This is definitely a great idea for young kids. It looks like it's even pretty simple to transform too. Wonder if the robot mode will have Prime coloring or Mickey coloring...

Looks like a shellformer to me... Certainly an interesting concept, especially if more Disney characters get the TF treatment...

Hmm i'm a Transformers collector and one of my sisters is a Mickey Mouse collector.
From a Mickey Mouse point of view it's probably awesome.
From a Transformers point of view...it's pap.
Might buy it for her for Xmas, but rap it up all smashed in and covered in blood.

I was a kid who spent many a summer vacation at Disneyland, so it's most definitely a nostalgia thing for me. xD

Though I still find it to be a radical choice for a crossover (well, after KISS PLAYER and the Shoeformers, nothing should surprise me no more!), I kind of like it. The transformation is very cool.
Nice to see people noticed the mini-Mickey on top of his head. I did almost as the first clear pictures surfaced.

It's still looking good, and will hopefully interest more people in Transformers. That can only be a good thing.

As a kid, I was a huge Disney fan. Before I knew what a transformer was, there was only Disney. I like Mickey Mouse, but I'm hoping for a Donald Duck transformer. DD was badass. If they make him into a Seeker, I'll poop my pants.
I like the idea of Disney formers and they don't look half bad. I'll probably get one (or two at most) just because of nostalgia.

I see the marketing potential here, but personally this is a
MAJOR 'pass' for me.
Wonder if stuff like this would appear in the next Kingdom Hearts, though.

If you really stop and think about it, this should blow the "Cool" meter right out of the water. The most recognized cinematic icon world-wide is Mickey, so for him to be getting the TF treatment is a testament to just how much influence and recognition the Transformers have. Whether we like the toy or not, as individuals, is unimportant compared to the potential this could have for spreading the TF popularity into an even wider area. More fans = longer "lifespan" of the Transformers.
I would love to get my hands on one of these and cant wait to see what other areas we start seeing "Crossover" toys.

If it was Bugs Bunnimus Prime I'd snag it in a heartbeat but I've never been a Disney fan excluding the genuis of Pixar.

Yeah, its a little goofy, but hey, if you like Animated you BEST love this.
Yes, I will get this unless the color scheme is ridiculously bad. My boy loved Mickey Mouse and he likes playing with my TF's so its a solid combo.

What a horrible cheat of a toy. He folds in half and wears his cape as the trailer?
That makes Beast/Machine Wars Basics look like well crafted works of art. And those were so simple, a caveman could do it. </Geico'd>

I thought along the same lines (not clever enough to think of Geico though
) but figured this HAS to be geared towards young kids, with the hard core collectors buying anyway.
I absolutely love to see when my not even two year old son "transforms" his lil set of TF's.

I've grown up with Mickey Mouse and Transformers, the two combined together seems to be a pretty neat idea, something like this should grab attention for the younger kids, plus there are those out there who collects variations of a certain brand. I wouldn't mind myself to own one of these. My mom would approve of this since it's a transformer disguised as Mickey Mouse, but begs the question, what would the toy be called? Optimus Mouse, or Mickey Prime

I agree, but.....I do believe that life is circular. Thus if something is enough of a FAIL and it circle back to success.
If that made sense to you, congragulations, now go see a shrink. ;-0
Point being, I thin this thig is such a freaking abomination, that it is cool. Maybe I'll buy it and start a freakshow shelf. Then all the other TFs can pay $1 to visit the shelf and point/laugh at Mickey Convoy.

Well, for one...they need to make it a TF tie in. Nike Label Convoy didn't look an awful lot like his G1 (or any series for that matter) counterpart, but he did have the trademark head/face, and the red/blue color scheme. This has the vehicle mode of Optimus Prime (and will have the same coloring).
Two, his hands are the trucks smokestacks.
That's why the cab is needed, to sell the whole picture.

I just thought the trasformation is too simplistic. Not "worth" the Transformers tag.
But i guess this is for toddlers. So they have to be built that way.

Wow, it's almost as if this toy wasn't being aimed at 20, 30-something male westerners. Crazy.
In the other thread of course, every-one is getting super-duper excited about a robot dinosaur.
