Just got in from last night, so haven't read the thread, but I'm sure this has been said--speculation aside, I can't see this being anything but lame. I'll give the first few a go, but it'll be one of the few TF comics I don't blindly support if it doesn't blow me away.
Agreed. I hope for the best, but won't be shocked if it's horrible. And then I can just happily ignore it.
i'm sure it's already been said, but why they do this s--t and leave GIJoe/Transformers (Did ya'll SEE Don's Rolling Thunder Prime and Dominator Megatron designs) on the table makes me want to scream.
Code: [COLOR="Green"]NO GREEN MONSTER TURN INTO TANKS![/COLOR] I like to get a Nightcrawler Transformer.
I thought we were talking about figures of an undefined nature. Not comics. Or are you simply pointing out that a comic tie-in is likely?
*knock at the door* -Death *answeres door* "Yes?" -??? "Is Smog around? -death "Hey, Smog?! Transformers animated is here to see you!"
If it hasn't been done yet, might I remind people of "Cybertron Overhaul/Wolverine" and "Cybertron Landmine/Colosus"?
I dunno. If they can pull off a awesome "Robotic Wolverine" that transforms into something super-cool, I'll bite. I just want to see how it all plays out. Then I'll pass judgment.
A line of Marvel pretenders might work or even animation styled molds like the new transformers animated.
A shield helicarrier would be badass, not sure on the rest, but that one would have to be big. Like death star big in my opinion. I'd vote war machine or ironman for that figure. And if they could, try and get the marvel mangaverse avengers vehicles in. That'd be another Ironman for the movie hype, a transforming gestalt one at that. A mecha Nick Fury would be interesting. Heck, Omega Supreme as the shield helicarrier would soooooooo rock. There's also the cosmic cube and a mecha redskull or thanos... I'd take that in a heart beat. Black Cat as someone else said. Comic crossover ones would be odd, but possible since they have both. I'm just hoping for that helicarrier with the ironman movie coming up. Lots of ideas could work well, but just WTF will they do? As for GI Joe, sadly, the only one we may get for awhile is snowcat, and I didn't buy enough of him when he was out for enough variants. T_T
I'm calling it now. We'll get a Squirrel Girl figure that transforms into the Squirl-a-gig. And I'll buy 5.
As others have said, this has the potential of being very good or very bad. I'll wait till some pictures surface before posting anything positive or negative about it. I gotta say though: 1) IMO, the chances of Marvel Legends of Circuit Breaker, Death's Head or the Neo-Knights are almost nil. Why? I don't see those selling too well. 2) Marvel vehicles that transform into anything, either a Transformers character or a Marvel character aren't likely either since IMO very few Marvel vehicle are widely recognizable. I fear that leaves us with Marvel characters that transform into something somehow related to their powers ... like Spider-man into a Spider, Wolverine into a feral beast or the Hulk into a tank. I'd say SWTF have worked pretty well. Sales-wise that is. -airfox
I want a Brian Michael Bendis. Transformers from Overrated Writer to Monster Bug to Luke Cage's Girlfriend and back again! Pointless Thought Bubbles and Complete Circle Dialogues included! Combines with Marvel Transformers Joe Quesada to form the super-robot Dumbf***! But seriously, I have high-hopes for these, but if they turn out bad I won't lose any sleep over it.
*Sigh* Why can't Hasbro do the one crossover line that actually makes the most sense - Transformers/G.I.Joe!
They've stated an actual reason for not doing this. I believe it was something along the lines of avoiding line/brand confusion.... regardless, I agree with you.
