The first wave consists of the Hulk (tank) and Iron Man (jet) and will be released this summer ($14.99 each) to coincide with the live action Hulk and Iron Man films. The subline will continue to include other classic heroes like Spiderman and others.

Looks like they will be just like SWTF to me. Pass

It's so much easier to design a TF when the robot mode can look like basically anything. When the robot mode needs to look like the Hulk, or Iron Man, or Darth Vader, it's not so simple. It's much harder to design a toy "around" those already established figures than it is to just pull a new bot mode out of your ass, slap on some neon green paint and call it a Constructicon.
For what they have to work with, these toys look good. I'd like to see any fan design something better that still works as a toy without deviating from an already-established non-Transformer character.

TFs that G.I. Joes can ride in--why oh why does this not happen?

At first look, for the sort of thing I'd usually skip, they seemed surprisingly worthwhile. I still think they look okay, but nothing special. Nothing about them screams 'must-have', but I may be tempted nonetheless. The packaging is terrific.

Go wash your mouth with soap and cry big tears over some nice toys you skipped because of prejudice -_-

Iron Man is meh IMO.
Much better looking then SWTF.
I'll probably but the Hulk toy for my friend who loves Hulk.
I'm more interested in Venom.

And with a different head and paint scheme, that Hulk is an EXCELLENT figure. People are seeing "Hulk" and that head, and ignoring the overall figure itself, I think. It certainly demonstrates much more articulation than the Megamorphs, a more proportionate build, and overall it looks LEAGUES better. Better than some recent actual Transformer toys, IMHO (though by no means all). I'd put both of them on a "Probably" list, especially if I can find a decent head for each of them, and decide on a good paint scheme.

A GI Joe Trasformer cross over line might be cool, Cobra Commander turning into a HISS tank or something

QFT!!!
I may pick these up, I dunno, since I have never really been a big Hulk/Iron Man fan.

Hulk's a tank and Iron Man's a jet....
Posted by Rushie on March 30th, 2008 @ 2:36pm CDT
What else could Hulk be? Something big, hulking and heavy that destroys stuff. And green. That would be a tank, or maybe a bulldozer, but kids like tanks more.
Iron Man's greatest advantage, aside from his huge firepower, is his flight capability. He's swift, agile and covered in steel. A combat jet makes a lot of sense.
I'm really curious what they'll do with Spider-Man and Venom. I hope they'll give them actual vehicle modes instead of cyberspider beast modes.
