Not a NFL fan, and I'm Canadian (I do shamelessly always bandwagoning the Montreal Alouettes for the CFL playoff though). So these are not what I care about even though I did play the sport for 2 years back in my high school days. I'd be more interested in NHL hockey helmets.

Gotta say, for a helmet-formers the mold is rather well engineered and comes out as normal a bot as can be. Tons better than those mask helmets in ROTB.

Is Habro gonna release a crossover for every NFL team?

Rev up those engines, collectors!

Seibertron.com is hitting the starting line today with two brand new Transformers Collaborative galleries that blast iconic Hot Wheels designs into robot mode for the first time in a turbocharged crossover between Hasbro and Mattel. These figures capture the spirit of classic die-cast legends while adding the mechanical flair only Transformers can deliver, and our latest galleries put both racers under the spotlight with full high-resolution coverage.

First up is Bone Shaker, one of the most recognizable Hot Wheels cars of the modern era. Known for its open-frame body, exposed engine block, and trademark skull grille, Bone Shaker rolls onto the Transformers track as a Deluxe Class figure that converts into the original 2006 Hot Wheels rat rod. The figure comes armed with a stick shift mace, a fun nod to the car's old-school custom build aesthetic. While he is officially marketed as an Autobot, his sculpted attitude, color scheme and overall look feel right at home next to some of the more intimidating Decepticon designs. Our gallery includes comparison shots next to Megatron as well as the G2 Laser Rods, highlighting just how naturally Bone Shaker fits into a darker, more aggressive display style.

On the other side of the track comes Twin Mill, a Hot Wheels legend whose twin exposed engines have defined high-performance fantasy racing for more than 50 years. His Transformers version stays true to the original 1969 design with a sleek profile, two massive velocity stacks, and bright racing colors. The Deluxe Class robot mode features arm-mounted engine blasters and attachable exhaust fire blast effects, giving Twin Mill the kind of track-ready energy that feels straight out of a Hot Wheels commercial. His bold blue color scheme also carries a familiar flair for Transformers fans, creating natural comparison moments in our gallery with RID Side Burn and even Optimus Prime.

They've released so many crossovers that you can make mini teams now. I think Bone Shaker would look alright next to the Universal Monsters line or the Ghostbusters (or both). And I'll put Twin Mill right next to Sonic.

I think Bone Shaker's gallery wins out over the two because you have him right next to the Laser Rods. Not many people can do that.

Thanks, Gauntlet101010!

And right before that photo, G2 Electro broke while I was carefully transforming him. The Ace Hardware Lube-E was still doing its magic on the gold plastic and he transformed with ease, until I got to his right leg and the silver plastic ball joint cracked. That was nit the part I was expecting to break. I Macguyvered his right hip with some of my daughters clear elastic hair ties to pull off the shots with a broken Electro.

Ouch, that's tragic. Are you gonna try to get a new one or accept the loss?

I think i will try to replace the leg at some point or I might get an extra to keep in each mode. Haven't decided yet. Might just depend on what I come across.

I'm hearing talk of a Batmobile crossover. Seems an odd one, but they did KITT so I guess as long as there's a car mode there's a way.

The only anniversary that comes to mind is the 1966 Batman movie with West as Batman, who is also in the Batman tv series.
