Best GI.Joe/Transformers crossover

[delta]

Which one was best in your opinion.

[slim19722]

The Dreamwave WW2 story. Never thought of anyone doing that kind of crossover, modern lines in a historic era and they pulled it off. The designs on the Joe's & TF was cool. Hope they get a chance to finish the rest of the Divided Front series.

I voted the WWII Crossover. I like the paperback best in Black and White. I think it's the best GI.Joe OR Transformers story ever told IMO.

Second I'd choose The GI.Joe/Transformers Gen 2 crossover. The art work at that time just kicked butt if you ask me. Great set up for Gen 2.

The first Marvel crossover was the worst if you ask me. You had to read both the Joe comics, and the Transformers comics just to understand it.

I have to say Generation II just for nostalgia factor, thats when I was still a young kid reading GI Joe (collecting the back issues too, but that was the current comic of my child hood).

But really all 4 of the Devil's Due series were just awesome. the Dreamwave ones were pretty but ehhhh...

The original was okay but there was too much going on with Optimus dying, Shockwave taking over the decepticons and Cobra Commander and Destro going missing.

Oh! isn't there a separate Action Force VS TF crossover from Marvel UK that was was different then the American Joe/TF crossover? Should that be counted too?

Didint know about that one. Looked it up, and yeah it exisist, but Action Force kinda sucked lol!

Too late to changh the poll (I think) Unless someone could tell me how to do it.

I liked the first DDP/image series. The story balanced both franchises well and gave most of the characters a decent part to play. The artwork was nice and crisp too. In fact, this was the only one I liked...

I hated the WW2 series from Dreamwave. The art was too muddy and nothing seemed to happen. The whole thing seemed to just play off the central conceit of TF's as WWII military equipment and the actual plot barely regsitered with me.

I loved the art. It all was a little hard to make out, but every time I read it I saw something new I didin't see before. The story was the most mature for either franchise ever. That was nice for a change

This thread inspired me to take a look at the Action Force crossover... and it was nothing to write home about, I could only read pt 1 and 4 but it seems I didn't miss much inbetween.

Action Force team runs into Megatron in some tunnels and run away from him, They come up and meet with Grimlock (at this point commander of the Autobots) who fights with Megatron... Sky Strikers come too take both robots out, some other Autobot called Centurion takes Grimlock's place and gets bombed with Megatron...

The end.

Major Action Force players: Flint, Scarlett, Wild Bill

Major Transformer players: Grimlock, Megatron, Blades, Centurion.

I'd collect em' if I could find em!
Thanks for the info though.

I made 3 poles this week, the results of ALL the poles surprised me.

apparently ....
The Tank liked the Transformers movie. = Surprise to me

The Tank dose not think GI.Joe would make a good comedy movie. Also = a surprise to me

The Tank liked the WWII Transformers crossover = pleasant surprise to me

*By "The Tank" I mean those who voted*

The ACTION FORCE/TF crossover takes palce within the Marvel (UK versions) comic continuity. The UK TF continuity was a mix of UK material woven around reprinted US stories (which most people probably know).

The Megatron of "Ancient Relics" (the title of the crossover story) was originally supposed to have been 'teleported' into the London sewers when the Space Bridge blew up after his battle with the Predacons (marvel US issue #25). Of course, later on Simon Furman changed his own continuity (when he took over writing the US comic) by saying Maegatron had been shot to Cybertron in the blast. I think he explained it by saying the "London Megatron" was a 'quantum duplicate' or some such nonesense like that.
It gets a bit complicated!

I liked the UK story. It's simple but with an underlying theme (it's about the Centurion robot feeling useless and going out in a blaze of glory), and Geoff Senior's art is very dynamic. I don't think it deserves to be dismissed.

I bet finding Transformers stuff is a little easier than Joe stuff. My boss (Who is British), and his Son collect joes. They get them while on vacation in the states. His son just likes the Ninjas cus' they "bend at the knee".

When I'm over there I find it hard to find anything Action Force at all. Transformers is much easier (after I sort through all the DR.Who stuff of coarse)

Might I ask how you Crimson rage got into GI.Joe?

I loved the WW2 setting and art. Solid story all the way.

'Natural evolution' really. I had dozens of 12" Action Man figures in the 1970's (literally, as I saved up all the 'Star Points' to get a free 'nude' figure every few months). Then Star Wars came along and I grew to love 3 3/4 figures more. When Palitoy released 1/18th "Action Force" it was the best of both worlds: Military themes with smaller scale figures.
When they slowly evolved into GI JOE over the years it all seemed quite natural to me - I didn't even know what "GI JOE" was for quite a while until I saw a programme about American Advertising and there was a commercial for Joe featuring a load of characters that to me were 'Action Force'.

I've been buying Joe items of some description virtually ever since (thank goodness for the internet!). I've since started to re-collect some of the pre-Cobra AF stuff but it's getting harder to find in good condition.

[numb007]

Marvel by far the best!

[protoxero]

gen 2 imo id say, cus it is the only one that i still have and thought was any good.

[Supreme Convoy]

Tough poll!

I love the Devil's Due omnibus, Art of War is probably my favorite out of that collection.

But overall? I think I have to side with the crossover with Generation 2. I know it's not a "complete" story since it's mostly Transformers with little focus with the GI Joe but as a kid, it's the first time I saw these two franchises together. It definitely captured my imagination!

[TheSabOteuR]

Can anyone show me the cover of the comic of the WW2 crossover because I'm abit behind and with what yall are saying, it sounded good as I want to try and find one so I can read the comic story? Last time I collected comics was back in 1997 where my mom accidently threw away close to all my almost 10,000 comics. I miss reading them and hopefully someone here can send a photo of the cover or tell me the name so I can try to locate one as soon as I can...thanks tankers!

That's not entirely true. This crossover was ignored in the Joe comics at that time. It only affected events in the Transformers comics.

[Jediorc]

I hate transformers. To combine them with g.i.joe is the worst thing you could do.
