I was thinking, I always see those silly Star Wars Transformers, or Spider-Man Transformers... so why is it we've never seen the most obvious pairing G.I.Joe Transformers outside of comic books.
I can't believe they've never made a Rattler that transforms into Starscream (with a Wild Weasel "driver") or a Rolling Thunder/Ultra Magnus, an Optimus Prime/Havoc, or a Megatron/HISS tank. All in 3 3/4 scale I haven't been a Transformers fan since they killed Optimus Prime (I know he got better, and died again, and got better... but too little too late) but the idea just sounds so cool. |

3 3/4" scale transformers? You know how big those would be and how much those would cost?
Jesus... Now a size like what they do for Marvel/Transformers and Star Wars/Transformers would be cool.

well, a 3 3/4 transformer the size of a skystriker sure, but I don't think a VAMP or a SHARC or even on the extreme side a HISS sized transformer would be too absurd. Certainly a Skyhawk or a trouble bubble are small enough.
A Rolling Thunder sized Ultra Magnus would be out of the question, but there are PLENTY of reasonably sized vehicles. |

What Sunkyst said is right on the money.

Yeah, the Conquest or Rattler is already to scale, why not just turn that into a Transformer?
On a semi-related note, I find it slightly hilarious that there's a Marvel/TF Human Torch, who isn't a human in any way, shape or form. |

Hasbro has answered this question in the past by stating that they do not want to mix a Sci-Fi line (Star Wars) with a non-Sci-Fi line (GI Joe)

(ironic the joe movie looks more "sci fi" then the TF movie) IIRC, though, the last time this was asked in the QA, the answer was a tad more "relaxed" ~ instead of the "no" it had been every time, it was a "not in our plans while we focus on the movies, but not out of the question down the road" kind of answer. I'd love standard sized transformers that came with Joe mini-figs (like the ones that used to come with the Star Wars Transformers. CSunkyst ~ have you seen DOn Figuero's Optimus Prime/Rolling Thunder and Megatron/Destro's Dominator design's? they are an epic win!
