Got a bit more time to comment on this now. I have to admit, I'm pleasantly surprised by what this is. When rumors of a Hot Wheels crossover were popping up, I 100% expected the usual "normal hot wheels car with a picture painted on the side," basically this:
But what they are making is...
From the Front Page, images of upcoming Hot Wheels Crossover Optimus and Bumblebee!
Optimus for now is just a packaging image and render, but in-hand pictures of an un-riveted Bumblebee toy have also shown up on reddit!
Personally, as a known toy-opener, I would pay more for something still in package, even if the package was in rough shape. Knowing that everything INSIDE the package is still there and in unused condition goes a long way. As said, it may be worth less to an in-package collector than a nice...
Fixed now. Here is what it was if you don't want to go back:
Eh. The series has been going downhill since Live Love Laugh 8.
2Live, 2Love, 2Laugh was the best one.
I hated the characters and hated their heads, but from the neck down, the character models weren't bad. I'd actually love to see a new take (like a Legacy style G1-ification) on their combined ice cream truck mode.
I like the idea, but backwards. I feel like a large, clunky, clockwork, "analog" body would be his old form, and this is his upgrade. A little smoother, sleeker. Cab forward design. Greater capacity to love. 8-track AND cassette. The whole works.
I am enjoying the rock vehicles, but I would also happily take rock animals as well. Something like the old Rock Lords Terra Rock or Spike Stone:
But with a robot mode instead of a rock mode.
But, if they wanted to straight up make a new Fossilsaurus/Rockasaurus, I'd buy it.
Bumblebee may be one I spring for. He surely can't be TOO expensive, and my wife is a big VW person, so it's something we can both enjoy.
Actually, her real life beetle is orange, so if they could do a Volks version of the mold, that would be great.
Dangit, stop making me want to buy this.
Honestly, if the toy-accurate version had been available without the trailer, I probably would have bought it. I already have a perfectly good G1 Optimus trailer, and I didn't want to pay an extra $50 for another one just to get the toy version. Not...
It makes sense. CW Megatron was a good looking design that turned into a pretty functional tank (I absolutely love his moving treads and missile firing gun). They've lost the turret rotation here, but there's already a lot going on inside of him.
