I mean, sure why not? It's as reasonable as any other science-magic in the show.

They can scrunch into most excepting the smaller vehicles: the FANG, original VAMPs, things like that.

I'm in the same boat. I REALLY like the Cybertronian modes and these would've been a far better way to do Siege - but the faces are still too Bay'ish for my preferences. In the long run, I've dramatically cut back on toy purchases in general so it's probably for the best. But if they rereleased...

Yeah... the thing is I enjoyed most of season 1 as a whole - just thought they stunk up the finale. Hopefully this can carry itself all the way through.

First ep is up and I enjoyed it!

TFUinfo has a cool "ID your Unknown Transformer" function which is a neat way to just see what's out there. Select a color and then select the "military" sub-heading and you'll see every vaguely tank-shaped alt-mode out there.

Those characters all had their bot modes adapted to work with the Joe/Cobra alt-modes though; they didn't wear them like a converting cardboard Halloween costume. That's the main issue I perceive most people having with this... it's obviously a cost-saving move resulting in a less than stellar...

Yeah, that's what I thought. Ah well it's for the best.

Whoa - I kind of wanted to do this, but didn't think the two figures were the same size!

I hadn't even thought of that, but with Megatron as a precedent, it's virtually a guarantee that he'll have Beetle feet and chest kibble isn't it? :D :D

I just can't imagine he'll be able to stand up considering the entire gun tub is hanging off his back.

Looking more closely at the pictures, I'm not totally convinced HISSMegs will be quite as big, as it looks like Baroness' legs are slightly bent to fit. They wouldn't need to be in the Joe toy, so maybe it'll be a little smaller.

Makes sense - I presume you missed Action Force then too which is how the UK got the toy back in the day.

Yeah - I think they made the same mistake they did with Star Wars Transformers in that they limited their possibilities by trying to force a G1 Megatron out of a HISS tank, rather than making it Megatron-as-a-HISS-tank. All the great designs from the comics adjusted the bot modes to work with...

No, I know. I guess I'm surprised because there has been enough crossover between the two over the last near-40 years, and the HISS is arguably the iconic Cobra vehicle.

Have you... never seen the HISS tank before? Anyway yeah - could have had a little better alt-mode integration, but it appears to be about "full-sized", so that's pretty big.

I'm sure someone out there has mysteriously had a half dozen "break", so now they just don't allow anyone to do it.

All for about 1% of the price!

Yeah, it seems like the best possible place to release them. Otherwise what else could they come packed with?
