'Bear' could refer to a 'Smokey and the Bandit" collab. Since Hasbro had to get rights from GM for Pontiac in order to do Agent Knight. Well the Bandit was A Pontiac Firebird
Yes that's true but bear is the nickname for police so if it is Smokey and the Bandit, they'll have to do at least Buford T. Justice as his car if not a two pack with him and Bandit. I'd also not be opposed to getting a Snowman as his truck
yeah to clarify according to jtprime17 that was the initial/internal name of the actual figure (guess it's because it sounds like mandalorian) before it got changed to just the name of the starfighter
One of those vacant Hot Wheels Collab listings has GOT to be reserved for the original "TWIN MILL". Given it's historical significance as the brand's first ever FANTASY casting, missing the opportunity to make it a full fledged Transformer would be downright *CRIMINAL.*
I still think they should relaunch KreO with actual transforming Transformers with seating compartments. Big crossover potential with GI Joe, MASK and everything else, at a reasonable scale...
Ok theory time: If they do use the Bone Shaker,they can retool it into one of the Laser Rods, G2 Jolt. Now my reasoning is that if you look at both vehicles,once you remove the "roof",the skull and shrink the exhausts in the front, you have G2 Jolt.
Transformers X Thundercats, both the Thunder Tank and Feliner are just there to be new Autobots and the Mutant Fist Pounder as the Decepticon. PS. The Cat’s Lair as a Titan Transformer
Mandrake is a pun. Drake is a type of Dragon, and Mando has slain a Dragon before. A Krate Dragon in particular, thing was denned in a mountain. And bigger than it.
I’d laugh if Project Bear was We Bare Bears, letting you make a transforming bear stack SO many possibilities for MOTU vehicles. They’re almost ALL iconic
I really hope that Power Rangers and Transformers gets a collaborative figure. Hopefully tying into the reboot that’s supposedly coming next next year.
I'd be very surprised if the Batmobile isn't based on the Burton and Animated versions. That's the *iconic* style of Batmobile, and dare I say, timeless. There's a reason even the comics will go back to that style but don't tend to do the same with the tumbler or muscle car. Now... if they wanted to go ham, we could get an entire Batmobile subline with all of them! Expensive, but would print money. Won't happen... but I can dream.
iirc there's been more info regarding the macross collab and it's confirmed to NOT be jetfire, it's actually based on one of the more recent macross mechs, can't remember the name but it's red with a little bit of yellow (really not sure what the point of the collab is though since it's already a proper transforming robot, it's not like it's just a jet that TF then can design a robot mode for)
It's honestly wild that Hasbro & Mattel are collaborating in this way with He-Man, it's like when Marvel & DC did their crossover event. Titan class Castle Grayskull would be amazing, but even better is if they gave us Titan class Snake Mountain to do battle with it! (Obviously no more likely, but it would be cool, wouldn't it?)
When I think of an iconic Hot Wheels car my mind goes to that shark car, (it was even featured in one of the "Honey I shrunk the Kids" movies.) It would be hilarious to have that thing turn into Sky-Byte. I would also choose the Tim Burton Batmobile as my go-to for a transformer, with the Adam West being my second choice and TAS my third.
The only bears i can think of currently are : Smokey and the Bandit British Rails Class 35 Hymek D7101 "Bear" from The Railway Series, its 80th anniversary is later this year Freddy Fazbear and his army of clones
The Macross collaboration was actually announced specifically as Macross 7 and they even showed a clip of Basara's VF-19. If it's an established Transformers character it could still be Jetfire, but it's not going to be a direct redo of Jetfire's original toy (which was a VF-1).
As a motu fan too i am assuming with confidence they will make the motu vehicles. But forget the dumb cartoon, they will base it in the original toyline and make it on scale with the originals so they fit with motu Origins, since Mattel is having trouble giving us the rest of the vehicles.
The only Star Wars collaborative Transformers figure that I would pick up is definitely a Transformers version of the AT AT. That just seems like a Star Wars collaborative transformer type of mech to me.
The SW’s one probably was for the Mando collab since JTP made the post before it’s reveal. The Batman one I’m so happy it’s happening. Expecting it to be the 89 Batmobile. And with this it means we can get more WB IP collabs like say a Scooby Doo Mystery Machine.
9:36 It’s also the 20th anniversary of Hot Wheels Acceleracers and if Hasbro released a collaborative Transformer based on the Reverb car to celebrate, Hot Wheels fans would go nuts! especially since Mattel rarely seems to acknowledge the series.
My guess for project mandrake is it could either be Yoda or Grogu. From what I know of Mandrakes; they are tree-like goblin which fits Yoda's species. If it is Grogu it would also be a good companion peace to the Mandalorian. As for project Bear, potentially Kung Fu Panda. It's another potential use for the polar claw mold.
