I'm not sure how most people feel about them, but I personally love the Transformers Crossovers toy line, first Star wars and now Marvel, yes they are kinda goofy but really cool at the same time. I am really hoping that after the movie comes out, Hasbro will make some G.I. Joe crossovers, especially considering that Transformers and G.I. Joe have a long history together. I would love to see my favorite Joe and Cobra vehicles transform into robot likenesses of the main characters...er, is that maybe some kind of fetish?

As long as they transform into Joe universe vehicles, I'd be all about it. If they transform into robot versions of people, like the Marvel and Star Wars ones, no thanks. (Why do they call the one Human Torch when he's quite obviously not human, but a robot? Why not Johnny Storm?)

They have inspiration from the first Devil's Due GI Joe/Transformers crossover. The Seekers turned into Rattlers, some of the Autobot cars turned into Stingers, Prime turned into a HISS Tank and so on. It'd make more sense to get the Autobots to turn into Joe vehicles, but other than that, it's a great idea.

I voted yes, with reservations.
I don't particularly like the approach of the Transformer crossover toys right now. I don't like the way they transform into "robot versions" of SW or Marvel characters. I would not buy a transforming HISS that turned into a robot Cobra Commander or whatever. However, what I would buy are Transformers characters who transform into Joe-scaled vehicles that you could use with the 3 3/4" figures. Think of it as an alternate timeline where the Autobots and Decepticons awoke during a GI Joe Vs. Cobra battle, and scanned their vehicles for their alt modes. I would definitely buy an Optimus Prime that turned into a MOBAT tank, a Hound that turned into a Joe-sized VAMP, or Megatron that turned into a HISS tank. I suppose Starscream and the other Seekers would be Night Ravens... or they could be that Cobra jet from the cartoon (I just don't think a Rattler is appropriate, as it isn't sleek enough and a red one would too much like Powerglide). They'd be too big to be in scale, so I could live with them smaller as long as the robot modes were in scale with Megs and Optimus.

I hope Hasbro people see this thread - I mean, think about it. If you do them Joe-sized, and maybe even include a figure, you get both the Joe fans and the Transformers fans to buy them, plus the kiddies.
If you do them up the way the SW and Marvel stuff is done, I don't think many GI Joe fans will buy them... We don't tend to stray from the action figures too much, not the way SW and comic fans might buy statues, prop replicas, etc. So if a toy doesn't fit into our collection, we might not buy it.
