Wow, War Machine looks badass.

im diging that punisher

warmachine vehical mode looks good but the botmodes in this series are weak

Aside from the constant Iron Men and Spidermen, I love this line. War Machine looks awesome! And Thing rocks too. Punisher is cool, was really looking forward to him, but it's totally not what I pictured or expected at all.

Ok, just realized the shellformer backpack on War Machine. Egh. That kinda stinks. I dunno, he wears it better than alot of figures.

Hulk is interesting, but I already have Tank-Hulk. If the mold pans out, I might get the Thing version.

I love the bio on the Hulk, especially in regards to giving the Hulk a tank...

The Hulk bulldozer is almost the worst bot mode in the line (beaten just barely by Thor). I have that figure and it's horrid. If they were going to do the Thing I'd rather they had done the tank instead. War Machine looks mis-transformed, but that alt mode is sick. Punisher needs to be a darker black. I'll still take this line over Star Wars TF's anyday.

Good grief, these things look awful. Spiderman is the only one that looks half decent but it also looks as if his shoulders get in the way of the arms.

I must say I really like that Punisher. Wow, I actually said something nice about this line.

Fri Apr 02, 2010 2:25 pm

Crossover toys that look kinda good...
I must be in an alternate universe.

Most of these actually look nice.

Loving the Punisher. The Hummer alt mode in gray and silver just works, though as someone already said, it should be black not gray, but its still very cool. Looks Better than Captain America that's for sure.
I just hope the give him a gun in place of the apparently missing shield tire.

War Machine looks awesome really awesome.

Spider-Man meh, I still don't know why they thought a Spider-Ferrari was a good vehicle for Parker.

The Thing looks interesting. Not so much as Hulk though.

And of course, Human Torch is repainted into ... well ... Human Torch ... while not flamed on. :-?

The Blue and silver work on the jet mode, And its a great Jet mode. Even though I already have the orange version I am so going to buy this one too.

Though I was hoping they'd make it Reed or Sue instead. Heck a translucent Jet plane as Sue would have been nice, could double for Wonder Woman's Invisible jet, for those that want vehicles for their DC figures :grin:

They all look wierd to me. War Machine looks ugly, too man car parts and wierd placements. I want to see a Spiderman that transforms into a spider

News Credits: 226 · Fri Apr 02, 2010 3:53 pm

Tank-Hulk was the best of the first wave I felt.

But for some reason, giving him a bulldozer alt seems to make more sense.

War Machine? Now he should have been a tank.

He does, it shows his gun on the back of the Hulk's card. I'm looking forward to getting the Punisher, Weapon-X Wolverine, and Ghost Rider.

Toy Biz, had a crack at that one back when they were doing the Shape Shifters Line for Marvel characters. It wasn't pretty.

Their crowning moment was the Punisher to Pistol Shape Shifter, where the barrel of the gun actually plugged into his ass, of all places. So you can just imagine what it was you where shooting out of that one.

For Hasbro's attempts it seems they are sticking to vehicles, for now at least.

But having Beastwars under their belt, I would assume Spider-Man to Spider would end up looking like Tarantulas in blue and red.

Ah I must have missed it.... Ah yes there it is. Very cool.

Im having that punisher. I need a Deadpool repaint of the Spider Ferrari.

Yeah. I know its predictable, but I like Deadpool.

Fri Apr 02, 2010 11:14 pm

War machine is such a logical choice for this line.

According to the first round of Hasbro Q & A for this year, both the Punisher and blue Human Torch Marvel Crossover figures have been canceled and will not be released.

News about the Punisher's cancellation makes me a sad fanboy because the Punisher is one of my favorite Marvel comic book characters and I was really looking forward to owning that figure. :-(

Sat Apr 03, 2010 2:12 pm

Most of these have already been appearing in stores. In fact, I recently purchased Bulldozer Hulk, Dragster Spider-Man, black and gray Dune Buggy Wolverine, and Motorcycle Spider-Man (he's a repaint with the blue being more navy than the regular blue it had in Wave 1).

I was going to post it in the sightings, but these have yet to be listed in that section.

Dropped so they can make room for more dammed Iron and Spider Men. >_<!!!! Oh, and for monochrome Buzz Lightyear! Yeah, that one's gonna sell waaaay better than Punisher!

Well I 'm not into the crossover serieses but the Punisher looks good albeit the sculpted skull puts me a bit off....

... And is it me or is it that Spider-man with a new set of decent arms, a new head sculpt and without those webbing grooves could make a decent revamp of Gobots Turbo?