Super excited for G.I. Joe VAMP Hound. It’s the most obvious and I think will work out the best. HISS Megatron has its flaws but Thunder Machine Soundwave is a great figure. Also what’d work best for Optimus is Don Figueroa’s fan design Rolling Thunder Optimus Prime. It even has a Roller that makes sense with the original G.I. Joe Rolling Thunder. If they did that though it’d be a massive and expensive toy.
Okay, so, I know this is going to be controversial, and wouldn't happen anyway for budget reasons, but I want the Hotwheels Transformers to each come in multiple decos, all under the same character name, just like the Hotwheels molds show up in various decos, even sometimes at the same time.
Hey TJ, on the Sonic crossover, Dr. Robotnik's truck from the first Sonic movie was basically movie Galvatron painted black, do you think it could be retooled to turn into the movie Death Egg Robot?
I always thought that the Thrilling 30 Springer figure would be an interesting retool into Batman- you get both a fast looking armoured car for the batmobile and a bonus flying mode for the batwing. Alternatively, both the car and jet modes from RID Megatron could work, especially if the extra bits required for the other alt modes are stripped away to allow improvement of the robot mode sculpt.
I expected the MOBAT because it was the best fit for Optimus out of the truly iconic Joe vehicles. The toy line did have plenty of more thematically applicable carrier and/or tractor-trailer-like designs, but none are as memorable as the MOBAT. Earlier, still somewhat memorable options would have been stuff like the APC, HAVOC, or even the Bridge Layer. Later, even less memorable options would be Rolling Thunder, Mobile Command Center, Mean Dog, and several others.
I could see a Cheator being turned into the Panthers mascot, whether it’s the Florida or the North Carolina ones. Both of those could be completely separate sports teams, like different sports for each team, but if both of those are football teams, then Hasbro could even do both.
Or perhaps... • Ravage as the Jacksonville Jaguars • BWII Skywarp version of the Kingdom Airazor mold as Atlanta Falcons & Philadelphia Eagles • Shadow Panther (a black Cheetor repaint, not Ravage who was a retool) as the Carolina Panthers
21:00 A Titan class Castle Grayskull would be sick. Wouldn't scale to either the original MotU or MotU Origins or Masterverse, but only MotU collectors would care about THAT. But for other ideas... • SSGE Devastation Optimus Prime as He-Man • Legacy Elita-1 as She-Ra • Kingdom Tigatron upsized to Leader class as Battlecat • T30/SS86 Arcee as Teela • Legacy United Lockdown as Skeletor • T30 Chromia as Evil-Lyn • SSGE6 or Generations FoC Starscream as Hordak (closest thing to Hordak's goofy rocket) • Repaint said oversized Tigatron into Panthor
If they do more Hotwheels collabs I really hope they decide to make Modfighters again but better. I really liked the licensed vehicles and the graffiti on them. The orignal toys had great vehicle modes but eh to not so great robot modes but the designers did put a-lot of effort into the line
A Drake Sprays Fire, and Slave One is a Firespray-31. Unlikely theory, Mandrake is used by witches. But since there are few toys of Ahsoka, none of the Acolyte, and they all went straight to clearance...
Re: MOTU x Transformers I can see it being done something like this: He-Man is a retool of AOTP Prima, Battle Cat is a retool of Evolution Lio Convoy, Skeletor is a retool of Siege Ultra Magnus (with an inner robot based on Keldor), and Panthor is a retool of Kingdom Tigatron.
I’m sure it’s been said, but an A-Team collab would be awesome. Since the General Lee would be a no go this day and age an A-Team and Smokey and the Bandit crossovers would almost complete the vehicle icons of the 80’s. The only other license that would hit every 80’s kids nostalgia driven wallet would be M.A.S.K. and it wouldn’t be that hard since there is a movie based Optimus Prime mold that could be reformed into Rhino along with a Thundercracker Who’s face could strangely look like a masked Miles Mayhem. The possibilities are endless.
Thunderclap is probably the closest to a tractor trailer for Optimus, but it's huge and would probably be ludicrously expensive as a G.I. Joe Transformer. Iconic Hot Wheels vehicles like Twin Mill as Transformers would be awesome. Deora looks like one of Elita-1's G1 crew. NFL... Transformers? Oh, the mascots. I can see that. Yeah I'm not a sports guy either haha. DAAAA... Bears. 😄 Would love if it's the Tim Burton Batmobile. Hmm, I think Batman has had mechs in some continuities. Transformers Macross? How the heck did Takara and Hasbro manage that?! That would be glorious! Yeah, screw Harmony Gold.
Fairly sure the Macross collab was officially revealed to be happening during one of the takara announcements, we just don't know what it will be specifically but if i remember correctly they did show a Macross 7 clip during the announcement video and maybe even the logo for that specific show
OH, gimme a Batman Transformer that looks like the Tim Burton version of the Batmobile so that way, we can get a new TurboMaster Boss. He's got the same vehicle mode, pretty much.
