The fiction has been done so many times, I can't believe we still haven't seen it: A toyline release of Transformers with GIJOE pilots.

A Cobra-Commander/Starscream combination is a must. Hasbro could do Headmasters, Targetmasters, Powermasters, or even just drivers (SWTF style). Here are some other good combos:

Autobots:

Optimus Prime/Hawk
Prowl/Duke
Blaster/Roadblock
Ratchet/Lifeline
Perceptor/Mainframe
Hound/Dusty
Red Alert/Stealer
Arcee/Scarlett
Sideswipe/Falcon

Decepticons:

Galvatron/Serpentor
Starscream/Cobra Commander
Soundwave/Firefly
Pounce and Wingspan/Crimson Twins
Bludgeon/Destro
Shockwave/Dr. Mindbender
Sixshot/Stormshadow

Any other combo suggestions?

I'll second that. I would like to see GiJoe based variations of the Transformers, much like they have done with the Star Wars line.

Curious as to why they haven't done this yet? Oh, well. Perhaps the powers that be will give us what we want. If anything, there are kitbashes of the GiJoe versions. I seem to recall a Prime/Hiss version somewhere.

I'd like to smack the guy at Hasbro who ruined SWTF with that lame idea! I would much prefer the Millenium Falcon transforming into existing or new Transformers characters (like, uh, "Millenium" and "Falcon") than transform into robot likenesses of Han and Chewie.

I much more would have preferred alt versions of existing transformers over star wars characters. Unfortunately, it didn't go that way. Hopefully, they can redeem themselves with this crossover...

Would the Transformers be new molds or existing toys (perhaps repainted)?

I would love to see new molds that transform into G.I.Joe vehicles.

I would love to see the night raven Starscream. I'd be all a drool.

They had a plan for one once:

And if they're like the vehicles from G.I. Joe vs. Transformers(Devil's Due), then I'd be all for it.

Energo snowcat was a near exact copy of a GiJoe vehicle (but I'll let ou guess which one)

I'm all for it. It is certainly an untapped marker, but a much more logical marriage than Star Wars/Transformers.

GI Joe does not have quite the clout that it used to, but the 25th line is proving very popular, so maybe HASBRO could find a way to expand its line a bit. :-?
