New Images of the Newly Announced Takara Godzilla X Transformers Crossover Figures

While I do like the decos for the figures themselves, I can't help to think they could have done a whole line of figures for a crossover from the Kingdom line; Rodan from Terrorsaur, Speiga from Blackarachnia, Baragon from Tazmania Kid, a King Ghidorah Megatron from Dragon Megatron, Godzilla Optimus from Kingdom Megatron, Anguirus from Rhinox, etc. There would have to be some remolding, but the potential is there. Even Megatron Mazer tank would've been nice. As you can guess from my handle on this page, I've been hoping for a crossover of these two properties for quite a while. This doesn't quite scratch the itch, but as I said further up I do like the colors on the molds. I just hope there's more in store.

T-Spark Shield D Prime - I love this! Diaclone is definitely an after thought here, I'm sure this is something Takara Tomy had designed long ago and just been waiting for the right opportunity to arrive (probably why he looks like Leobreaker). Really excited for this one!

Godzilla junk - Another Takara Tomy cash grab where they literally slap a log on existing figures with a new coat of paint. It's also weird that they chose to give a Megatron x Godzilla figure the most placid facial expression this side of the Lost Light. He should be full of rage not looking like he's trying to read the menu at McDonalds from the back of the line. Sadly I'll be getting both of these because I'm a mold completionist and l like both of these molds so I'm the problem...

Macross 7 - This feels weird to me since these already have bot modes. Here's what the VF-19 looks like, it's nothing like the silhouette which means they're probably just repainting an existing figure (heavily retooled Legacy Needlenose maybe). Might get it, gotta see it first.




Monster - No idea, probably going to be a transforming Rathalos. I haven't touched the series since the first game on the PS2 so I may pass, but a transforming dragon toy would be hard to pass up no matter what franchise it's attached to.

The Optimus is an easy pass.

They could have made an effort to make some heavy remoldings on that "Godzilla". As it is, it's just Megatron cosplaying as Grimlock. Still, I really, really like it if I just conveniently ignore the "Godzilla" name.

As for the TransZoidClone, at least he's original.

I liked it more upon the alt mode reveal :/

Grimlock is the perfect base for Godzilla. But the legs and arms should have been remolded to be much thicker, the tail should have been longer, a new dino head, plus the dorsal fins are missing. The remoldings on the bot are nice, but there's zero efforts on the dino.

That's why for me, that's just "Beast Megatron, G1 style."
NOT Godzilla.

Will these new X-Over figures be something-or-other exclusives, or wide releases?

If Prime is supposed to be Kiryu

I'll stop you right there because after reading Takara's blurb on this set, turns out he isn't supposed to be Kiryu, he is supposed to be Optimus Prime. Same with Megatron. They are their transformers selves, but have taken looks and powers from Godzilla lore.

I'll do the write up now.

whew!, Things I don't need to spend money on.

Well, that Prime maybe.

Really milking that Laser Prime mold aren't they?
He's catching up to Siege Megatron fast.

And I'm here, still waiting for a Laser Magnus repaint.

Also, I know I've seen that head before somewhere, and it wasn't a Megatron hmm.

Zoids!?

Takara remembered that IP?

If we're doing that crossover, I want a Deathsaurus Deathsaurer!

I think it's worth a buy regardless but I question the decision surrounding it. The robot mode head would have been fine staying the same but I believe a remolded dino head would have went a long way toward creating a look that resembles Godzilla. I actually like the Laser Prime deco.


And finally a Zoids crossover. It's like my head canon coming to life.