I would totally pick up a repaint of the siege commander class jetfire in the original Valkyrie colors with battle helmet and everything. I would so buy that.
Prime would be better suited as the APC Amphibious Personnel Carrier " the closest thing to a truck GI Joe had. I still say they missed the mark on the Awe Striker " it should have been Beachcomber,
For Masters of the Universe have Metroplex (or Fort Max) transform to Castle Greyskull and Trypticon to Snake Mountain (I started typing this before you said it)
we ever get a Transformers and Power Rangers Collab, i hope they make the robot into the OG Dino megazord but also make him a Weaponizer so each zord can disconnect and become a weapon for other Transformers or even as a fun weird way of say hey the megazord combine with Optimus or Megatron or something like that
Project Bear is either FNAF or Care Bears. That Tailspin idea is AWESOME though. Only question about that is, do you base it on the original show or the version seen in Ducktales 2017? Single release or two-packs? Kit and Don Carnage or Baloo and Shere Khan?
Personally, when I heard "bear," I thought of Freddy FazBear. Recently, the FNAF gang in an in-universe cartoon short to promote Security Breach (& in the game itself) did have a van. So, I could see them using that as the crossover and, like the TMNT, just have the robot be customisable to be any member of the FNAF 1 crew. And while not a bear character there's Roxanne "Roxy" Wolf who is the mascots for her own race park. So maybe they could make a race car that transforms into a wolf? There's also the only other vehicle from FNAF Purple Guy's car.... though considering what Purple Guy did, I don't think that'll happen.
I'd guess Attack Trak/He-Man-ish, and Wind Raider/Man-at-Arms with a recolor/retool as Trap Jaw. Though the Tigatron as Battlecat can recolor as Panthor.
Mandrakes are a type of plant. The two thoughts that come to mind are Yoda or Wicket T. Warwick (also, how the hell does an Ewok have a last name, but not Yoda?)
@@otaking3582 true though it is the closest approximation of a full name of the character. It also doesn't contradict anything like the examples you provided. Considering Yoda is often referred to as "Master Yoda" similar to "Master Kenobi" & "Master Skywalker", I do think it makes logical sense to infer Yoda is the character's last name, if the character has a first and last name.
Actually the Macross one, as per that video of Takara's in October, is based on Macross 7. "Listen to my song!" and all that. So it will likely be a takeoff of Basara's VF-19, not the original VF-1S that Jetfire is based on.
The Macross collab was announced months ago by Takara and it's Macross 7 related so it won't be a VF-1 design. They already showed the design and it's based on the VF-19 Fire Valkyrie.
KABOOM! I kinda felt that the G.I. Joe crossover leaked figures are 50/50 when it comes to their choices. Hound is perfect since we got a crossover non-transforming V.A.M.P. for S.D.C.C. multipack, but Optimus Prime as the Mobat is a choice. It makes sense for an advisory for H.I.S.S. Megatron, but not really, I personally believe that the G.I. Joe A.P.C. would have been a far better choice for him. As it's a "truck-like vehicle," it's also ginormous (which means they have a lot of space to fit the "old glory" color scheme that Prime has), and also it's a great choice since simlaier to the thunder machine. We never got a modern update for that vehicle for the Joes, so similarly to the Thundermachine it's perfect for Joe collectors and and especially Transformers collectors. Due to it somewhat being a "spiritual sequel" for that Moon Rover Prime or most of the Armada Prime massive vehicles or trailers.
This latest batch of leaks is very interesting to me. I can't wait to find out which Batmobile we're getting. I would love either Batman '66 or Batman '89. I'm no MoTU fan but it'll be cool to see what they came up with. Macross, 7, eh? Never heard of it before today. I like the VF-19 design, but those colors... But let's hold out hope for a new G1 Jetfire anyway!
Very interesting list of collabs, I do have ideas for two which you had trouble thinking about though. First up, “bear” really might be FNaF. It’s out there, and on immediate thought it might be really hard to figure out. But what if they did a Freddy that turns into the mask from the second game? Like the mask role play toys from ROTB and TFO. I think that would be a genius thing to do. The second is with Hot Wheels. I’m not big into it myself, but I think the twin mill is a popular enough car. I’d personally go with the twin mill 3, since I had that one when I was younger, but either the 1 or 3 would be enough nostalgia for me. Not the 2 though, I think it stinks
I was about to make a custom roadbuster out of the old iron man humvee, but that gi joe hound with its size could be a good body as well if the figure turns out well
i was reading up on the he-man/transformer cross over. i would love to see how that would turn out. i grew up with both he-man & the transformers back in the 80s.
