The next round of the Hasbro Q&A for Marvel is due Monday, October 5th! So if you have any more lingering questions, get your voice heard!

Marvel Crossovers have given us a green Hulk tank and a gray Hulk tank, what are the chances of a red Hulk tank?
At SDCC there was a green bulldozer on display with the Marvel Crossovers. Is a Hulk redeco planned for the Thing bulldozer? If so, is there any chance that you can share a robot picture of Hulk-dozer?

Bud, you're a mind reader.
I've wanted a red version since the mold was first shown, maybe someday.

Not yet, the estimate for that is next week.
*Edit* Or later this week. The answers have now been posted!

Dear Hasbro, when are you going to finally stop using that horrible Daredevil body mold?

same as last time.
Any chance of seeing some more cosmic characters in the MU universe?

When designing the figures in the Marvel Crossovers line, how much "crossover" is there between the team that normally does Marvel and those normally designing Transformers? Did some team members get moved over, or do you sometimes pop over to the Transformers office and say "er, hi, I need this thing to go there and this thng needs to be one of Galactus's horns. Little help?"

How and why was it decided to utilize ball-jointed hips for the Wolverine series of figures vs the "T-crotch" GI Joe style hips seen in the Marvel Universe figures as the ball-joints at that small of a scale tend to stick and restrict movement? With that in mind, as the Wolverine line slows down due to more and more time elapsed since the film, will some of the Wolverine characters be re-tooled to fit in with the general MU line up (such as Deadpool, Colossus, etc)?

The original Wolverine Origins hip articulation is most likely more expensive and time consuming compared to the Marvel Universe and GI Joe style articulation. Not only do the joints use more parts and plastic, but they also seem to utilize "inset molding" in order to form the joints. That is, they cast the inside of the joint, stick that piece into another tooling and then cast the remainder of the joint around the original piece. Judging by what I can see on the construction, this may be a process that was repeated twice in order to produce one hip joint. Hasbro has come out in the Star Wars Q&A and stated that this type of joint is noticeably more expensive than its simpler counterparts. So with an alternative already being used by other Marvel figures at hand they probably thought it wise to switch over to the Marvel Universe articulation style as a matter of cutting costs.

Except even Star Wars figures don't have the Wolverine hips, they have a different set-up all together.
I wouldn't be surprised that a mini-ball-joint is more expensive, that just makes it even stranger that they'd use it since it's such a pain at that small of a size anyway.
Still, I'm curious to know if they'll be redoing anything released under the Wolverine banner in MU with the better MU hips.
