Canon Transformers Crossover Discussion

Postby william-james88 » Wed Aug 03, 2022 9:47 am

Motto: "'till All Are One"
August 10 is shaping up to be a big day for Transformers collectors. Not only will we get the full reveals for some of the upcoming Legacy toys like Blanker and Dead End but we will get reveals for toys Hasbro has not even hinted at. And those are a Revenge of the Fallen redeco of MPM Starscream as well as a brand new collaborative Transformers project where Optimus Prime turns into a new Canon camera. While the reveals are from Takara, the toys themselves are not necessarily Takara initiatives. We know most are from Hasbro, like the MPM line, and it could be that the Canon collaboration is also a Hasbro project. The price point for the Canon crossover Prime figure is rumoured to be around the $150 mark and the preview image was posted by Fat Toys Corner on Facebook.

An Optimus camera? Meanwhile Reflector is in the corner crying.

I get that Prime is the most marketable. Hopefully we'll get a purple redeco of it.

If it wasn't Optimus I'd be more excited for it. It kinda reminds me of the older crossovers, like Captimus Prime, the phone one, or the Nike shoes. I passed on those because they involved Optimus. Ironically he makes them all less desirable.

Definitely agree on most of the crossovers, but PS Optimus and Sega Megatron are very cool!

Would be nice if they give Starscream a complete jet mode this time with some thrusters.

The camera looks interesting.

I have both of those, actually. Mainly because the alt. modes are really cool.

For Megatron it is "MEGAdrive" so it gets a pass. Otherwise the pun is ruined. And I guess he needs an Optimus to go with him.

TBH, though, while it's cool to have TFs of a PSX and Genesis, they're kinda terrible TF toys in general.

I can also understand why the GIJoe collab has Megatron and Bee.

For every single other release it's actually been a real detriment to me buying. I don't really want to have all my collabs with the same red and blue color schemes; to all be Prime.

Not surprised it's Prime...I mean how else would you get buyers to dump 150$ into a camera they'll rarely use and/or transform?
But, still, maybe they'll do a reflector retool to get their money's worth off of this mold. inb4 it ends up being a Megs retool.

I very much doubt that Canon Camera Prime is in any way linked to Hasbro, as it's very much something Takara has done before (Playstation, Bearbrick, pen, TOYOTA FJ Cruiser X, etc). Canon is a Japanese company too.

I prefer them over a lot of the kiddie lines we get (e.g. Cyberverse), plus it's a million times better than 500 releases of Bee... enough with the gd Bee!! :HEADHURTS:

Might be interested in these on clearance maybe. Don't really need another MPM Starscream and Optimus just doesn't look that impressive with very minimum transformation on the sides of the camera. If you tell me it actually works that's one thing, but as is it's very boring and lazy looking.

It makes sense when Canon likely said it had to be Optimus.

Also there is no "I would rather have an MP Reflector" here. That goes without saying, but this isn't preventing that from happening, it isn't even an MP.

Ah come the F on. That thing in bot mode is a huge cube with limbs sticking out. Even in the 1980's with the old film mechanism this could have been made functional. With today's digital camera technology, there is absolutely no excuses for it to be a non-working camera.