Personally, if Castle Greyskull has to be a Titan, I would make the most sense to him as a City Bot. In fact, you could probably get away with him being a Fortress Maximus type of City Bot where his Head can transform into a Talon Fighter whose robot mode is based on The Sorceress(maybe call him Zoarceress, as a cute little nod to her and her bird form). Give it twin Green and Purple Broadswords and a battle mask based on the castle’s face; and you’re pretty GTG! Although, personally, I think the only characters who would fit PERFECTLY into this Colab would be Hordak (specifically the Filmation one), Modulok and Multi-Bot. Them and also Beast-Man, Stratos, Buzz-Off, The Sorceress/Evil Lyn, Battle Cat and Panthor.
They keep doing these all wrong Warpath = Mobat Hound = Vamp Beachcomber= Awestriker Theres a pretty cool Optimus Prime/Rolling Thunder by a 3rd party company
Project Bear.....Coca Cola Collab? i could see that going 1 of 2 ways. either an Optimus redecoed to be a delivery truck, or the cancelled Kingdom Polar Claw repurposed as the Polar Bears from their christmas commercials.
FINALLY A TRANSFORMER WILL TURN INTO A HOT WHEELS CAR Also Imagine if they retool polarclaw into a panda And mandrake is probably a Harry Potter reference Considering Mandalorian doesn't seem to have much good vehicle
8:10 Blimey... Prime isn't Rolling Thunder..? 17:50 I'd go for a roughly Burton-ish Batmobile... and on the subject of redecos, they could rework it into a new Boss from the Turbomasters... 😜 20:00 They could do Skeletor as a Bludgeon retool, because we haven't had enough versions of that mould yet... 😂
Honestly I wouldn't put it past anybody to make a transformer sea duck! Because you know if they make a blue recoloring of it, they're going to call the snow duck exclusive!
Here's an idea for the He-Man crossover: two VS packs. Tigatron as Battlecat VS Ravage as Panthor and Airazor as the Sorceress VS Optimus Primal as Beast-Man.
7:57 wasn't Optimus a Tank in the IDW Transformers/G.I.Joe Crossover Comic? 8:20 as a Toy, if you count Comics too then i guess it would be the third time 8:23 i guess it will be the first time as a toy, but still second time as a tank (in general) 8:28 IDW Comic*
If they do a MOTU colab I would like more than just He-Man and Skeletor. I'd love an Orko inspired Transformer, tho I have no idea what the vehicle mode could be... maybe they could be a target master/battle master/whatever master for one of the bigger figures? They could turn into that wand/staff Orko had in the 200X Mike Young series. Maybe the Sword of Power itself could be turned into a Transformer as well.
'Bear' could refer to a 'Smokey and the Bandit" collab. Since Hasbro had to get rights from GM for Pontiac in order to do Agent Knight. Well the Bandit was A Pontiac Firebird
You might be right
You could even use laser prime for smowman's truck
It makes sense bc I heard that we may have a Smokey and the bandit collab
Yes that's true but bear is the nickname for police so if it is Smokey and the Bandit, they'll have to do at least Buford T. Justice as his car if not a two pack with him and Bandit. I'd also not be opposed to getting a Snowman as his truck
That'd be really clever if that was the case.
3:15 Mandrake was the Mando collab. The list was from before that was revealed
yeah to clarify according to jtprime17 that was the initial/internal name of the actual figure (guess it's because it sounds like mandalorian) before it got changed to just the name of the starfighter
Mando did kill a Krate Dragon so not out of place. Though that was with the Razorcrest.
One of those vacant Hot Wheels Collab listings has GOT to be reserved for the original "TWIN MILL". Given it's historical significance as the brand's first ever FANTASY casting, missing the opportunity to make it a full fledged Transformer would be downright *CRIMINAL.*
MANNNN I'd LOVE a transforming Twin Mill!
An A-Team x Transformers would be ideal.
Hasbro should revive M.A.S.K with a transformers cross over
Yeah they had a comic recently reviving the M.a.s.k team using transformers tech.
I still think they should relaunch KreO with actual transforming Transformers with seating compartments. Big crossover potential with GI Joe, MASK and everything else, at a reasonable scale...
Hasbro licensed Mask to The Loyal Subjects. They’ll be doing reproductions of the originals, at least we have that to look forward to.
My theory for Project: Bear is that it's a Care Bears thing that turns into a the cloud car.
Also... the GI Joe Transformers line is a perfect place for a certain White , steel blue and purple snowmobile who yodels...
"Project Bear"
Transformers x FNAF when?
HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR
"Ra, ta, ta-ta, ta, ra, ta-ta, ta-ta, don't pee on the floor, use the commodore, la, lalalalalala-LAAAAAAAAAA....."
YES!
Well that could be Project Bear. A Freddy Fazbear Transformer.
