      Don Figueroa is an artist who worked for a lot of early IDW and Dreamwave comics. He got into some controversy around 2010 or so when Hasbro and IDW started stealing his designs without permission, most notable being the stealth bomber Megatron design. And so he kinda left the franchise for like over a decade or so.
      To this day, some of his designs are still taken without his consent.

    The other day, I was chatting to a GI Joe fan who was also a casual transformer collector at my local shop. I asked him his opinion on the GI Joe cross-over, he said it's just terribly designed and doesn't rock any interest from him. I do feel like certain fans give official product too much benefit of the doubt, whenever something doesn't quite work, they would pull out the "you are not the target customer" card and claim there are certain crowd who is into it even thought they aren't part of that crowd.

      Well, Hasbro wouldn't bother making them if they didn't sell to someone. Fans generally don't seem to recognise that these crossover toys had to maintain the same functionality as the old Joe toys, which naturally means compromises. Like why don't the arms and legs go inside? They need to maintain the driver or troop compartment. Why bother making them Joe figure scale if they can't be used with 3'3/4 inch figures?
      A popular thread a while back was comparing HISS Megatron negatively to Earth Wars Soundwave, who turned into the obscure DTC HISS from 2005. That video game design, naturally cheats (see how much trouble the WFC Fall of Cybertron designs are as toys) and places the legs where both the troop compartment and rotating turret would be.

    You are correct that the missiles will no longer attach to his arms. Early models had four ladders that had a square outward peg, but have since been replaced with the four hydraulic stabilizers which contain no peg.
    However, you should be able to slide the larger missiles onto the upper outside of his shoulder pads. You will be able to angle elevation, and breadth from that location. And you can attach the smaller missiles onto the outside of the larger ones. (That's how I have mine displayed)

    Love to see a 3rd party without a crazy/convoluted transformation scheme. Missile truck reminds me of Cybertron Defense Red Alert. Used to have the original 2007 movie Starscream, but unfortunately ended up as garage sale fodder during my last purge. Kinda wish I hadn't as I still have the ROTF voyager, and Leader, and now the SS which is definitely an improvement, but the original was still a lot of fun despite inaccuracy.

    @ChakatStripedfur Месяц назад +2

    Too bad they couldn't've done the 'H.I.S.S. Megatron' thing and make his robot mode resemble Optimus Prime in the coloration, while having the vehicle mode look like the G.I.JOE model, but I can kinda see why they didn't. Basically the entire robot mode is visible in the vehicle, so they couldn't have different schemes going. It would've been nice, though.
    **EDIT** Forgot to add that yes, they _do_ have an 'Optimus Prime' colored one, but it doesn't come with this big-ass missile. That, and it just looks weird having the entire thing be 'Optimus colored'. Like it isn't part of that universe. I dunno, I might grab either this one or the regular camo one and do some painting. Frankly, I'm still hoping for an official crossover version.

    Hey man just so you know I've had this figure for years and the instructions don't tell you but if you combine the two leg components end-to-end to form the wall there's actually two notches just underneath the wheels it allows you to take the center section of the vehicle mode with the Hydraulics up and attach it to the legs forming a base platform. The instructions just have them sitting together but they actually do connect. Also if you want to get the missiles on the arms you were just connects the smaller missiles to the outside of the larger missiles then take the two shoulder triangle pieces and combine them into their missile silo formation and attach the large missiles to either side then lastly you can attach the whole assembly onto his arm just like the tank and give him a Megatron double arm Cannon . Also of course if you forgo the the jetpack you can put the remaining piece from the vehicle mode onto his backpack and attach the missiles to it giving him shoulder missiles . The coolest thing you can do though is use all of the parts that come with the figure if you angle the jetpack attachment Peaks back so that you can attach the hydraulic piece as a backpack you can then put the jetpack on on top of it an angle the top two sections of the jetpack inwords kind of over the shoulders to give him the fully armored up look. I'm actually really surprised you didn't cover any of the base configuration Play features

    There's a Megatron that's also pretty cool. All the super armor parts can changed around to create all kinds of different alt modes. It's parts forming, but you can do so much with it and it's fun.

    12:54 So, you find a breach, probe it, the sphere comes through, 600 feet above London, BAM! It leaves a hole in the fabric of reality. And that hole, you think: "Should we leave it alone, should we back off, should we play it safe?" NAH, you think: "Let's make it BIGGER!"
