Transformers x Uncanny X-Men Collaboration Figure Ultimate X- Spanse Revealed

This thing looks amazing, but that name has got to go.

The X-Men cartoon was how I was introduced to that franchise, so this hits all the right buttons.

X-Pance ... yikes. They could have done better.

Psylock is a popular X-Man, but she didn't have a strong presence in the show. But I guess they can't represent Storm, Jean Grey, or Gambit very well.

The figure looks great. The one image looks terrible, lol. This looks like it'd go well with the Marvel "Transformers" from back in the day .... if I had any of those.

there are parts of him that scream ss jetfire. mostly the wings and the panels over his shoulders. neat that he looks like a mashup of cyclops and wolverine. still would have liked to seen the one from the comics though

I agree the name is dumb. I get they're trying to incorporate terms from the mythology into the name, as they did with Ectotron and Gigwatt, but c'mon.

Call it Blackbird or Jetwing and be done with it.

I just realized it comes with a third effect that simulates the 'butterfly' effect Psylocke would have going on when she used her powers. Man, this is a plate of steamy, delicious nostalgia

I was hoping to see a pic of the "butterfly" effect as well! But yeah, having Wolverine's claws, Psylocke's psi-blade and Cyclop's visor? I could NOT resist. I figured there might be little Xmen characters included -- making it Wolverine and Sabretooth? I seriously could NOT say no lol

The other name for the Blackbird is "X-Jet", that too would have been preferable.

Weird that the ...unusual jet design, isn't the same as the design on the Crossover logo though

Honestly, it's the "Ultimate" part of the name that's the most dumb. Had it been "X-Spanse" by itself that still would have been silly but we could have written it off as part of the 90's charm. Altogether, though, the full name of "Ultimate X-Spanse" is rather X-cessive.

And, really, what does the word "expanse" even have to do with the Blackbird? There are many other more fitting "ex-" words that they could have used for the "X-" pun.

I'm down for this. Some of the parts look familiar though.

That's because it's a remold of SS Jetfire.

I see. That's why it doesn't look like a Blackbird design regularly used in X-Men.
This is a huge pass for me. An awful design all round. I've been a huge X-Men fan for decades and this is something I wouldn't waste money on.
