Transformers Collaborative | Hot Wheels x Transformers

[lastmaximal]

Yup, the Hot Wheels ones come to mind. Technically the TF logo is higher up that the Hot Wheels one for the Prime and Bee (And Track Fleet Op), but it's smaller. And it's a purely Hot Wheels format; the TFs aren't even a special single release, they're part of a wave of a relevant subseries.

If the pattern holds, we may see a TF-heavy one featuring MOTU vehicles as a later stage.

These are certainly interesting because every other Collab seems to be a Transformers product first and foremost that is also some other thing. But these seem like MotU toys first that just have Transformers IP worked into them. The packaging is heavily MotU right down to the Mattel logo getting some space without the Hasbro logo.

It seems like the first of the modern Transformers collabs where the other brand got top billing.

This isn't a problem... but it is interesting.

Yeah there's a VERY good reason for that.

All the Crossovers you are thinking of were all HASBRO toys made to be Transformers crossing over with another property. These are not that.

These are MATTEL toys, made to be He-Man figures crossing over with another property, in this case Transformers. As in previous lines for MotU Thundercats and Tmnt. Which were all like this line: He-man figures of the other lines IP.


-ZacWilliam, It maters what company is making the toys, what line is doing the crossover

 

[Platypus Prime]

"Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword and said "BY THE ENERGON OF GRAYSKU-"
*Adam is buried under a mountain of Energon Cubes*
*Skeletor enters, looks at the pile and the twitching arm and leg sticking out from under them.*
"Ah...Um....You win this time, He-Man! But I'll be back!...or...something..."
*Skeletor slowly exits stage left, clearly with no idea what he is supposed to be doing.*

-On the bright side, Adam didn't get hit by lighting this time, I've always wondered, what if that's NOT part of the Transformation, what if he's just REALLY unlucky when he keeps holding up that sword...?

Or just holds up his hand in stormy weather...

So, I saw a discussion elsewhere about the new Seaspray toy, how it's in toy colors and there's a hope/likelihood it'll come in toon colors. Great and all, but...

I'd love to see some new G.I. Joe x Transformers Collaboratives, but not the way they've been doing them.

One reason I liked Seaspray was because he was so close to a G.I. Joe toy I actually owned as a kid, the Killer WHALE.

I'd love to see the new Seaspray retooled a little to make a transforming version of that.

That's just for starters, but it's late, so I'll leave it at that for now.

I've been pretty won over by the Joe x TF figures, but the size and price is still a limiting factor in how much I can buy.

I've said for a long time that Hasbro ought to reimagine TF altmodes to be Joe and Cobra vehicles. Even if they come out first in traditional TF colors, with the traditional Joe colors as a future redeco option, I think it would be a viable initiative once the current Cartoon/Toy accuracy push runs its course.

Same. I appreciate the premise of compatibility with actual Joes, but they're just too big.

A MicroVerse-style Joe line with compatible Transformers, some of whom are Joe/Cobra vehicles? That's right up my alley.

Hasbro could use the same scale as the current Star Wars vehicle line, even.

 

[wonko the sane?]

I've made the argument before: there are a fair number of joe vehicles which could probably be well rendered in voyager or even deluxe size and would still work. Trouble bubbles, motorcycles, that stupid serpentor flying snake thingy. Make Seaspray a SURC. There are options.

 

[lastmaximal]

That stupid Serpentor flying snake thingy is precisely what I want from this.

 

[wonko the sane?]

This will never happen BUT...

In the "determined to rule the world" trade, on the second page: there's a tank tracked K-car. I want THAT.

Didn't Red Green build that once?

 

[CoffeeHorse]

You might be thinking of this one.

 

[unluckiness]

They could always bring back the military green RTS Seaspray repaint back.

 

[Sciflyer]

That RTS Seaspray - in both decos - is a thing of magnificance.

Got to this late so someone already brought up the Hot Wheels toys; but Jada Toys put out a non-transforming red Ecto-1 with the transformers symbol on it, as well as non-transforming Optimus Prime in ecto-1 colors.

Hell, there was even a TF themed My Little Pony crossover, complete with the autobot symbol as a cutie mark.

Twice, even.

 

[Agent X]

Only one of those were actually made.

And how was it called "My Little Prime" and not Optimare Prime"?

 

[wonko the sane?]

My niece gave me that second one for a christmas gift... last year? Year before. Something like that.

She a sweetheart.

Hasbro doesn’t make Micro Galaxy Squadron, that’s a Jazwares thing. The smallest Star Wars toys Hasbro makes (ATM) are the 3.75” Epic Hero figures.
