    Don't want, don't need, waste of space, don't play the game.

    Good luck to Hasbro, I guess. More power to them if they can actually get a sizeable portion of the 5-10 boys-buying-toys demographic to buy these. They seem pretty dumb to me.

    It's no weirder than the Star Trek/X-Men comics that came out a few years ago... I actually kind of liked those.

    Really? I didn't know of the existance of those comics. That's even weirder.
    But I still don't like the Attacktix line.

    More importantly,are the Transformers fighting star wars characters,? If so it's Optimus/Megatron/Omega Sentinel versus darthvader/luke skywalker/and some droid.
    Or have Megatron and darth vader joined forces?​
    Either way I don't give a damn.

    Bah, you people have no imagination. Fantasy doesn't have to make sense. It's a battle of one galaxy vs another galaxy.

    Coruscant, Tatooine, etc vs Cybertron, Earth, etc

    Personally, I would totally buy an animation DVD just to see these crazy fights.

    It's a nice idea ... but certainly not for everyone.

    I won't be buying these guys unless I see a figure that's so super-ultra-freaking-cool that I have to get it. By the looks of things, I won't be buying these guys.

    But if this turns out to be a success, then more power to Hasbro. I hope that if Attacktix is a success, that Hasbro uses part of its earnings towards other TF lines like Alternators and Classics. :)

    Hey doubters, cheer up! Maybe we'll get to really see a Unicron VS Death Star fight. In a battle between Vader and Prime, I think Vader will have the edge until Optimus learns to use the Force and weild a Light Saber! :D  This series is no worse than "Celebrity Death Match". I don' play this game yet but I'll learn. :D

    Let's see...Transformers that don't transform, have limited posability, and have 'cool' action features. I liked 'em better when they were called 'Action Masters.'

    I sent an e-mail to Hasbro asking if they're considering a SW vs TF cartoon. I expect the following reply.

    "Thank you for your inquiry. At this time, it is our belief that you are on DRUGS."

    Optimus Prime would never hurt a human. Even an incredibly evil human that was chopping at his legs with a light saber.

    It's no different really than TF vs GI Joe, although I guess Joes make more sense....maybe cause the two have been paired up longer....

    Anyhoo, I don't like any of the TF/SW stuff. None of it has impressed so far. I still wanna see TF/Joe toys.
