Disney Label Transformers Out, "Sanrio Label" Transformers In

Fanrage in 3...2...1...

Personally, I'm laughing my ass off at this!

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!!! Imagine in scale TFs for G.I. Joe & Cobra…

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

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.

how about some GIJOE crossovers like from the comics
we see crossovers from everything else its about time for GIJOE
I know that takara doesn't do GIJOE but i am tired of hearing transformers
being crossed with other things besides GIJOE

OH MY GOD! I will buy a Hello Kitty Transformer! Just thinking about it is giving me the giggles.

Remember when I used to joke sarcastically about hello kitty transformers on the disney label threads ???

I WAS ONLY JOKING !!! WHO TOOK THE IDEA SERIOUSLY ???



Somebody needs to get pimp slapped...

OMG these are so cutesy wootsy tootsy footsy bootsies i just want to eat them for breakfast!

not

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.

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

My girl would kick asses to buy such a thing. Tread lightly.

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.

Greatest crossover ever.

You may not.

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?

Frenzy is red Rumble is blue

I myself believe the opposite

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).

*gulp* You gotta be kidding me! I love Transformers, and my wife loves Hello Kitty! The best of both worlds?

Well, now I just feel dumb…
Topic-wise, thought is was some obscure and hated sub-line.

Better yet… both.

CURSE YOU TAKARA!!! CURSE YOU TO THE PIT!!!

I'm actually surprised this hasn't happened sooner. It's a decent enough idea but wasn't hello kitty at the height of it's popularity like ten years ago? This idea is a little late i would think. Maybe i'm wrong?

This crossover makes more sense to me than the Disney crossover line though..... THAT SUCKED! IMO

"Facepalm" Unicron take me now!!

Ditto.

My two daughters who are 6 and 4 saw the picture and was like hello kitty hello kitty and then I told them that they are going to possibly make a hello kitty transformer and they were extremely excited as you can imagine little girls would be. They are like "daddy, you got to get one for us because this is for girls, not for boys!" They want this toy and I'm probably going to get it for them!

ok thats weird more strange than my littel pony crossover

To the few mentions of Hello Kitty maybe not the best idea, either as a company/monetarily, I can attest that Hello Kitty is a very strong seller where I live and work at. Hello Kitty is actually probably the most consistant seller I've seen out of all franchises. Granted that means anything from stickers to lipgloss, but as a franchise Hello Kitty seems as strong a topic as ever.

Not sure how this crossover will play out though. I have no further comments to what I've stated so I'll be going *leaves thread*

And now my two cents....I can't say I'm too crazy about this one Takara has chosen. Yeah it could be worse but I'd hate to think how. I feel within the last 2 years (I think) Hello Kitty has gotten a re-boot in popularity so I think the timing is right on. I have a 11 year old niece and I have bought here a lot of HK stuff. It's carried at Hottopic and even Target had a freakin' end cap for HK in their make-up section. Not to mention I saw at Target a blender and a toaster for HK...a freakin' toaster!! Where the hell is my toaster of Megatron's head Takara when you push down to toast his eyes light up red and when the toast pops you hear that classic sound blast from his canon...well Takara?

So that said I think the popularity is there more than most think. Now if she were transform into Ravage looking all white and pink with that bow behind ravage's ear that would be cool looking! Yeah I know the transformation would be from cat to cat but just think. I did like G1 colors of Mickey and I like how Disney paid tribute to a long time favorite. So I just had to buy him leaving it MISB for all to see, but this one I know my niece will think it's totally cool. I may have to buy her 2 to open one and keep the other sealed just like her uncle with his TF's....'nuff said!

Obvious enraged fanboys are obvious. Quit crying into your GI Joes...

Hello Kitty transformers FTW!!!

Who's with me?

EDIT: just read the 3rd & 4th pages of comments and, in answer to my own question, quite a few people are in agreement with me. So, um, aces!

Transformers/MLP crossover? pics? linx? lol!
I blame /co/ for my recent obsession with mlp.
Anyway back on topic.
Hello Kitty eh? ok so what's the big deal? My 5 yr old nearly shat brix when she saw hello kitty on a transformers site. Remember that old saying? "It is a world transformed and nothing is what it seems....." Srsly make a Hello Kitty tf and the whole(well most of) the fandom starts tripping. Can't remember that well but how was the Kiss Players received?

Oh the delightfully wicked kit-bash opportunities that will come from this.
Time to put some Hell into Hello Kitty!

Sorry guys- make fun of me if you want, but I'm getting the Halloween Mickey Prime. First, I LOVE Halloween, second Mickey is AWESOME, and third, if it's there, I'm picking it up on Memorial Day weekend at Disney World when I go with the 501st to help with the reopening of Star Tours. Never been to Disney World before, and I'm excited!

Try Kiss Players, it'll make your mind melt.

Unlike Kiss Players, Hello Kitty isn't some grotesque monstrosity consisting of some sickening pornographic imagery.

Yeah I know that but the way peoples fist are a shaking at Takara for making HK TF's and not gi joe TF crossovers, the HK TF's might as well have some pr0n to go along with it.
Ah well give it time...rule 34 and all.

My girlfriend is going to love these. She's a fan of Hello Kitty, so I hope these turn out neat for her. And secretly, I think that I too, may fall for them. As that is often the way of things.

That's just it right there. THis new crossover is going to bring a lot of new people into the Transformer concept. I Don't know of anyone that doesn't think Transformers aren't cool but they wouldn't ever be interested in buying one.

Hello kitty will broaden the demigraphic i would think. Far more than a Donald Duck TF would and therefore make TF's that much "neater" to some people. I believe more people are into HK than dated Disney characters.

I'd like to see what they will look like in bot mode. They're gonna sell like hot cakes.