Ok theory time:
If they do use the Bone Shaker,they can retool it into one of the Laser Rods, G2 Jolt. Now my reasoning is that if you look at both vehicles,once you remove the "roof",the skull and shrink the exhausts in the front, you have G2 Jolt.
What would be crazy a triple changer for Batman that turns into the batmobile and the batwing
Throw in a Bat, a Two Headed Dragon, and a Hand, we've got a Gigatron/RID 2001 Megatron retool!
Damn, that would be so peak 😌
Transformers X Thundercats, both the Thunder Tank and Feliner are just there to be new Autobots and the Mutant Fist Pounder as the Decepticon.
PS. The Cat’s Lair as a Titan Transformer
Mandrake is a pun. Drake is a type of Dragon, and Mando has slain a Dragon before.
A Krate Dragon in particular, thing was denned in a mountain. And bigger than it.
I’d laugh if Project Bear was We Bare Bears, letting you make a transforming bear stack
SO many possibilities for MOTU vehicles. They’re almost ALL iconic
I really hope that Power Rangers and Transformers gets a collaborative figure. Hopefully tying into the reboot that’s supposedly coming next next year.
unlikely
A Megazord combiner would be cool, but that's wishful thinking on my part 😑
The Diora looks like a Pickup Cybertruck.
Guess Elon's a HotWheels fan
I am so here for a Optimus Prime Tank figure.
Project Bear is the G.I. Joe Optimus Prime collab. I asked JTPrime17 about it a while ago and that's what he told me
I'm still waiting to see MOBAT Optimus. I love the idea of Optimus as a tank.
I'd be very surprised if the Batmobile isn't based on the Burton and Animated versions. That's the *iconic* style of Batmobile, and dare I say, timeless. There's a reason even the comics will go back to that style but don't tend to do the same with the tumbler or muscle car.
Now... if they wanted to go ham, we could get an entire Batmobile subline with all of them! Expensive, but would print money. Won't happen... but I can dream.

(really not sure what the point of the collab is though since it's already a proper transforming robot, it's not like it's just a jet that TF then can design a robot mode for)
It's honestly wild that Hasbro & Mattel are collaborating in this way with He-Man, it's like when Marvel & DC did their crossover event.
Titan class Castle Grayskull would be amazing, but even better is if they gave us Titan class Snake Mountain to do battle with it! (Obviously no more likely, but it would be cool, wouldn't it?)
Mandrake can be the plant in mythology
Defenders of the Earth was my first thought, but it sounds like it's actually the Mandalorian crossover.
ID like to see heman and some robotech
If we get Hound as the VAMP, then Hasbro HAS to give us Skywarp as the Night Raven.
My guess for bear would be the GIJOE Polar Battle Bear which is a snowmobile
for MOTU
Metroplex as Castle Greyskull
Trypticon as Snake Mountain
legacy Bludgeon as Skeletor
When I think of an iconic Hot Wheels car my mind goes to that shark car, (it was even featured in one of the "Honey I shrunk the Kids" movies.) It would be hilarious to have that thing turn into Sky-Byte. I would also choose the Tim Burton Batmobile as my go-to for a transformer, with the Adam West being my second choice and TAS my third.
For some reason, when you said Project Bear, my first thought was Banjo-Kazooie. No idea how that'd work, but it's a funny mental image.
Project Bear could also be Yogi Bear, any other Hannah BarBERA (phonetical) cartoons OR Gummibears
The only bears i can think of currently are :
Smokey and the Bandit
British Rails Class 35 Hymek D7101 "Bear" from The Railway Series, its 80th anniversary is later this year
Freddy Fazbear and his army of clones
adventures of gummi bears winnie the pooh
Wojtek from the Polish Army. Bear that transforms into an artillery cannon. retool the Kingdom/s86 Galvatron again to make him.
The Macross collaboration was actually announced specifically as Macross 7 and they even showed a clip of Basara's VF-19.
If it's an established Transformers character it could still be Jetfire, but it's not going to be a direct redo of Jetfire's original toy (which was a VF-1).

The only Star Wars collaborative Transformers figure that I would pick up is definitely a Transformers version of the AT AT. That just seems like a Star Wars collaborative transformer type of mech to me.
I really want the Optimus Prime mobat. I also want the Macross Jetfire. Those are the big two for me.
Ha you caught me I am a Florida Bears fan. My team can't win lately, but damn the merch is lucrative when we have a new Quarterback every 3 years.
The SW’s one probably was for the Mando collab since JTP made the post before it’s reveal. The Batman one I’m so happy it’s happening. Expecting it to be the 89 Batmobile. And with this it means we can get more WB IP collabs like say a Scooby Doo Mystery Machine.
9:36 It’s also the 20th anniversary of Hot Wheels Acceleracers and if Hasbro released a collaborative Transformer based on the Reverb car to celebrate, Hot Wheels fans would go nuts! especially since Mattel rarely seems to acknowledge the series.

