Transformers Collaborative (Transformers X Sonic the Hedgehog)

[Fenix Twilight]

I want to say Transformers x Naruto is the last thing I expected, but then remembered the Evangelion Optimus Prime exists.

I always wanted like a line of mythical beasts but felt dragons or the occasional griffin were all I'd get, so a nine-tailed fox is pretty cool (I also like Naruto so I'm familiar with nine tails). Also it's up for sale, 54.99 for what looks like a deluxe and core toys, is a bit steep for me, but dang do I want that fox.

I can't hear that name with out my brain finishing "the slack-yawed yokel."

Was probably intentional, given that The Simpsons is on Fox.

Thing is the name is "Cletus," but the Fox football robot is "Cleatus" because... well... football cleats.

. Also it's up for sale, 54.99 for what looks like a deluxe and core toys, is a bit steep for me, but dang do I want that fox.

If you look at the Monster Hunter one, which is about $50 for JUST a deluxe; a Deluxe and Core at that price is pretty good.

I know that’s how Kurama is drawn when not powered up but really would have preferred the glowing pupil-less eyes here. The way it is now makes the fox head look more than a bit derpy.

Cleatus!

Take the reel!

That is a good point, as cool as the weapons and sculpt look that's even harder to justify.

I would put my money on the '89 Batmobile, just because of the 80's property synergy. However, don't forget the '66 Batmobile. It's nearly as iconic and fondly remembered, and could provide some interesting body pieces to integrate into a robot mode.

I actually think they'll make a "generic" Batmobile and not link it to any ONE media representation but a general catch all design, not dissimilar to how Spin Master does its assorted Batmobiles.
I'm guessing it'll incorporate influences from Greg Capullo's Batmobile, which is the foundation that many recent iterations have been derived from, though I'm fond of the 1996 one from JH Williams. I'm certain the "bat-ram" front end will be a feature in some fashion. The nice thing about doing a Batmobile is that there have been SO MANY variations, you really can't " mess it up".

The Batman Eternal one seemed like the reference used for some recent toys:

But I'm partial to this 1996 interpretation:

Eh, I dunno. That doesn't seem very on brand for Collaborative, which has so far been riding the wave of specifically using iconic vehicles and looks with their identifying features faithfully represented. Delorean time machine, Ecto-1, TMNT Party Wagon, 90s show Blackbird...

And as much as the 66 isn't "my" Batmobile, I'd prefer that over a more genericized one.

 

[Shadewing]

Yeah, I seriously dount were getting a generic or non-movie/TV show Batmobile. No other Collabs have done that.

 

[unluckiness]

I'd bet on the 89 or BTAS Batmobile. The only real difference is the turbine on the front, and the thinner proportions of those two would lend themselves better to approximating Batman's physique. They could straight up use a variation of the PRID Vehicon transformation and it'd turn out great.

Adam West Batmobile would be great if they leaned into the camp though. Make his accessories The Bomb™, a can of Bat-Decepticon repellant, and a shark-shaped blast effect. Also alternate Batusi hands. And POW BIFF WHAM onomatopoeia blast effects.

what if the nfl collab fig is a titan that turns into a stadium

i mean it won't be, of course, hasbro can be dumb at times but they are not that dumb

but what if

They could retool it as the Kaon gladiatorial arena.

Or vice-versa.

And the Batmobile they should do, but won't, because they're cowards, is the Beyond Batmobile.

 

[lastmaximal]

I would not be averse to a Transformers: Batmobiles subline.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Maybe they could do a Jokermobile too. Joker's at least as iconic as Batman.

 

[Badgertron]

It could also be the bat plane...

Gentlemen, you're all missing the obvious solution:

I was willing to devote exactly 3 minutes to the "digibash" for this joke.

 

[Donocropolis]

Also, not to double post, but spoopy season has reminded me. Weren't we supposed to be getting a Wolfman transformer to go with Dracula and Frankenstein?

Supposedly there was a plan to do 2 more Universal Monster Collabs. Wolfman from Weirdwolf and Creature from the Black Lagoon from Skullcruncher.

Sales on the last 2 may have impacted if the others getting Greenlit or not. No sign of either this year at any rate.

That's right, forgot about Gillman!

Hope those aren't gone forever. I'd love a whole set of Universal Monster Transformers.
