I just don't understand why Prime always has the decent designs and Megatron always gets the short end of the stick. Look at all the hollowness! Head and chest look great, but the hollow arms, legs, cannon…
Just compare how awesome earthrise/siege Optimus is to Megatron. Megatron is squat, hallow, no wrist swivels, hands that don't even sit flush with the arm, etc…
I guess that's what I get for my favorite Transformer being a bad guy.

Thank God. The writer really needs to add that picture to the gallery. I had no idea there was a cover for the back. Why would they leave out a picture of that?
Baroness is looking a little cross-eyed there…

Dude….EPIC. I wanna have your quote's baby.

“So would it come with Duke, Hawk, or Flint?”
“All of them, son. All of them.”
DINOBOTT
This is exactly what I told my son when he asked what gi joe vehicle prime could be.
Shin Densetsu
Thanks for checking!

Trying this out with the HISS Tank i have and Core Soundwave, Iguanus, Megatron, and Starscream all fit in the gunner station but not the driver's seat. They all have too much upper body bulk.

And Im thinking about how BAD Xovers were when they started, and towards the end, some were seriously fantastic. Anyone play with the Thor A10? YEAH. They got way better.
Im hoping hasbro has at least a 3 year plan for these..they will get sweet.
For Optimus, There are 2 options for me. They went str8 up Cobra basics with Megatron as a HISS…So I say the most iconic "realistic sized" vehicle for Prime is the VAMP. Then they can do a stinger for Nemesis.
But probably the BEST option for Prime is the GIJOE APC. They could get 2 windows for the chest, part of the back troop compartment could pop off for a "trailer"…Im saying Joe APC for Prime all day..That would be sweet. I can picture the front of that sweet ass vehicle as his chest!! Add to that you could have the Prime laser cannon nestle in the turret for APC mode…
MAN..I GOT THIS!!! LET ME DESIGN THESE!!!

I'm still on the fence with these Joe crossovers. These pictures are not really helping sway me either way. It looks really bad, but I do like the novelty of it. It just seems the other crossovers were done better.

I'm just pissed this is the closest to G1 Megatron paint work we can get, and it's trapped inside a GI Joe shell.
Shin Densetsu
Hmmm maybe there’s enough room to place Kingdom Core Soundwave inside Megatron as Baroness’ giant 1980’s boom box or room in the seats to have Core Soundwave or Core Megatron be used as Action Masters to drive the HISS Tank and man the turret.
Oh the vehicle they drive transforms too? Action Masters have come full circle.
firmpulse
Mmm hmm…You're aware most products are subject to tax and shipping costs, right? So yeah, $100. This is obvious. Please take a breath.

My plan is to buy a H.I.S.S. Driver loose somewhere and use that instead, keeping Baroness carded.
Yes – there’s something VERY delightful about this, sort of a *batteries not included thing where the Transformers are smaller and turn into toys instead of cars and weapons and such.

They had two mechs in the 2010 toyline (retooled from a Sigma 6 vehicle):

Would have loved this when I was a kid and enmeshed in genuine GI Joe collecting.
Always thought it was a shame that GI Joe never did have a decent mech suit line. M.A.S.K. definitely could have evolved into it. The Robotech ones kind of sucked. I want to say it was the short-lived ExoSquad toyline that did it best.
Canbot
This is worth getting for the Baroness figure alone, those are harder to find than hen's teeth.
WishfulThinking
Starscream should come with Cobra Commander so we can scream at ourselves when doing the voices.
This is the way.
daimchoc
That's practically $90 + tax… So, roughly $100. LOL
DarkEyes
The price isn’t $100, it is $89.99.
Please take a breath, you don’t need to buy anything you don’t want to. This is obvious.
Hanzkaz
I'll be honest, I like the concept, but there's something about the execution that I'm not finding satisfactory, especially for the price.
Also, I'm not a fan of this particular
Baroness figure. Truth be told, I would have much preferred 'regular' (and cheaper) pilotless Transformers that turned into G.I.Joe/Cobra vehicles
I like the alt-mode, but I wish they'd at least darkened the grey of Megatron's robot mode to something that goes better with the tank mode parts. .
BUT I'm thinking: future Soundwave remold/repaint.
But as I said, while like the basic idea, I don't think I'm going to rush out and get this for what they're charging.
