Nope, this is not an April Fools joke that is 15 days late. Our insiders overseas have informed us that Takara and their line "Disney Label" has now become defunct. The line produced three molds, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Buzz Lightyear. Each of these molds had two different repaints, monochrome, and a holiday repaint, Halloween for Mickey and Donald, and Christmas for Buzz.

Now with one cross-over over, comes another. Our informants suggest that Takara and the well-known company Sanrio have agreed to form a partnership. Sanrio owns characters such as Hello Kitty and Keroppi. The first toy is said to be Hello Kitty, and transforms into a white convertible. An announcement will likely be made in the next few months concerning this new cross-over. However like all things, take it with a grain of salt, as this isn't exactly the most lucrative thing Takara could do with the Transformers license.

So much for those Gargoyles cross-overs i was wishing for. I wonder if we'll see a pure anime inspired cross over line, outlaw star tfs would kick ass.

Badtz-maru! Transform!

Ya know, I wonder if Takara has ever looked at one of Hasbro's licenses for a partnership… I don't know, maybe G.I. Joe!!! :BANG_HEAD:

Imagine in scale TFs for G.I. Joe & Cobra… =P~

Oh, this will SO be the spark of controversy and outrage momentarily. :lol:

Before it all kicks into overdrive, I will make something perfectly clear to all those who are going to start spouting tantrums of hatred and rage:

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BUY THESE!!! NO ONE IS OR WILL FORCE YOU TO! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, SIMPLY DON'T BUY THEM, JUST IGNORE THEM, AND GET WITH YOUR LIFE.

There, now let's see that wave of hatred that should come about any moment now.

I was truly hoping for Pokeformers.

But yeah, this HK-convertible is Arcee... I think.

Can't they just focus all this extra money on useless crossovers into Kotobukiya so they can give us the remaining 4 FF XIII Eidolons?

Unless Hello Kitty turns into a freaking amazing Neo-G1 Arcee I will probably just laugh at it and not buy it.

Or I might buy it to fuel fandom rage.

We just have to face the fact that this event will most likely happen because we as a fandom don't have enough things in the franchise to be controversial about.

Can I bring FIRRIB into this?

Hello Kitty Transformers? Hasbro, please counterattack with My Little Pony:FIM Transformers.

This reminds me of the RadiaCar Robo from Gekisou Sentai Carranger.

That looks 10x better than those Disney monstrosities in the lead.

And while I've been a TF fan since 1984 I've not always been totally devoted and up on all the minutiae (and I'm new to the boards here)…

What is FIRRIB? :???:

I'll buy it if it's a maximal.

Sounds awesome. If only for the LOLs.

They should do a Barbie line, like the Star Wars and Marvel crossovers. Barbie's Dream Car transforms into a large Barbie avatar for her to ride around in, Microman-style. Or Cabbage Patch kids, which transform between little kids and their cabbage attack mode (think the rolling Star Wars Episode 1 attack-bots).
