Ohhh, another one! I'm down for these wacky crossovers.

Terrible name, though. Come on, crossover guys, you can do better. The Jurassic Park guys have the same naming problem.

Im too lazy to figure out images to jpegs.

the decepticon symbol is done really well on the treads covering. Will deffinitely fit in as a dark energon miner or something for those not fussed about the monster mash up look.

Oooohh interesting. does that mean we'll be getting TR Wolfwire for the Wolfman?

They could provide 2 Titan Masters to make him got from human to Werewolf.

I wonder who they could use for the Mummy and the Creature?

Wouldn't a further retooled Buzzworthy Fangry make more sense as a Wolfman?

A HEAVILY retooled Siege Chromia would be a good base for the Mummy, the alt mode is basically a sarcophagus on wheels. Or maybe a Fosilizer? The last two we got were absolute disasters so I'd prefer they left those molds alone. Or wait, retool Shrapnel into a scarab! There's your answer!

The Creature, maybe retool one of the Selects Seacons? I'm thinking Skalor.

maybe studio series cross hairs as invisible man, make his junk look like the coat and even more transparent plastic to make the fearful worry.

Clear plastic, now THAT's scary! That's not a bad idea though, maybe go with bandaged face and sunglasses.

I can see Chromia as the Mummy, but the retool would need to be really heavy.
Fangry on the other hand does not strike me as a good Wolfman. The original was more Man than Wolf, and those scrawny chicken legs on Fangry simply don't work for me.

Creature I don't know, we have not had sea creatures since the Select Seasons, so yeah makes sense, but don't think Skalor works, I think Overbite works better with a retooled shark head. Though they would need to remove all the combiner bits.

I was thinking more werewolf than Universal Wolfman, but I guess that does miss the whole point.

I like Skalor just because his angler fish head already kinda looks like the Creature.

Preorders are up for the Frankenstein's Monster for most independent Canadian shops as well as Gamestop. This time around, the thing is at a much more normal 48$CAN instead of Dracula's initial 80$CAN.

Voyager price for a special retool of a deluxe in a premium box make much more sense than LEADER price.

You mean Gill-Man? If you're going to shorten the Creature from the Black Lagoon, best to go with Gill-Man. Just saying "Creature" can cause a bit of confusion for people who've read the book for Frankenstein.

If we had a full-size Submarauder that would be an obvious choice for Gill-Man. As it is... I do feel like Skalor could be a good fit. If they're willing to dig out old molds, Energon Sharkticon could work.

Dunno how I feel about Impactor for Frankentron. It's not that he's bad, but perhaps one of the Weaponizers would have been more fitting?

The Mummy, now, that's a tough one. Is there a Modulator that could conceivably be reshelled as a sarcophagus?

Isn't Studio Scourge about the right shape for a sarcophagus? It's very shellformery too. Maybe they could get it to look right and that head to flow.

That would have been a fun mold for Dracula, but not the ultimate one. Dracula does not change into a coffin after all... Neither does the Frankenstein Monster in a tank.

I think this line will use only DELUXE molds. So, speculate all you want, but only the deluxes are allowed.

He could be reshelled as a sarcophagus, sure, but the way his transformation works you'd end up with a winged Mummy. Plus, as Kanra said, they might be averse to using anything beyond Deluxes for this.

I mentioned before that Seige Chromia forms a nice box shape almost the same size as the bot mode. Plus it's a skinny bot mode so it would make for a nice boney mummy.

Using the Siege Chromia mold as a base would be a great idea. The challenge would be to find a way to deal with the resulting backpack.

Still, as seen with Frankenstein, a Mummy could very well be a remold of Trailbreaker that transform into a jeep. ლ(◔ω◔ლ)
