Posted by kuhlio Jul 25, 2025 at 8:08pm CDT 16,010 views
Mattel and Hasbro announced at SDCC 2025 the Masters of the Universe X Transformers cross over figures. The two figures that announced are "Bumblebee Armor Man-At-Arms" and "Megatron Armor Skeletor."
These figures are based on the Masters of the Universe Classics 5.5 inch scale that have 16 points of articulation. The figures are made so that body parts can easily be switched between each other. A mini-comic pack in will provide a background story to the crossover, much line the original MOTU line!
The figures should be available Fall of 2025 at $32.99 each.

So not impressed by this. It’s kind of lazy really.

That's a lot of money for what we're getting. The TMNT and Thundercats crossovers came with a lot of stuff and were normal priced (Skell-Ra is $31.99 but he's HUGE). MAA looks like a regular standard figure, he should be $20 at most. Skeletor is more Deluxe (in MOTU terms) but would still be under $30. Hopefully we see the prices even out by release.

Of the two I am only slightly tempted by megatron skeletor- man st arms seems lazy- can only assume there is a heroptimus hiding in the shadows

My two favorite lines, combined together, somehow the sum manages to be less than the parts added together. The Street Fighter/Transformers Crossover was more what I was expecting for this honestly.

Bumblebee armor would get wet in the rain. Man-at-arms would be better off just in his birthday suit.

Not a big fan of Bumblebee-at-Arms but I do like Mega Skeletor. Hopefully there is a small backstory that explains this crossover

Agreed with kuhlio. In fact, this continues a trend of laziness that I've noticed brewing in the MOTUxTMNT offerings I pass every time I'm in Target. In addition to the non-transforming, Bee-At-Arms is almost nonensical. Ironhide-At-Arms would make more sense, while Bee seems like a more natural Orko...no wait, Wheeljack-O inventing new magic spells that misfire would kind of jive. Bumblebee should be mashed-up with Cringer, then powered up into Gold-Battle-Bug when he has the power.

And while Opt-He-Mus is inevitable...Hot Rod would work SO much better. I have believed that ever since I read that first Blackthorne 3D book where Hot Rod was sure Rodimus would show up and save the day. Although we never learned what those "weekend plans" would've been in a proper issue #2, I always pictured him taking out the Matrix and declaring:

"By the Power of Primus, light--"

*SPAKOW!* (blinding flash)

"--Ourrr Darrrrkest HOUUUUURRRRR!"

Then he hops on Sky Lynx's lower half, and...

No, I'm not faulting any official x-over for not adhering to my 5-second fanfic, and I really try not be that guy, but this is gonna' suck briefly, then be instantly forgotten outside of a few wikis. I'll admit, I was never a He-Fan back in the day, but I hope that franchise isn't just plain out of ideas other than crossovers.

Ended up ordering them from Target.com. I had a Circle Reward for 15% off my cart so I was able to get them for $26.40 each. Also grabbed two other MotU figures $16 each, and cancelled my SS86 Wheeljack and Sideswipe and the AotP 4 pack and reordered them for $20 each and $72 respectively. Love those Target coupons. Now I just have to hope nothing gets delayed so they don't cancel them on me.

Today at 9am PST, Mattel is scheduled to open up preorders for a "surprise announcement" for Masters of the Universe collectors. Target has beaten Mattel to the punch and has already opened up preorders for the next installment of the the MOTU X Transformers line. This time it is Optimus Prime Armor He-Man. Like Bumblebee Armor Man-At-Arms and Megatron Armor Skeletor, this figure is a MOTU Classics buck He-Man with Matrix Power Sword, Energy Shield, Orange Energy Axe, and removable faceplate. The Target pre-order is slated for a January release.

For members of Club Grayskull, an announcement of a hero--- and villain was sent out yesterday. Rumors are floating around that the second figure will be the Starscream Armor Scareglow, but no confirmation or official images have surfaced as of yet.

The only thing that runs in my mind right now is that OP got He-man to finally put on some pants. Not even Megatron got Skeletor to do that.

Definitely more for the He-man fans. I think the designers had a lot of fun with this. They went deep in the well if Starscream got paired with Scareglow of all characters.

Still, THE most disappointing crossover for me as He-man was an early childhood fav and I was hoping for something catering to a TF fan out of this.

Mattel's Club Grayskull has posted official images of the Starscream Armor Scare Glow. This figure is part of the MOTU Classic play pattern where parts can be mixed and matched between bucks. The Starscream armor is added onto a Scareglow buck, that according to packaging still has the glow in the dark features. Additional accessories include Coronation gear (crown, cape),and a set of nullrays that will provide Starscream's signature wings.

The figure is currently available for preorder via Club Grayskull at$33.00 ($42.99 if you need to sign up for Club Grayskull) with a release date of May 8,2026. The earlier reported Optimus Prime He-Man armor is also available to Club Grayskull members here with the same price and release date.

Starscream/Scare Glow's price must have been a glitch, it's now the "normal" $33.

Of all the TFxMOTU figures, Starscream looks the most like a kid going to town with a set of Hero Mashers.

Sorry- entirely my bad- Club Grayskull was included as a $10/yr premium. I am not a huge MOTU guy, so I just saw the price on Mattel's site, and did not realize they had already had the membership added onto the price of the figure,

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?
