    I like X-Men a lot, I like Transformers (obviously)...this isn't bad, but I can't say that I want it either...

    I'm surprised they haven't done anything GI Joe crossover...seems like a no brainer...

    Batman is probably too tied up between McFarlane, Mattel (they don't have figures, but still have vehicle / Hot Wheels rights IIRC) and Spinmaster to have any hope of a Batmobile

    The General Lee hasn't had the confederate flag on it in toy or model form for a long time, but toys have still been done.

    Wonder if we will finally see the Tardis...I used to have the Soundwave / Tardis on a t-shirt...

    This is admittedly a pretty silly mashup and for some reason I can't explain, I love it, lol.

    Reminds me of the (apparently failed?) Star Wars and Transformers mashup figure line with Darth Vader's TIE Advanced (I modded mine with a Megatron head that looks great) and the Millennium Falcon (with the robots modeled after Han Solo and Chewbacca).

    X-Spanse... S-Pants. X-Spanx. The jokes write themselves. :lol 

    Thanks for this tip! I downloaded the Target Circle app and preordered X-Spanse and Marvel Legends Thanos, and applied the 25% off one toy coupon to X-Spanse to save a little over $16.

    Decepticon idea: the Breaking Bad Winnebago.

    Most brands aren't going to want Decepticons but maybe if they skew into the R-rated stuff like BB that still inexplicably get mass retail toy placement.

    Maybe a Game of Thrones dragon too?

    Yeah, they did seem to linger on discount in Japan for a while. I liked them though. Actually wouldn’t mind seeing both the Tie Fighter and Falcon redone in this line with new heads as actual Cybertronian characters.

    Maybe for you, but I found that most people hated the Marvel and SW crossovers, me being one of them. The Grey Hulk was mainly used for custom Megatrons, I believe. The only one I wanted was the Ironman jet, as it was the only one that both made sense and was featured in a TF comic.

    I literally just transformed my Megatron modded TIE Advanced and have him in bot mode in front of me. He's not what I'd call a good figure by any stretch of the imagination but he's not too bad. Just a fun, silly mashup. I kinda want to track down a fusion cannon for him now to go with the red lightsaber, lol.

    X-Spanse having one Wolverine claw and the other Psylocke's psychic knife on top of Cyclops's red quartz visor follows that same vein of silly fun for me.

    No thanks. I recently played with the TT Darth Vader tie fighter and it was as bad as the Hasbro versions.

    If a new crossover figure was made, hopefully by the same team behind these new crossover figures, then I'd be interested.

    Anyone else feel that’s a very Alex Milne style face on X-spanse?

    Exactly. Unless they want to commit toy sales and Transformers branding, and company dignity suicide.

    Hard pass. Blackbird should be black, and it seems pricey as heck for what it is. Such potential there, shame.

    Looks blue to me as far as the 90s toon and toys are concerned

    In the hands of a skilled customizer, this figure would make a great CHUG version of Bayverse Jetfire.
