Even though I'm not a big Transformers fan, I've always enjoyed when G.I.Joe and the Transformers would crossover in the comic books. Especially when they were their own continuity. Even I didn't really care when the Transformers invaded the main G.I.Joe continuity. Devil's Due did it again a few years ago, and since then I've wanted Joe compatable Transformers. And I always wished the Special Forces team in "Transformers" was Joes.
Plus Dr.Vile's customs here make me really want a G.I.Joe vs. Transformers line. You would think with both properties being ownwed by Hasbro, it would be a no-brainer. I understand Joe sized Transformers would be more expensive (i.e. Need more parts to transform. More parts = more molds. More molds = more cost), but I'd think it would be somewhat feasable on a smaller level. I decided to put together a fantasy list. Not what I would actually want, but the way I think Hasbro would do it. I included the Joe standards of Duke, SE, CC, Destro, & SS, but while including the more techie of the characters to fit the theme, I tried to include some we've been wanting. I don't have much knowledge of Transformers outside of the main characters. I tried to not use Decepticons that look like US military/Joe vehicles, and some of the alt modes have changed over time, so somebody with better knowledge, feel free to make better suggestions. G.I.Joe vs. Transformers Wave 1 01. Duke 02. Major William Lennox 03. Sam Witwicky w/ All-Spark cube 04. Snake-Eyes 05. Cobra Commander 06. Storm Shadow 07. Dr. Mindbender 08.BAT Deluxe Figures 01. Hi-Tech w/ Steeljaw 02. Baroness w/ Ravage Alpha Vehicles 01. Arcee/Silver Mirage w/ Jinx 02. Sideways / Ferrett w/ Scrap-Iron Bravo Vehicles 01. Hound/VAMP w/ Clutch 02. Megatron/Cybertronian Laser Cannon w/ Destro Charlie Vehicles 01. Joe Mech w/ Mainframe 02. Cobra Mech w/ Cyber Viper Wave 2 09. Chief Master Sgt Robert Epps 10. Mikaela Banes w/ Wheelie 11. Dial Tone 12. Storm Shadow 13. Over Kill 14. Techno-Viper Deluxe Figures 03. Snake-Eyes w/ Cybertronian Ninja Battle Armor 04. Storm Shadow w/ Cybertronian Ninja Battle Armor Alpha Vehicles 03. Scattorshot/SLAM w/ Roadblock 04. Scourge/Trouble Bubble w/ Firefly Bravo Vehicles 03. Bumblebee/AWE Striker w/ Crankcase 04. Onslaught/HISS w/ Driver Wave 3 15. Helix 16. Sci-Fi 17. Major Bludd 18. Tele-Viper Deluxe Figures 05. PAC Rat w/ Tripwire 06. SNAKE Armor w/ Cobra Viper Alpha Vehicles 05. Waver/Devilfish w/ Torpedo 06. Thunderblast/Hydrosled w/ Eel Bravo Vehicles 05. Slingshot/Sky Hawk w/ Ace 06. Starscream/Firebat w/ Wild Weasel Echo Vehicle Grimlock/Mauler w/ Heavy Metal Big Vehicle/Playset Optimus Prime/Rolling Thunder w/ General Hawk I know there are some better vehicle/Transformer choices, but like I said, I tried to set it up the way I think Hasbro would do it. What are your suggestions?

The Transformers movie-verse sucks. I would leave all the movie characters out. Spike >>> Sam Labeouf.

I don't care for Shia LeBeouff either. I just included the movie 'verse to get human characters like Major Lennox and Sgt. Epps mixed in with the Joes. Besides, who wouldn't want a Meagan Fox figure for their Clutch to defile?

At the toy fair last year I saw a picture of transformers that looked a lot like the Conquest & something else Joe related, I don't remember.
They are making transformer out of Star Wars, Marvel & anything else. I believe (although not anounced) they will eventually do this with GI Joe too. Last edited by VideoViper; 09-08-2010 at 02:09 PM.. |

i like what you are talking about. but my be something like the resolute figs would be the best idea. like don't go crazy but try to keep it true to something. like i really enjoyed the ww2 story line that was covered by dreamwave. but to be honest just as long as they are in scale i will just pick and choose which ever ones i want.
also love the tech route you are going with. i am trying to do the same for my pwn joe/formers dio Last edited by jmc2915; 09-08-2010 at 02:18 PM.. |

I think that's a very good idea. It seems like a logical decision on hasbro's part.

I agree. With the expense, a smaller run, more like a sub-set or TRU exclusive, would probably work better.
