Scareglow. I mean I get why they chose him. The ghost thing. But wow, it really doesn't work. Starscream's bright colors just aren't doing him any favors. I think this one is the least successful out of them all. The two these just fight each other.

Now that I'm over my disappointment over what it isn't I think I like Skeltron the most. The clashing aesthetics work the best where where they go all-out on the most bombastic elements of both villains. Namely the cannon. If I were to get non transforming Transformers and had to choose just one of this set, this is the one I'd get.

100% with you. The only one with any appeal to me is Skeletron- everything else seems like a cheap Halloween costume

The problem is who else would have worked.

Clearly none of Sekeletor´s minions work for SS.

Beastman? Triklops? TrapJaw? Merman? Nope....

EvilLyn maybe...


I am calling a Shattered Glass Prime Armor Faker though.

Possibly unpopular opinion: Some cross-overs shouldn't exist.

Wait, are these 2 releases locked away behind a membership wall?

EvilLyn easily, lol. More popular character, both are second in command. And, here, you have two villains with a skull face going on. Why repeat the theme? Although he does glow in the dark, so there's that I guess. And you lose the coronation gear with EvilLyn.

Faker would probably look really good. Blue skin on purple armor. Or blue skin on black armor.

I dunno why they went THIS route, though. Because you're just talking about which character works best mashed up with which character and not about the figure itself. Other crossovers are "character X is now in MOTU." Just make them that. Figure out a reason they can't transform.

Wow - what an eyesore!

Wow.

That is SO much better than a new, unique transforming Transformer figure that actually gets distributed to retail stores.

To be fair these are Mattel figures, not Hasbro's so there was little chance of anything really transforming in this line. They probably will end up in stores, though. We still haven't seen Hasbro's side of this.

I hope you're right with these ending up in b&m stores. It just doesn't feel fair to have the first 2 available & not these.