They could be like the spy changers
Hey TJ, on the Sonic crossover, Dr. Robotnik's truck from the first Sonic movie was basically movie Galvatron painted black, do you think it could be retooled to turn into the movie Death Egg Robot?
I always thought that the Thrilling 30 Springer figure would be an interesting retool into Batman- you get both a fast looking armoured car for the batmobile and a bonus flying mode for the batwing. Alternatively, both the car and jet modes from RID Megatron could work, especially if the extra bits required for the other alt modes are stripped away to allow improvement of the robot mode sculpt.
The current state of these is just wild. It's like they had a brainstorming session and chose "all of them".
I expected the MOBAT because it was the best fit for Optimus out of the truly iconic Joe vehicles. The toy line did have plenty of more thematically applicable carrier and/or tractor-trailer-like designs, but none are as memorable as the MOBAT. Earlier, still somewhat memorable options would have been stuff like the APC, HAVOC, or even the Bridge Layer. Later, even less memorable options would be Rolling Thunder, Mobile Command Center, Mean Dog, and several others.
I could see a Cheator being turned into the Panthers mascot, whether it’s the Florida or the North Carolina ones. Both of those could be completely separate sports teams, like different sports for each team, but if both of those are football teams, then Hasbro could even do both.
I think one's a basketball team?
Or perhaps...
• Ravage as the Jacksonville Jaguars
• BWII Skywarp version of the Kingdom Airazor mold as Atlanta Falcons & Philadelphia Eagles
• Shadow Panther (a black Cheetor repaint, not Ravage who was a retool) as the Carolina Panthers
21:00 A Titan class Castle Grayskull would be sick. Wouldn't scale to either the original MotU or MotU Origins or Masterverse, but only MotU collectors would care about THAT. But for other ideas...
• SSGE Devastation Optimus Prime as He-Man
• Legacy Elita-1 as She-Ra
• Kingdom Tigatron upsized to Leader class as Battlecat
• T30/SS86 Arcee as Teela
• Legacy United Lockdown as Skeletor
• T30 Chromia as Evil-Lyn
• SSGE6 or Generations FoC Starscream as Hordak (closest thing to Hordak's goofy rocket)
• Repaint said oversized Tigatron into Panthor
I never noticed Jetfire is just the reverse color scheme of Milia (Super VF-1J, Red with white details).
If project bear is a FNAF collab I'll eat a shoe
If they do more Hotwheels collabs I really hope they decide to make Modfighters again but better. I really liked the licensed vehicles and the graffiti on them. The orignal toys had great vehicle modes but eh to not so great robot modes but the designers did put a-lot of effort into the line
I'm calling it now, Siege Optimus in He-man colors. Something I'm going to walk past and think yep that's Hasbro for you
The fact a collab Hound will probably be easier to get than just the regular Earth mode figure.
I feel that. I wound up just getting an extra Detritus to repaint.
A Drake Sprays Fire, and Slave One is a Firespray-31. Unlikely theory, Mandrake is used by witches. But since there are few toys of Ahsoka, none of the Acolyte, and they all went straight to clearance...
Re: MOTU x Transformers
I can see it being done something like this:
He-Man is a retool of AOTP Prima, Battle Cat is a retool of Evolution Lio Convoy, Skeletor is a retool of Siege Ultra Magnus (with an inner robot based on Keldor), and Panthor is a retool of Kingdom Tigatron.
I’m sure it’s been said, but an A-Team collab would be awesome. Since the General Lee would be a no go this day and age an A-Team and Smokey and the Bandit crossovers would almost complete the vehicle icons of the 80’s. The only other license that would hit every 80’s kids nostalgia driven wallet would be M.A.S.K. and it wouldn’t be that hard since there is a movie based Optimus Prime mold that could be reformed into Rhino along with a Thundercracker Who’s face could strangely look like a masked Miles Mayhem. The possibilities are endless.
Thunderclap is probably the closest to a tractor trailer for Optimus, but it's huge and would probably be ludicrously expensive as a G.I. Joe Transformer.
Iconic Hot Wheels vehicles like Twin Mill as Transformers would be awesome.
Deora looks like one of Elita-1's G1 crew.
NFL... Transformers? Oh, the mascots. I can see that. Yeah I'm not a sports guy either haha. DAAAA... Bears. 😄
Would love if it's the Tim Burton Batmobile. Hmm, I think Batman has had mechs in some continuities.
Transformers Macross? How the heck did Takara and Hasbro manage that?! That would be glorious! Yeah, screw Harmony Gold.
Fairly sure the Macross collab was officially revealed to be happening during one of the takara announcements, we just don't know what it will be specifically but if i remember correctly they did show a Macross 7 clip during the announcement video and maybe even the logo for that specific show
13:56 Orion pax
15:00 I’m getting the Panthers figure for my mom.
