Transformers vs. GI Joe

I like both the vs. and G.I.Joe/Transformers. Both are cool in their own way and make sure to check out G.I. Joe season One it is a must have for your DVD collection. I really like the way they made all the old bi-planes transform into Superion.

This TF/Joe crossover is way better than the one by Devil's Due. First, I love the focus on Snake Eyes, and that he actually "speaks." And he kicks so much ass, I never loved Snake Eyes until now. Second, the WWII setting is genius, really gives you a sense of urgency. Third, this one has Grimlock in it, the other one didn't. Idiots. Fourth, the artwork is so good, I love the use of shadow that hides most of the TF's features. I don't know how, but the artwork makes it all seem more realistic. John Ney Rieber and Jae Lee make one hell of a team, the epic story telling and beautiful artwork come together perfectly. Will there be a TF/Joe volume 2? It seem like Devil's Due might do a volume 2, so it would be cool to see Dreamwave do another one as well.

:wtf What iffffff...the GiJoe/Transformers that are set in WWI(orII?) were made into figures? Orrrr maybe the Transformers that change into the actual GiJoe vehicles AND could fit real GiJoe figures in the seats!! NOTHING WOULD KEEP ME FROM A STARSCREAM BLACKBIRD!!!!!!!

finally, someone else who thinks they need toys of those. I would love to have Optimus as a HISS tank, or a bi-plane Superion.

:wtf Even if GiJoe figures wouldn't fit they could make those really minature toys (like the ones that fit into G1 Optimus) and put them in smaller versions of the vehicle modes. Heck, if you bought enough people could start having roll-playing wars (like Warhammer) or something. COBRA....retreat!

HISS Optimus may actually be in the works - I've seen pics of a prototype (not certain if its a statue or toy) posted a while back on the TNI board. Looked pretty good.

I'm sorry, but it would be next to impossible to do toys on the Dream Wave one as sad as it is to say...though an "Action Master" style could work. I would sooooooooo want a Rumble (he had the best entrance IMHO). Though I can't wait to see Bruticus in this.

 

I do agree about Snake Eyes, esp when he used the gunpowder on his face.

    • Please tell me this won't be the only release of TFP Cliffjumper...
    • If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story
    • Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?  
    • EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.
