SDCC 2008 Day 3 - Marvel Crossovers

I almost want Venom.

With a new head and a desert color scheme on it... Hound? or even Roadbuster!

BTW, I like it, may have to get it when it show up in SA.

thor with a new head, perfect cobra commander/destro --> rattler

i wonder if they iron man head would work for destro (that or swtf mace windu)

Some paint, a new head, and a sword instead of a hammer and Thor would make a pretty cool Earth-format Vector Prime.

I completely agree

Some paint, a new head, and a sword instead of a hammer and Thor would make a pretty cool Earth-format Vector Prime. Lots of potential for Cap too, would probably make a decent Grimlock with those bulky arms and legs (if you can part with the dino mode). Hell, it'd probably make a decent, if out of scale, Classics Brawn.

Carnage is Venom's repaint? :fail

He should have a sleeker alt-mode, like sports car, or if not that, dune buggy would do, to suits with his skinny characteristics.

I feel that some of them look great but are ruined by the paint. For example Thor and Captain America. By the way, the Cap. would make an excellent non-animated Sentinel Prime, he has the shield and he's a strong car. Wolverine could do with some other color scheme too... maybe X-men movie colors? black with dark yellow bits.

captin america is only a few white paint apps away from this hummer

Military or not, Cap as a Humvee is a little too close to being a stereotype.

Not a bad looking set of figures, sans the couple of repaints. Wolvie looks a little on the chunky kiddie side of the robot line, other than that i do have to say the Marvel Hero/Transformers line is better than the Star Wars/Transformers line. The Marvel TF's seem to hold together and transform into a fairly sold robot. te SWTF's seem to be a little more on the floppy side, well some of them atleast.

I bet a lot of that has to do with the alt-modes. Marvel Crossovers have benefit of having original alt-modes while the Star Wars Transformers have to turn into established Star Wars vehicles.

True, that I know, but on some pieces that tend to be more on the "floppy" side, if they had just put a little extra plastic or a joint that halfway locked into place on a few figures it would have made a mediocre figure into a decent figure. Of course thats just my view of the swtf figures. Back on topic these figure are nice, I would have to agree I like that Thor figure, intersting transformation and great modes on both parts.

I like the Cap/Hummer. Actually looks like a Transformer in robot mode... wouldn't mind having it in my collection.

Thor looks like an amazing figure. His bot mode is fantastic, and his A-10 mode (Ha ha... Thunderbolt. I get it, Hasbro) is fantastic looking, slightly schizo colors aside. Especially compared to Powerglide's craptacular and bloated A-10 mode, this is a welcome breath of fresh air.
