I don't like knock offs.

Looks like it's going to be a recolor of this:

I tend to agree with you. But some of these "knock off" companies are doing a better job than HASBRO (especially on Transformers) and is giving fans what they want. One company is making the best looking Constructicons/ Devastator I have even seen.

Interesting...
Also, did you see this? Quote:
There is a Decepticon character, SONOWCAT from TF Energo, which is a design straight out of GI Joe. It's another future KrOssover character:
I find it puzzling that while Hasbro is doing TF/Star Wars crossovers (which make no sense to me), they haven't done anything other than the Starscream/Sky Striker which is only a Sky Striker repaint (and a special edition). Not that I'm saying Hasbro should do 1:18 scale transformable crossovers -though that would be AWESOME- you'd think they would have tried pushing that angle already... Especially with how "hot" TF is lately. |

Especially with how "hot" TF is lately. Plus, with Star Wars and Marvel, it's a case of Hasbro mixing a bit of their own in-house brands with licensed brands. I have a feeling the problem with combining Transformers and G.I. Joe too often is that G.I. Joe is having too many identity problems as it stands: If you start crossing it over with Transformers regularly, you may end up with a situation where G.I. Joe is devalued as a brand to the point where it simply becomes a subline of the far larger and more successful Transformers. |

Hasbro has said in the past that they like to keep the brand themes catagorized. Star Wars and Transformers are both "Science Fiction" while GI Joe is "Military". Apparently making a Sci-Fi Military theme is bad.
That said, there have been a few "nods" over the years like Snowcat above and the recently released Transformers Human Alliance Sandstorm w/ Private Dedcliff |

i think that joe borders on sci-fi. that being said hasbro has done figures in the joe scale(such as arcee for the tf movies). why could they release the previously release tf with joes maybe as a sub set. i would think that it would be cool to have an snake-eyes with a arcee figure but painted as the arashikage cycle or maybe repainted as the silver mirage motorcycle

The G.I. Joe/Transformers crossover was in the works but was cancelled I think?

matchbox released a veritech fighter that could hold a joe scale figure why couldn't hasbro try and do the same maybe with jetfire or any of the other jets?
