and here I was hoping for Christopher Lee, so he can be Count Dooku.
We never got a Count Dooku in the previous Star Wars Crossovers.

One neat idea is to use a G1 Scourge for Robot Mode,with the alternate mode remolded to be a coffin.
But personally,I think they should an Hotel Transylvania Dracula.

So if this figure really sucks it'll be on purpose? Get it... see what I did there... Humor is lost on the young.

Hrmm... This is kind of cool. Also considering the Universal Dracula film is celebrating its's 90th anniversary, hopefully we can get more. This is also the 90th anniversary of Universal's Frankenstein. I wonder however, if this will be some sort of Universal Studios exclusive? (ala the Evac toys, and SS48 DotM Megatron)
I would think Mindwipe retool would be a slam-dunk, but we will see
Frankenstein(1931)-Autobot X
The Mummy (1932) ?
The Invisible Man (1933) -Mirage
The Wolf Man (1941)-Weirdwolf or Fangry
Phantom of the Opera (1943) ?
Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) Submarauder?

Might be thinking too literal on the name, but it led me to immediately think of Cyclonus? He kind of has the right stature in Bot Mode. But as we already know, none of these crossover figures have been retools. So I'll be curious to see where they go with this one. A big fan of Universal Monsters, so this is the first crossover since Terminator (Although I am an X-Men fan, I was never looking forward to X-Spanse) that I'm actually curious about.

Actually, most of the crossover figures have been retools of a sort, aside from Maverick, the odd one out

I could be wrong, but I think the Top Gun Toy was the only one that wasn't an extensive retool...
Ectotron- CW Hotspot
Gigawatt- Siege Sideswipe
X-Spanse- SS Jetfire

They've been 50% retools / engineering sharing and 50% new molds.
Maverick was a new mold.
X-Men was a new mold
GhostBusaters was a retool, or engineering re-use if you will
BTTF was again engineering retool.
How extensive Mindwipe will be retooled or what part of its engineering will be used is the question.

Ironically, Maverick is the only one I've seen in person. So I just assumed they were all the same. Although I did think Gigawatt might have been a Datsun or Battlecharger mold.

Gigawatt was a Sideswipe retool.
Ecto 1 was a massive reengineering of CW Onslaught.
Maverick and X-Panse were new molds.

I disagree. Only thing they share is the blackbird alt mode. And its even a different blackbird design.
There's nothing from SS Jetfire there at all.
If it was that extensive a retool it might as well be a new mold.

X-Spanse reuses multiple vehicle mode parts from Studio Series Leader Class Jetfire. His design and deco is inspired by the X-Men costumes from the 1992 animated series, even featuring Rob Liefeld-esque pouches and a flip-up visor based on that of Cyclops. X-Spanse boasts an impressive range of articulation in robot mode, including a ball-jointed inner-shoulder, a double-ratcheted knee bend, and a slight ab crunch with additional side-to-side.

That one, impresses me. For HasTak to go to such lengths:
Surely it would have been less effort to just make him brand new, like Maverick?

The only thing there that looks somewhat similar are the panels on their backs. Its very much a completely new mold, with new engineering. Minus a couple of shared panels.

Dracula could be a retool of TR Mindwipe.

Interested in the dracula cross over, not too fussed about amazon prime unless he looks like an amazon
rather than just having an amazon sticker slapped on his trailer
