IDW has officially announced that there will be a Transformers and Avengers Crosssover. That is not all! The crossover is due out in July 2007. Here is what IDW postes about the Transformers and Avengers Crosssover:

"New Avengers/Transformers


New event pairs Super Heroes with the Robots in Disguise

Marvel and IDW team up for new action smash-up!

Just announced! Marvel's NEW AVENGERS will be meeting up with HASBRO's TRANSFORMERS in a new comic event sure to capture the imagination and hearts of new and old action fans alike. More news is coming in daily, but the broad strokes have Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man and Wolverine matched up with the AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS! It's sure to be cover-to-cover suspense and action, and anyone could tell you to expect MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE...

Stay tuned for more information, including a quick interview with IDW's own Chris Ryall."

Could be fun, if done well.

[Nemesis_Apoc]

SH*T. this is going to suck 27 kinds of @$$.

[JazZeke]

Oh this should be fun!

I wanna see Wolverine and Grimlock interact with each other, since they're both the team badasses.

[Ultra Markus]

the hulk will destroy all the decepticons.
autobots too if they get in his way

[jgilkinson]

must they always use the phrase more than meets the eye? Anyway Ironman getting a cybertronian upgrade could be cool

[Big Grim]

Could be good. Grimlock and Wolvie? Could be Gold! Plus it'd be nice if Spidey has a feeling about knowing these guys from somewhere. Plus he'd just HAVE to call Megatron Bazooka Joe again!

[Cyber-Kun]

Didn't I say it was going to be the New Avengers?

[Prowl76]

This could be interesting. I know I'll check it out.

[Psychout]

This shouold be worth a read.
"70' foot robotic machine of destruction vs human wrapped in tin"

Iron man wouold be squeezed out like toothpaste.

[emeraldbeacon]

Imagine Megatron's surprise when, after grinding Wolverine under his heel, Logan jumps up and stabs Megs in the ankle...

[Blozor]

I hope it's the classic Transformers and not the movie Transformers.

[ShGarland_1383]

bout time they've decided to confirm it.

[Seibertron]

Now, if only we could get a corresponding toy line or an exclusive Diamond / Wizard figure set since Hasbro is handling the Marvel toy property now. That would be awesome.

[jsmith41]

I would be more interested in Marvel doing the series instead of IDW. Neither way, hopefully it will be quality.

[ShGarland_1383]

I'd like to see that too, Ryan.

[hot rod 907]

I've been waiting for this for years!

[Brakethrough]

Iron Man's going to wind up with confidence issues after this one.

[Liege Evilmus]

Wasn't this reported yesterday?

Still, it's good to know. I wonder if Spidey will remember any of the Transformers. I know it's been a while and he's been busy, but still, I thing it would be great if he came into this recognizing the TFs.

[MaikeruSama]

to bad i dont read comics only manga.

[flashmech]

This could be a good story. I hope it turns out alright. I like the thought of Optimus Prime and Captain America teaming up.

[NuclearConvoy]

...I like the idea of a crossover...but how the feck is it going to work?

[leokearon]

To be honest the whole idea sounds stupid. I can see it now:
Captain America: "Hey Optimus can you help use defeat Kang"
Prime: "Sure!" (Prime shots Kang, Kang is disintergrated)
Prime: "Now you can help us against Megatron"
Cap: "OK" (Avanger charge towards Meggie, Meggie shots all the avangers, avanger comic cancelled)

There's a question and answer thread at IDW if people want to ask stuff:
