A third party did a Batwing. Or, well, a Senator Ratbat recolored as Batman.

I heartily agree. Except there are so many to choose from.
Ah yes, MMCs retool.

I think there are three most likely options. 66, 89, and The Tumbler; the most recognizable ones. With 89 being the most likely just since Transformers is an 80's brand, and most collabs have been properties that were popular in the 80's.
It’s also close enough to double as a more detailed Animated series Batmobile, another fan-favorite. Just make the hood turbine a removable weapon or something.

Yeah, '89 would be my preference. There have been a lot of good Batmobiles over the years, but that one hit the public conciousness pretty hard.
100% perfect. Import this directly.
I've wanted a Tumbler Batmobile Transformer for a long time.
Guiledart as the sick triceratops with one big pile of jive blast effects.
Just close that exposed rib up, or hell, keep it open as a homage to the JP toy battle damage gimmick. We know they have the mold as of TLK.
Use these in brown if new tooling isn’t feasible. Maybe retool the spark crystal on the tail underside into a 5mm port for maximum lolz.
Holy crap, this was meant to be a shitpost but this totally works on too many levels that I want it now.
BTW I’m taking offers Hasbro.

AOE, actually. Ten years ago.
Dinobot, transform into dead mode!
That would be fun though.

Make one of those rare cross-faction combiners!
"Dinobots! Insecticons! Merge to form-"
-dead dinosaurs rotting in the sun surrounded by flies-
"On second thought..."

Party Wallop arrived the other day, and he's fine. The accessory storage doesn't quite work with a few of the weapons, which is okay because there are a lot of them, and it's not like I'm going to switch up the colors and weapons much.
They kind of missed an opportunity to do Metalhead, but A) he's a deeper cut than Collaborative usually does, and 2. another head (and probably weapon) would probably be a bit much.
Like, if they sold separate "flavors" instead of the all-in-one approach, sure-- but then the toy would almost have to be smaller for a "collect them all!" approach...
Anyway, a series of design choices and compromises that I'm pretty happy with.

Mine holds the accessories fine. Ok, the Sai can be easy to knock off the hips but everything else is super secure. I'm actually very impressed how well he holds everything, even the alt head pieces.
He's a little kibble-ish but not horrible really. Overall I like him.
I may have ordered a Power Rangers/Turtles crossover Raph to join these two.
-ZacWilliam, considering Ghostbusters/Turtle Leo to finish off the team.

I can store his weapons pretty easily in both modes, though the robot mode does require some careful handling on where you try to pick him up or manipulate him from, as things can pop off if you grab them the wrong way.
The four heads and staff fit in his backpack, his nunchucks fit in his shoulder panels, the sais can fit on to his hips on on his legs when in vehicle mode, and his katanas can fit on his back, or under the vehicle mode.

I don't have any trouble with any one of his weapons, but he has so many weapons that I find I have to be careful about where I grab him to avoid knocking one off. Nothing I'd describe as a fault in the toy, but still a bit irritating to deal with.
I do find that, even though the katanas should be nominally identical, there's a definite left and right one when it comes to vehicle mode. If I put them in one way, everything lines up fine. If I try swapping them, one of the katanas doesn't quite line up with the slots under the front bumper correctly, causing it to have to bend down. Specifically, I have to attach them with the ejector pin circles face down. It's when they're face up that they don't align correctly. Anyone else run into that?
