G.I. Joe - Transfomers cross-over... What would you want out of this?

I just read the new Hasbro Q & A thread for 2008 and many peolple are requesting information about a possible G.I. Joe - Transformers cross-over.

I'm curious about the thoughts of what members would want or expect out of this line if it ever did exist.

All of the other Transformer cross-over lines, such as Star Wars and Marvel, are actual characters transforming into vehicles. For Star Wars this works a bit because we are familiar with both the characters and vehicles they chose. In some ways they remind me of Spaceball-1 transforming into Mega Maid. Well that's what they look like to me anyways. As far as the Marvel line goes I see no point in it.

If this line was made into a G.I. Joe line, would you like to see a Skystriker transforming into Ace, or a Rattler transforming into Wild Weasel? Or would you like to see a G.I. Joe vs. Transformers line where the figures were in the correct aspect to one another. I can see the Joe figures being smaller than the little 2.5 inch Sigma-6 line to compensate the Transformers robots from not being humongous.

If you were to do a cross-over line like the Star Wars line, what would you have major characters that are not vehicle drivers transforming into?

I don't know about you, but as from a collectors standpoint, I don't see the point in a new line like that. It might attract kids, and that's all good for Hasbro, but it's not going to make me "donate" any more money to them. I collect Star Wars and Transformers as well, but have never purchased one of the transforming Star Wars toys.

If I'm going to spend any more money on a new line of G.I. Joe, I rather see an 8 inch Unleashed line. I love the "statue" like look of the Star Wars line, so I think the Joes would look great as well. I would love to own a Snake Eyes vs. Storm Shadow Unleashed.

Please let me know your thoughts.

A G.I. Joe Unleashed line?

I LIKE!!!!

NO NO NO please no unleashed. I really wouldn't mind seeing the crossover, BUT they need to leave each figure the same. Transformers must transform & be in correct scale to the Joes. Joes must be in 3 inch scale & be super poasable.

Honestly I could see them even do a movie cross over (2009)

I am invinsioning the packaging for the 2-packs....You get one Joe & One Transformer.

It'd be more affordable to do a line where the Joe figures are smaller.
I'd love a Star Wars Transformers line done with Joe Vehicles.

Then you can have a Cobra Rattler that turns into Thundercracker, a Night Raven that turns to Skywarp; Skystriker that turns into Jetfire, a Mauler that turns into Warpath. A VAMP that turns into Hound.

Firebat = Starscream
Stinger = Ravage
Ferret = Frenzy
RAM Cycle = Cliffjumper
Wolverine = Ironhide
Triple T = Ratchet
Mamba = Soundwave
Mean Dog = Optimus
HISS = Megatron ;D

Just thinking quickly and off the top of my head; I'm sure Optimus and Megs could be more bad@$$ vehicles

Ok that makes way more sense for a cross-over line than having vehicles such as the Rattler transform into Wild Weasel, which I'm sure would be Hasbro's idea seeing what they do with Star Wars and Marvel Transformers.

I like your idea way better, but if Hasbro were to do this, I'm sure the vehicles would be the same scale as the Star Wars Transformers making the G.I. Joe scale the same size as those little Star Wars figures that come with the Star Wars Transformers.

Toy companies always think of cost, so I doubt that we ever see the scale we would want for both figures.

That would be great. I would have to buy some of those...

Definitely would buy these, just to see how many trademark names Hasbro would put on one package:

THUNDERCRACKER
includes RATTLER pilot WILD WEASEL

and then have a tech spec & file card on the back LOL

This thread's got me thinking. I know in the comics that Ironhide and Ratchet have appeared as HISS Tanks, but I never bought that comic series past the first issue.
more ideas:

Defiant = Omega Supreme [rockets!]
WHALE = Seaspray
Silver Mirage = Bumblebee
AWE Striker = Mirage
Conquest = Jazz

ASP = Rumble
CLAW = Laserbeak
Stellar Stilleto = Thrust

I love the idea of the transformers from joe vhiecles to tf characters thats an amazing idea. and makes a ton more sense then from vhelicel to character, those piss me off to no end.

And hell yeah to unleashed, just think of how cool those would look

why theres no point to a line of gi joe TF cross over why cant you just grab a gi joe and transformer and go play?

Transformers and GI JOE Toys?
when is gijoe transformers going to be made
