If we get the Enterprise, we need two versions: One that's it's own character, and one based on Fort Max from the comic crossover. Or maybe just make it a "Headmaster" in the vein of Nitro Zeus and have the Enterprise's standard head be like Nitro Zeus' with it being non-transforming and include a Cerebros head that transforms and can be used as Fort Max's head

Very cool ideas. Would you be opposed to it being a brand new character? I've noticed we've gotten all new characters for these crossovers. Would be cool if a Klingon ship was used as a decepticon or maybe a Romulan ship seeing as how it's more in recent memory I suppose. The possibilities for this line are endless.

Aaron Archer said last night on a Livestream that he floated this idea in 2006.

I wouldn't be opposed to an entirely new character (part of why the reason I love this line is because it's new characters). I probably could have worded it better, but I was suggesting a head that would serve as the new character and never need to be removed for transformation because that specific character doesn't do the headmaster thing, but then Hasbro would include the option of doing the Fort Max from the comic by including a Titanmaster that would replace the standard head. Sorta like how the include alternate heads with the Marvel Legends figures.

To continue the comparison to Nitro Zeus, it'd be like this is the Enterprise: But this would be Fort Max:

The collaboration series as a whole. He'd posted it in the live chat of the slag podcast. Man was ahead of his time.

It would be a nice tribute to Leonard Nimoy, and his work as Galvatron and Sentinel Prime

- The Enterprise
- A Borg Cube
- The Tardis
- A Dalek
- Burton's Batmobile
- Adam West's Batmobile
- the Thundertank
- Battle Cat (think Beast Wars)
- Robocop's car
- the Party Wagon

Yeah, the Thundertank, Battle Cat, and Party Wagon aren't at all likely. But it's a wish list.

Fortress Tiberius would be cool (even if I'm a Next Gen fan, that crossover was cool), but I don't the design is actually workable. I have to admit I'd buy whatever this line comes out with, even if I don't have much connection with the crossed over property.

Not really. Every now and then I'll see what youtubers say about the latest episode.

Don't know how fiction would work for it but transformers based on the vehicles from the Aliens movie would rock.

One can live in hope lol and if more people vocally support it they'd see the numbers and produce it which is why this BTTF has come about imo.

DC is with McFarlane now and spinmaster so not sure how it works there.

Disney now own predator and aliens through the fox merger so anything is possible there as they've close ties with Hasbro.

I think a Star Trek enterprise could be really cool too.

I don't think numbers will save it, unless they just removed the flag.

As for star trek, people do want the Tiberus Maximus from the cross over comic but that transformation is going to be really hard to replicate, they'd be better off going for a new design that works with the ship parts as is.

The General Lee can be made as long as the flag is removed. Hot Wheels or Matchbox tried doing one not that long ago, but was basically told by collectors they won't buy it. By the by, the guy who bought the main General Lee that was used on the show had the flag painted over about five years ago. Many other car collectors offered him double what he paid to preserve the car but he said no.

And how about CW Viper?



Not overt crossovers, but still.

It seems like an incredibly good idea; obviously Hasbro owns GI Joe, and with GI Joe in the midst of a long-needed revival with the 6” Classified series and the Snake Eyes movie in the works, you’d think a GI Joe x Transformers collaborative figure (Snow Cat, Viper, and the SDCC exclusives nonwithstanding) would’ve been on the docket, especially since GI Joe’s biggest focus (besides the characters themselves of course) are the vehicles.
