Having Cobra Commander pilot Starscream who transforms into a Rattler, or even an F-15 Eagle, but whose robot mode resembles Starscream and not Cobra Commander, is a far better idea than having Cobra Commander piloting a jet that transformed into a robotic version of Cobra Commander. *shudders*

 

Fixed :thumb

 

Thank you Hobbes! I was gonna have a whole hissy fit about mixing up vehichles and their pilots.

Nah, you need to go headmaster style with these guys. That would be much more fun.

that would be pretty interesting. i'd like to see them more like exosquad/facemasters where the tf worked like a suit and the gi joe was inside...

Damn it Piggy, pay attention :tard

Damn it! You got me. My browser wouldn't open the original posted link initially and I didn't even realize that it was the same link. I thought it was a cool idea when I originally saw the link posted in the custom\kitbash section. I love the emoticon syntax =tard :tflaugh

 

I'd like to see the whole idea retroed a bit. Use World War II boats, planes, and land vehicles for Transformer alt modes crossed with vintage GI-Joes styled bot modes.

Nice to know you didn't go all emo and have your feelings hurt. :tftongue

 

That headmaster Hound is a pretty cool idea and I get a kick out of watching it. :tflaugh

I once saw a G2 megatron custom that had Cobra Commander as his headmaster. I can't find any picture though. It was pretty sweet. :thumb

There was already a WWII TF/GI Joe crossover comic series... It totally rocked. Bumblebee as a Harley with a sidecar (Scarlett rides him and he LIKES it!), Ironhide as an M8 Greyhound armored car, Prime as an artillery tractor with a big honkin' gun... Megs was a Luger, and Ravage was a grenade. Starscream as a P-51 Mustang... Oh MAN I'd love to see toys made of those suckers!

 

As for Pretenders...

 

:puke

 

I hate Pretenders.

Joe fans wouldn't like WWII Vehicles

Joe fans wouldn't like WWII Vehicles

 

 

I would disagree with that. There are lots of highly accurate 1:18 (GI Joe-Scaled) WWII toys out there that Joe fans love (the ones who can afford them, that is--they're mighty expensive). Fighter planes, tanks, half-tracks, all kinds of great stuff. Yeah, some are being bought by collectors, but some also go to Joe fans. Whether kids would buy them or not is another question. But I think the combination of TFs, Joe characters as perhaps mini-figures that come with the TFs, and realistic vehicle modes would sell pretty well.

Transformers as G.I. Joe vehicles is enough for me.

Hell YES!

Whoever came up with SWTFs needs to be kicked in the crotch quickly before we end up with a GIJoeTF line where we have Joe/COBRA vehicles transforming into robotic likenesses of Joe/COBRA people... ewww.

Let's just mash G.I.Joe, Transformers and Star Wars into one line.

 

 

"Pretender Jar Jar reveals Wheelie with Snake Eyes Headmaster"

I would get a boner if I ever saw a Transforming H.i.S.S Tank on the shelf.

 

 

 

I hope at least they might end up as the occasional 6inch Titanium. What with them improving on their designing and production

I'd love the idea of using the scale of the SW TFs while having robots similar to real TF characters. I'd prefer a majority of G1 to crossover with the Joes, but a few new faces couldn't hurt.

 

The major thing that I don't see listed here is that I think each toy should come with 2 Joes. The problem is that many of the vehicles had drivers who weren't the star characters. Yet, there was usually space for more figures. So having 2 in a pack could work if they could make the space.

 

And I would keep the leaders all seperated. So Starscream as a Rattler with Wild Weasel and Cobra Commander would make complete sense to me (rather than pairing Cobra Commander with Megatron). So would Hound as a Vamp with Clutch and Mutt.

 

I don't think that specialties would always need pairing, but they could also get away with Ratchet as some new emergency vehicle (or a familiar vehicle like the Hammer retrofit as an emergency vehicle) with Doc and/or Lifeline.

 

And Optimus and Megatron would be better as the larger vehicles. Prime as the Thunderclap looked really cool.

 

I think with this sort of thing, the real fun would be in finding what mix they could bring us while also giving classic items a new look (as they have done with the TF Classics line).
