In addition to the SDCC Starscream/Cobra Commander crossover set, a couple of other interesting Transformer related tidbits emerged at this year's G.I. Joe Convention. Toy News International has posted images from yesterday's Hasbro Archives Roundtable of unused Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover concepts. It appears they were considering a repainted G1 Omega Supreme and a Baroness & Ravage combo pack. To view their images of what could have been click here!

Naturally much more interesting to Joe fans, with only 2 TF items; well, more if you count each of the multiple takes on Ravage. There actually was a statue released of Baroness taking Ravage for walkies with a spiked collar, wasn't there?

The Omega Supreme repaint is a tad puzzling: is his tan tank mode supposed to look like the Mauler MBT? And speaking of the Mauler, is that what got repainted into the Cobra tank called...The SHREDDER? The Hell?!? Was Hasbro also considering a Ninja Turtles crossover, or just trying to f^@# Playmates out of a trademarked name?

Cobra's Rolling Thunder-esque transport looked cool too, but I'm not sure about the aircraft carrier; Joe fans might have just seen that as a lame attempt to recapture the glory of The Flagg, a toy too big to reissue.

No other TF stuff unless...well, I know Overkill was also the name of the BAT commander starting a few years after the debut of Slugfest's Ceretorsaurus pal, but I almost want to believe that some of the extra limbs stored in this guy's base might have been a tad blue and saurian...

And in the third pic, is that seriously concept art for...Serpentra? Made from the CIA DNA of history's greatest female leaders, like Catherine the Great, Cleopatra, and Queen Victoria (to give her werewolf strength)? I'd seen custom figs of such a character, but had no idea Hasbro was toying with the real thing!

Yes, it was an amazing statue. I'm pretty sure it got a very limited release, so it's pretty hard to come by.

Nope, it was cancelled.

I like that Ravage and Baroness set, that Ravage looks awesome. also I think that Omega Supreme is interesting.
I would like to know when these where supposed to be made, early '90s like that transforming tank? Or are they more recent?

Still don't understand what they are waiting for with the crossover. Transformers can merge with Wolverine but not G.I. Joe?

The Baroness/Ravage two pack would've been awesome maybe hasbro will make it one day since it can fit in either toy line, if ravage transforms it can be in the generations line (or what ever its called next). cant believe they were thinking about making a new flagg, could just imagine what it would cost in this day & age (especially if it was a tru exclusive, damn tru & their price gouging).

According to the post on HISStank's site, it's the TF people that are holding up a crossover, as the Joe team is all for it. Considering the popularity of HA, I can't imagine what the problem is. They said before it was because the two lines were never popular at the same time. RTS and POC both seem to be raking it in this year, Hasbro. Come on guys, give us our crossover of awesome.