OH, gimme a Batman Transformer that looks like the Tim Burton version of the Batmobile so that way, we can get a new TurboMaster Boss.
He's got the same vehicle mode, pretty much.
I think the tank from the Christopher Nolan movies would make for a better Batman toy, especially with that deployable motorcycle.
whatever Batmobile we get, I would love if it came painted in a lovely matte black, like Earthrise Cliffjumper's burgundy.
I would totally pick up a repaint of the siege commander class jetfire in the original Valkyrie colors with battle helmet and everything. I would so buy that.
Prime would be better suited as the APC Amphibious Personnel Carrier " the closest thing to a truck GI Joe had. I still say they missed the mark on the Awe Striker " it should have been Beachcomber,
The first thing that came to mind with "Project Bear" is Carebears.
For Masters of the Universe have Metroplex (or Fort Max) transform to Castle Greyskull and Trypticon to Snake Mountain (I started typing this before you said it)
we ever get a Transformers and Power Rangers Collab, i hope they make the robot into the OG Dino megazord but also make him a Weaponizer so each zord can disconnect and become a weapon for other Transformers or even as a fun weird way of say hey the megazord combine with Optimus or Megatron or something like that
Project Bear is either FNAF or Care Bears. That Tailspin idea is AWESOME though.
Only question about that is, do you base it on the original show or the version seen in Ducktales 2017? Single release or two-packs? Kit and Don Carnage or Baloo and Shere Khan?
Personally, when I heard "bear," I thought of Freddy FazBear.
Recently, the FNAF gang in an in-universe cartoon short to promote Security Breach (& in the game itself) did have a van. So, I could see them using that as the crossover and, like the TMNT, just have the robot be customisable to be any member of the FNAF 1 crew.
And while not a bear character there's Roxanne "Roxy" Wolf who is the mascots for her own race park. So maybe they could make a race car that transforms into a wolf? There's also the only other vehicle from FNAF Purple Guy's car.... though considering what Purple Guy did, I don't think that'll happen.
I'd guess Attack Trak/He-Man-ish, and Wind Raider/Man-at-Arms with a recolor/retool as Trap Jaw. Though the Tigatron as Battlecat can recolor as Panthor.
Mandrakes are a type of plant. The two thoughts that come to mind are Yoda or Wicket T. Warwick (also, how the hell does an Ewok have a last name, but not Yoda?)
Yoda is actually their last name, their full name is Minch Yoda; at least according to production notes.
Yoda's last name is Laheehoo. Talk about it, he will not.
@@R0-83-RT That was just in one of the early scripts, same with Luke Starkiller and Mace Windy
@@otaking3582 true though it is the closest approximation of a full name of the character. It also doesn't contradict anything like the examples you provided. Considering Yoda is often referred to as "Master Yoda" similar to "Master Kenobi" & "Master Skywalker", I do think it makes logical sense to infer Yoda is the character's last name, if the character has a first and last name.
Actually the Macross one, as per that video of Takara's in October, is based on Macross 7. "Listen to my song!" and all that. So it will likely be a takeoff of Basara's VF-19, not the original VF-1S that Jetfire is based on.
If they have original robot mode designs and names then I would buy them in a heart beat
Maybe the Care Bears for project bear?
The Macross collab was announced months ago by Takara and it's Macross 7 related so it won't be a VF-1 design. They already showed the design and it's based on the VF-19 Fire Valkyrie.
KABOOM! I kinda felt that the G.I. Joe crossover leaked figures are 50/50 when it comes to their choices. Hound is perfect since we got a crossover non-transforming V.A.M.P. for S.D.C.C. multipack, but Optimus Prime as the Mobat is a choice. It makes sense for an advisory for H.I.S.S. Megatron, but not really, I personally believe that the G.I. Joe A.P.C. would have been a far better choice for him. As it's a "truck-like vehicle," it's also ginormous (which means they have a lot of space to fit the "old glory" color scheme that Prime has), and also it's a great choice since simlaier to the thunder machine. We never got a modern update for that vehicle for the Joes, so similarly to the Thundermachine it's perfect for Joe collectors and and especially Transformers collectors. Due to it somewhat being a "spiritual sequel" for that Moon Rover Prime or most of the Armada Prime massive vehicles or trailers.
This latest batch of leaks is very interesting to me.
I can't wait to find out which Batmobile we're getting. I would love either Batman '66 or Batman '89.
I'm no MoTU fan but it'll be cool to see what they came up with.
Macross, 7, eh? Never heard of it before today. I like the VF-19 design, but those colors... But let's hold out hope for a new G1 Jetfire anyway!
Very interesting list of collabs, I do have ideas for two which you had trouble thinking about though.
