This is just a forum topic about any Transformers crossovers with other shows, or companies. It could range from G.I. Joe, to Marvel Superheroes, and more. I think the most hilarious TF crossover though, is this Darth Vader Death Star. XD

Anyways, keep crafting,

I thought the Star Wars Transformers were somewhat disappointing. I wanted Transformers characters turning into Star Wars vehicles and what not, not Star Wars vehicles turning into giant mechs of Star Wars characters.

In other lines, I have to say, I found it amusing when they brought back the original Jumpstarter design (but new molds) for a couple of Spider-Man toys a few years ago. That was... unexpected.

I'm just wondering when Amazon.com is gonna ask Hasbro to do an Amazon exclusive transformer called "Amazon Prime". XD

I'd like a US release of the Evangelion Optimus crossover figure

I always wanted that Death Star Vader.
However my favorites are my Millennium Falcon combiner, Yoda and the odd ball that is the Spider Man/ Cap combiner gerwalk.

personally i'd love to see a line of Transformers with alt modes ripped from Warhammer 40,000

I still wonder why that War Machine / Iron Man 2 part combiner crossover toy got cancelled at the last minute.

Or why they made an Armoured Spider-Man mould but didn't paint it black & Silver. a pity that as it would have matched the Black Ironman / Warmachine repaint that could have combined with the helicopter so well if the colour's had matched.

I'd say at least for the Star wars one, they had a license to print money... and botched the execution so badly I still wince to this day.

Optimus Prime as a juggernaut assault vehicle!

Megatron as a BlasTech DL-44 blaster pistol and/or hovertank!

The seekers as E-Wings or X-Wings and PROPERLY DESIGNED!!

Bumblebee as Luke's speeder from 'A New Hope'!

And on and on and on... but what we got? Oh dear sweet Primus. :HEADHURTS:

I do get why Hasbro wanted to keep the Transformers Brand separate from the Star Wars one in terms of Transformers Characters. So we got something with crossovers that is more like Animorphs it bares the name but otherwise has little do with it.

The slight issue might be that when you do throw Transformers IP into the mix you get Angry Birds Transformers.

So I will cut them some slack for doing what they did with Star Wars Transformers - I bought those mainly for the vehicle modes anyway and aside from the odd dodgy joint or loose hinge they don't look so bad in retrospect - they were well sculpted and well painted decent size - not to expensive - had some nice packaging and the ones with helmeted faces looked rather like robots anyway.

On the other hand not making any sort of Gi Joe / Transformers toys where the vehicle modes are Gi Joe ones and the characters Transformers ones - is I feel a mistake and i'd like to see them do that one day - even if it is based on some potentially unsatisfactory TF/Gi Joe crossover movie rather than RAH.

I sometimes liken the Generations Voyager Springer mold to the Batmobile: (which I have btw and I love it)

But I think a Transformers figure with the alt mode of the Batmobile from the "Batman Arkham Knight" game would be BOSS! :lol:

I'd like to see some fiction for the Star Wars Transformers. I wouldn't mind if it's in a different universe but if they can fit it in the current canon, that'd be great

Back in the day, I used to collect the original trilogy based Star Wars Transformers. Most of them these days are just in a box somewhere in my folks' basement. But I still have the Death Star one on display. He hangs out with my Masterpiece Decepticons:

It isn't like Prime hasn't sold out before. From my personal collection:

Pepsi Prime (on the right):

Disney Label Convoy:

And of course, there's also the Nike one, the Bathing Ape ones, the Evangelion one, the PlayStation one... Would Device Label Convoy count as an unofficial Apple sell out? And I am sure thre are a few others I am forgetting.

Basically, Optimus Prime believes that selling out is the right of all sentient beings.

You know which one I'd love to see, though? What company is famous for putting out collectable toy trucks every year? Why have we never seen a Hess Optimus Prime! As a fuel tanker, the G2 Laser Optimus Prime toy repainted green and white and with some Hess logos slapped on him would make for an awesome toy!

So anyway, what would this hypothetical Amazon Optimus Prime be? A repaint of an existing toy, or a new mold? And what would his tie-in to Amazon be? A truck with Amazon logos on the side? or something more out-of-the-box? (Or perhaps some more in-the-box thinking? He could be an Amazon shipping box that transforms into Optimus.)

Of the Marvel Crossovers, the Hulk (green tank) and Captain America (Humvee) were simply awesome. The rest I could leave by the side of the road and never look back.

Any news or thoughts that we may see a Force Awakens Star Wars Transformers product line? Or maybe you'd like or love to see one!(I know the majority hated those! But there's bound to be a select few that liked them) so Let's hear your thoughts on this please.

I've seen those before, I just think "Amazon Prime" would be hilarious! :lol:

I was actually thinking of a repaint of Takara's Armor Knight Optimus Prime as a stylized Amazon semi truck. (with a trailer of course)

Does Amazon have semi trucks?

Huh! I see noone's a Star Wars fan on here then?

oh well....

News Credits: 11 · Sat Aug 29, 2015 2:24 pm

I got a Takara Ice Lolly Robot a few weeks ago I guess that is a cross over of sorts.

This still needs to be said(about a thousand times if necessary!) I hope there's a new release of Star Wars Transformers toys, seeing as we've just had Force Friday & seeing the Wave from that! I mean....who wouldn't want a BB8 Transformer?, Kylo Ren Lightsaber Transformer?, Poe's X-Wing?, Rey's Speeder?, Millennium Falcon?(yes I know we got one before, but not one with the new dish on it), or any of the First Order Special Forces craft(including Tie Fighter)?
