I have it and unfortunately, no.
But i think that's an easy mod to make.

I'd like to learn how to scratch and paint, I've never made a custom, but I have ideas. And thanks for answering, no-one would respond wherever I asked. I was thinking of getting a snow cat and repainting it for a custom G.I. Joe crossover. Shouldn't be too hard. I've also seen great customs of energon snow cat from siege ironhide.

Appart customizing our own X-Overs, there is one official I'd like to see but it would only be possible as a HASLAB project:

USS FLAGG AS METROPLEX.

Same size as the original vintage Flagg. Cone with 5he "captain" Joe. Transform into METROPLEX.

I'd rather it be Broadside personally...and see if there is a way to work that third mode in there too. With a figure that big, it shouldn't be a problem... :-P

That 3rd mode would be obligatory hot garbage like the G1 and the TR versions.

Regardless, I think I overestimate Hasbro's logic regarding these X-Overs. Based on Megs and Bee, a USS Flagg would most likely be Arcee or Cliffjumper.

that's what I was thinking. Maybe an oversize ko of broadside that removes the plane mode engineering to improve the ship mode, and (maybe) resembles metroplex in robot mode. For now you can stick with the tr broadside, I believe there are labels available to make it into U.S.S. flagg.

I was also thinking, a combiner wars onslaught with a new head and hot spot toes in green can stop you from buying that 3rd party optimus rolling thunder. I think it would work very well.

But how would they fit a G.I. Joe figure into that? I think we're past the point of simple repaints.

Other than a Hiss Tank, the Joe vehicles I'd want would be way too expensive. The only one I actually had back in the day was a Cobra Condor - https://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/89/condor/. I could see Jetfire doing that justice. Mainly for the color scheme.

Cobra Rattler would be great too https://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/84/rattler/. Cobra just has the better vehicles.

I think Ironhide as the H.A.V.O.C. would be prime. And Skywarp as the Cobra Night Raven.....

Too logical.

The H.A.V.O.C. would be Optimus Prime.
The Cobra Night Raven would be Shockwave.
And while we're at it, Starscream as the Mole Pod.

Because F you, throw dart at 2 boards. One is the vehicle, the other is a "main 5" character. That's how it works.

All right, I'll dot the I and cross the T.

Answer me this. Megatron as the grunt HISS. Bumblebee as a dune Buggy.
Does those altmodes makes sense for any of these characters?

They took some random vehicles and X-Overed them with one of the main 5 TF characters. Logic be damned. So don't be surprised if you see Optimus Prime as a motorcycle.

Clear enough?

Megatron as a H.I.S.S. makes sense. Bee was Goldbug in the old x-over comic (g2), but then again megatron was camo.......

Based on recent history, yes Megatron as a HISS makes sense. There are no other Cobra tanks and Megatron has been a tank for the last few Geewunnish offerings, which this is. Bee as the buggy, does NOT make sense unless you consider that, currently, Bee is the primary character of Transformers. It started in '07, then he has essentially been the primary character of each of the last two animated series and looks like he will be again in the upcoming Earthspark series.

There's some more "mighty" vehicles Megs could have been but the HISS is more iconic so I can forgive it. Plus he come with the Baroness so hell yeah!

But that Bee. WHY BEE? Because Beach comber is a "no-name nobody that doesn't sell". Corporate logic. Plus that bot mode have kibble cancer all over his body. Hard pass.

Still, I wish both sell like hotcakes so that a 3rd and 4th Joe X-Overs come. Just to see what other mad combinaison they'll come up with.