First up, “bear” really might be FNaF. It’s out there, and on immediate thought it might be really hard to figure out. But what if they did a Freddy that turns into the mask from the second game? Like the mask role play toys from ROTB and TFO. I think that would be a genius thing to do.
The second is with Hot Wheels. I’m not big into it myself, but I think the twin mill is a popular enough car. I’d personally go with the twin mill 3, since I had that one when I was younger, but either the 1 or 3 would be enough nostalgia for me. Not the 2 though, I think it stinks
I was about to make a custom roadbuster out of the old iron man humvee, but that gi joe hound with its size could be a good body as well if the figure turns out well
the vamp is fake and mandrake was the code name for the Mando collab we just got and the Macross collab is the Takara T-spark Macross 7 Fire Valkyrie
i was reading up on the he-man/transformer cross over. i would love to see how that would turn out. i grew up with both he-man & the transformers back in the 80s.
Imagine if project bear was care bears 😂
I can genuinely see the novelty value there (though I would've sworn My Little Pony would've gotten there first)
"I SAY HEYYYYYYY! WHATS GOIN AWON!? HIIIIII Yaaaaaa yayyyy yayyy ya!" XD
Project bear night be a new updated version of polar claw
The Batman's Batmobile might be the easiest to retool from an existing deluxe toy. But Override do kinda look like a Batmobile as well.
The G.I. Joe crossover Optimus prime should be a deuce and a half. They really missed on that. 😂
Personally, if Castle Greyskull has to be a Titan, I would make the most sense to him as a City Bot.
In fact, you could probably get away with him being a Fortress Maximus type of City Bot where his Head can transform into a Talon Fighter whose robot mode is based on The Sorceress(maybe call him Zoarceress, as a cute little nod to her and her bird form). Give it twin Green and Purple Broadswords and a battle mask based on the castle’s face; and you’re pretty GTG!
Although, personally, I think the only characters who would fit PERFECTLY into this Colab would be Hordak (specifically the Filmation one), Modulok and Multi-Bot. Them and also Beast-Man, Stratos, Buzz-Off, The Sorceress/Evil Lyn, Battle Cat and Panthor.
They keep doing these all wrong
Warpath = Mobat
Hound = Vamp
Beachcomber= Awestriker
Theres a pretty cool Optimus Prime/Rolling Thunder by a 3rd party company
Project Bear.....Coca Cola Collab?
i could see that going 1 of 2 ways. either an Optimus redecoed to be a delivery truck, or the cancelled Kingdom Polar Claw repurposed as the Polar Bears from their christmas commercials.
Would the Batman Collaborative figure be similar to Mastermind Creations version where it was recolored/retooled from Senator Ratnat?
FINALLY A TRANSFORMER WILL TURN INTO A HOT WHEELS CAR
Also Imagine if they retool polarclaw into a panda
And mandrake is probably a Harry Potter reference Considering Mandalorian doesn't seem to have much good vehicle
What if we do get not just the Batmobile Transformer, but.... And organic Bat that transforms into a robot Batman.....Onyx Primal
8:10 Blimey... Prime isn't Rolling Thunder..?
17:50 I'd go for a roughly Burton-ish Batmobile... and on the subject of redecos, they could rework it into a new Boss from the Turbomasters... 😜
20:00 They could do Skeletor as a Bludgeon retool, because we haven't had enough versions of that mould yet... 😂
For a couple seconds, I was thinking Teddy Ruxpin when I heard Project Bear. But I don't see that as a collaboration ever happening.
Honestly I wouldn't put it past anybody to make a transformer sea duck! Because you know if they make a blue recoloring of it, they're going to call the snow duck exclusive!
Here's an idea for the He-Man crossover: two VS packs. Tigatron as Battlecat VS Ravage as Panthor and Airazor as the Sorceress VS Optimus Primal as Beast-Man.
7:57 wasn't Optimus a Tank in the IDW Transformers/G.I.Joe Crossover Comic?
8:20 as a Toy, if you count Comics too then i guess it would be the third time
8:23 i guess it will be the first time as a toy, but still second time as a tank (in general)
8:28 IDW Comic*
If they do a MOTU colab I would like more than just He-Man and Skeletor. I'd love an Orko inspired Transformer, tho I have no idea what the vehicle mode could be... maybe they could be a target master/battle master/whatever master for one of the bigger figures? They could turn into that wand/staff Orko had in the 200X Mike Young series. Maybe the Sword of Power itself could be turned into a Transformer as well.
My brother had a bootleg Batmobile transformer when he was a kid, so at least I know it can be done
Two possibilities for "Project Bear"
1. Kung Fu Panda
2. Brother Bear
12:57 That's basically just a slightly longer Cybertronian mode Kup
Personally I'd like to see a Splittin Image II Transformer.
