what cross overs toy lines would you like to see in TF besides SW & Marvel. I wanna see Thundercats & startrek cross over TF toys.
TigerMegatron
stand up 2 legged human mode. similar to SW & Marvel TF cross-over
toys,they'll be tiny thunder cat figures that fit inside those thunder
cat designed robot suits.
how freaking cool would it be to see a transforming robot lion-
o,pantro,cheterra,mumra,etc...
For startrek i'd prefer the ships transform in generation one
transformer robots. transformers would basically get star trek
designed alt modes. optimus could transform into the classics
enterprise that kirk used in the 1960's show. megatron would transform
into the 1960's klingon ship. alpha trion would transform into the
very first enterprise ship every given a deep space mission. fortress
maximus could transform into the deep space 9 space station.
starscream & his seekers could transform into the romulan war birds.
ratchet could transform into the vulcan space ship. bumblebee could
transform into a escape pod.

weak, I would want it to be for something that I don't like, and would
have no desire to collect. Smurfs?
That said, if there were My Little Pony Transformers, where ponies
transform into cars and planes and stuff... I would buy that in an
instant.
Similarly, I would collect transforming Presidents, or world leaders
in general -- Hitler vs Roosevelt, each transforming into a tank!

That... sounds really epic.
How about a He-Man crossover? He-Man did have some really terrible-
looking cars, didn't they?

Perhaps you're not considering the entire play-pattern that this could
have... Consider the following as a commercial on TV:
"Who would win in a fight? Abraham Lincoln or Nelson Mandela? YOU
DECIDE!
"A friendly game of bocci turns serious, when Abraham Lincoln
transforms into a powerful locomotive and goes barreling down the
tracks at Nelson Mandela. Nelson Mandela than transforms into a Battle-
Ready Roadster with flip out cannons and charges Lincoln! But wait,
what's that over there? Lee Harvey Oswald and John Wilkes Booth
combine into a massive cannon, and shoot Lincoln off the tracks!
Lincoln is down, but he's not out, and Boris Yeltsin comes out of
nowhere, transforms into a giant robotic griffon, and charges the
assassins!
"Can Boris Yeltsin save the Abraham Lincoln? Or will the Assassin
Double-Team take the day? Only you can decide!
"Transformers: History -- bringing history to life, and making it
fun!"
Now, really, wouldn't you buy every single one of those toys? Wouldn't
you want your children to play with them? Don't you want the next
generation to learn about the woman's suffrage movement from the tech
spec for Susan B. Anthony, who transforms into a giant spider with 8
pile-drivers for legs and a missiles that flip out over her shoulders
in robot mode?
> How about a He-Man crossover? He-Man did have some really terrible-

How about Cars? Rather than giving vehicle modes to established
characters, give robot modes to established characters.
I would actually be delighted by just random well-known cars and
vehicles getting Transformers treatment -- "Dukes of Hazard"'s General
Lee, "Knight Rider"'s KITT, "Blue Thunder", "Airwolf", etc. Lots of
movies and shows have just one notable vehicle. (And just imagine if
the General Lee transformed into a robotic Robert E. Lee...)

That's an interesting concept, but it would probably be a licensing
nightmare. Also, I doubt any of the molds could reasonably be used
more than once. Who wants a General Lee redone in blue? Somehow,
Hasbro figured out a way to have mostly reasonable redecos with both
SW and Marvel Crossovers toys.

The General Lee in Blue? Perhaps with an American flag on the roof...

Sure beats the hell out of history books. I wish more political
situations could be resolved with giant robots. The world would so
much more clear-cut with giant robots.
There was a video game in which you play the President of the United
States in a mecha, blowing up the forces of the evil Vice President
who's overthrown your government. Or had you impeached or something.

In the GUNDAM series titled MOBILE FIGHTER G GUNDAM, all of the
world's major countries would enter a piloted, giant robot into a
competition every so many years. The country whose robot wins the
battle royale becomes the ruler over all of the other countries until
the next competition. At least, that's how I remembered it. Some of
the robots could even transform after a fashion between humanoid mode
and some alt mode.

Another natural would would be MASK. Each of the units would be like
an Omnibot (aka a Double-Changer); vehicle mode, secret secondary
vehicle mode, and robot mode. And the robot mode's head would look
like the pilot's mask.
Hot Wheels would be a neat crossover idea...
Voltron would be neat too -- imagine if all 5 of the lions could
transform into robots too? The other Voltron (Dairugger XV) would be
even wilder, with 15 transforming vehicle-robots forming one bigass
gestalt. Golly.
For an odder idea, take Star Trek. That would be fun. Transforming
Enterprise vs Transforming D-7!

All of those are nice ideas, but they seem to lack oomph. G. I. Joe
gets a crossover from Transformers every so often (and yeah, the
comics are good), but they haven't had a toy yet. Would be nice, but
isn't creative.
MASK... yeah, I dunno. Hot Wheels too... I mean, they're just regular
cars and trucks in vehicle mode, aren't they?
Voltron... naah. Too much like Scramble City (and not in a good way).
Star Trek... good idea in theory, but too many of the Federation's
ships look too similar (saucer plus pylons). They'd have to do some
amazing stuff with Transformations to get some distinct looking
Transformers.
Oh! Why not Wing Commander!

The energon toy line 2004 deluxe sized toy named "Snowcat". was
modeled after a G.I. Joe vechicle toy called snowcat. many TF fans
consider it a cross-over TF G.I Joe type toy.

Legends Cosmos already looks like the saucer section of a Trek ship.
Lose the fin, colour him grey and give him a partner who turns into an
engineering section... sorted!

If they did a hypothetical Star Trek Transformers assortment, there's
no rule saying they'd have to stick with Starfleet ships only. There
are lots of different design philosophies—Romulan birds-of-prey, Borg
cubes, etc. I'm just having trouble figuring out how they'd get a
robot mode out of the Enterprise to begin with. Would the warp
nacelles turn into arms? Really spindly legs? Shoulder cannons?

Bits folding back out of the saucer onto and around the nacelles,
sorta like what Animated Megatron does with his tail to form his legs.
Or, alternatively, have most of the robot fold out of the saucer, but
have the nacelles fold back to make a backpack sort of thing, or
wings. I seem to recall that there are some real specific rules for
how nacelles have to configured to create the warp field.

Why not let the saucer detatch and each 1/2 transform. You've got a captain
and 1st officer right there.

Enterprise D maybe, 'cause that's the only one that splits in the
canon. You can't cheat your way out of all of them that way.
