grew up with the brown/tan costume, so I always find the blue/yellow one a bit glaring.

    Maybe an Alternators Gears though... he's way too big to make a Classics Gears.

    Agreed... I've already seen a photo from some sort of Con or Hasbro display with this figure painted in the browns... with touches of olive green too. If they actually do that repaint, he'll make good fodder for a Roadbuster custom... maybe Outback.

    I know what you mean. The only reason I get excited about these is because of the potential they have to be customized into traditional TFs (and because they're actually really well-designed). However, as much as I love superhero comics, I just can't get into the idea of Marvel characters as Transformers. Too goofy for me.

    I know what you mean, but I kind of like the large scale on some of these. If you want to bash Hulk into Grimlock or Iron Man into a Seeker, then they are actually a much better scale for Classics than the real Classics Seeker and Grimlock molds.

    The official molds for some of the Deluxe Classics just seem way too small for the characters they're supposed to represent.

    Which is why Wolvie here might make a good Roadbuster... Roadbuster always seemed like he should be sort of big.

    i saw him along with Grey Hulk, Black Spidey n Human Torch at a hobby shop in my local area and stupidly refused to get him on the spot...
    i went there 4 days later and Wolvie was SOLD OUT!!! I was like WTH?!??!

    Note : Wolvie was the only original TF Crossover in wave 2...Grey hulk was grey tank (same mold as Hulk in wave 1), Black Spidey was Racing Bike (same mold as Spidey from wave 1) n Human Torch was jet plane (modified slightly from Iron Man's mold)

    Hmm. The scruffy Canuck looks better than I was expecting. May get him, after all.

    Pfft. You probably think Spider-Man and Arcee are different molds, too.

    TOTALLY different molds. I'm surprised people are still under the impression that Torch is a retooled Iron Man... which Hasbro totally could have done, but thankfully didn't. Their theme so far seems to be "flying superhero = flying alt-mode"

    LOL! At least the Spidey and Movie Arcee molds have some basic engineering similarities. That's it though.

    Haha! Yeah, I guess that's an obvious one right there. I mean, Overhaul was already inspired by Wolverine, so going back the other way is kind of a no-brainer. :)

    Everyone knows that Torch and Iron Man are the same mold. Same as with Classics Starscream and Jetfire. I mean, they're both jets, they MUST be the same mold. Right?:confused:

    I'm gonna pick him up for sure. I wish Hasbro went with his chest transformation for some of the movie voyagers like Ratchet and Ironhide. We can only hope TF:ROTF will bring better versions of these characters.

    I also hope this Wolvering is repainted in anything other than this color scheme, but I will still be buying this version too.

    I really like this mold. We need more Trophy truck Transformers :) 

    I just had to quote this since I couldn't agree more... :thumb

    I could care less about most of the Marvel Crossovers, since they're mostly Marvel Heores and a Villian (the only evil dude is Venom right now) shoehorned into "transforming mech suits" that really don't make sense at all (Why does the Human torch even need a transforming jet suit?). I am getting Wolvy for kitbash fodder, though, 'cause he's gonna be the base figure of my next custom TF project: Mudflap :bay

    Slight mis-transformation in your pic. The front wheels pull down for the alt mode. The tire ends up having the same wheel well clearance as the back tires.

    once upon a time (long time ago) Logan was the canadians response to captain america (or at least they intended to be that way)

    Wolverine looks pretty awesome...
    vehicle mode is an offroad rally truck.
    Robot mode: decent articulations...
    The gadget : spring loaded claws are good although they are too short.
    just want to throw in couple of pics...

    Just opened mine. He's pretty rad. Make sure to flip out his heels (That aren't mentioned in the directions) or he can't stand at all. His transformation is pretty fun and unique. Just wish he had better looking claws instead of the molded together ones.
