If it doesn't come with a volleyball BotBot partner, then someone at Hasbro just isn't doing their job to the fullest.

At first I saw the thread title and thought it was a fanfic idea.
Somehow I see this being repurposed by a lot of people as Gobots Leader 1, especially if the pilot helmet comes off. Is this a retool of one of the MP seekers or Leader Jetfire family of molds, or is it totally new? I don't have either to compare to.
None of this tempers my serious disappointment on the cancellation of the Crossovers/Loony Tunes line. Just because it never actually existed and I made it all up doesn't take the sting out at all.
Maybe they cancelled it as the toys kept failing the drop test off the cliff.

I have never watched Top Gun (clips I've seen make it look awful) and am not a Tom Cruise fan so this is a pretty uninspiring follow up to the Ghostbusters crossover figure for me.
It's really gonna come down to what the Robot mode looks like if I'm gonna care. Can't tell enough from the box pic.
-ZacWilliam, if the robot mode is really cool sure, if it's not that's an easy pass.
Ever wonder about the speed of Turbofoxes?

It better have the electronics needed to play the entirety of "Danger Zone" over and over and over and over (just like the movie).

I think the concept of being educated and being able to educate is something that more people need more of in their lives.
No, we don't all know everything but we should spread and share that what we do know.
If I'm consistently misspelling a word, I would want and expect people to correct me as should I imagine all decent people who know the value of good literacy.
Its just arrogant laziness to know you're spelling a word incorrectly and not correct yourself or ignore the advice when people do tell you how to spell a word correctly.

Maverick will definitely be a bit more tempting for me now. I wasn't too interested in Ectotron since his vehicle mode ends up way too big compared to mainline stuff, but jetformers are always wildly out-of-scale anyway. 
Anybody figure out what figure Maverick might be remolded from? The box art gives him a rather movie-ish look, but the only large recent movie jetformer I can think of is Starscream.

I don't really think Ectotron was remold, he just reused some of the engineering from Hot Spot.
Perhaps that was more hassle than it was worth here and this is an entirely new design.
I like it so far. It'll be interesting to see the robot mode fully, but he looks pretty cool and like he'll slide in as an original character Autobot nicely.

Studio Series Blitzwing is a possibility, but any part re-use might be pretty minimal. I think we'll have to wait to see a pic of the actual toy in robot mode.

Maverick's cool and a definite buy, but probably would be more "wow" if Transformers didn't make F-14 and F-14alikes every other week.

I suppose that's possible. The movie lines aren't normally allowed to be retooled into non-movie toys (or at least it's financially unattractive for Hasbro to do so without giving money to Paramount), but Top Gun is also a Paramount movie so maybe they've done a deal here.

They didn't even make this on purpose. One of the designers just sat down to watch Top Gun and found it in his hands afterward.
Anyway, Top Gun might not have been high on anyone's "crossovers wanted" list (though I have a T-shirt that proves it isn't entirely unconsidered) but it's certainly a well-remembered property strongly associated with a specific vehicle. Nice to see that crossover toy logo really was a harbinger of things to come.

Still, Equestria Girls WAS a decent seller and we were able to ship Kiss Players off to Japan so no one noticed, but THEN..." -from The Stuff That Got Kup Institutionalized.
