The plane and helicoptor snap together to make...a slightly bigger plane? That's it?
For some reason I immediately imagined a Devastator-type gestalt when I read "marvel crossover combiner"...Didn't notice that it was specifcally referring to just Spider-man and Iron Man...Guess I should read the headlines more closely cuz now I'm all disappointed

I bought the first Iron Man, so I might buy this as well.

Fisst thing I thought when I saw this was 'yeah, right, like Spider-man and Iron man would EVER co-operate again after Tony screwed Peter during the whole ...'Civil War' ...thing... *ahem* Um, looks good though, surprisingly. I think I'd buy this, it's very G1.
You mean like what happened in Invincible Iron Man a couple of issues back? Yeah I think Spidey and Iron Man are back on.
And I think this looks very curious. I can't say Spidey really fits a copter but we'll see how the robots turn out.

Its getting quite boring. I understand people at Hasbro need to squeeze out alot of creative juices to create these figures. But I believe they can do better. Apart from the repaints being produced I've heard a few people whine about some of the figures. Example Hulk looks great in robot and tank mode. I've read how it can be better. I've seen a few pics of a megatron figure modified from the hulk figure and even though there has been only a simple addition made, the robot and tank mode looks much more cool. For those guys wondering, its at this webpage,
http://jin-saotome.deviantart.com/art/M ... 910.Simple yet appealing.
As for the spiderman and ironman combiners, from the low resolution spiderman heli mode looks nice like beast machines obsidian and ironman plane mode looks good but has a very close resemblence to stargate/stargate-sg1 guaold fighter jet.The combination looks interesting. But like other members I'll have to see how the hi res pics look.
And why does it have to be spiderman and iron man?Sure people love the popular marvel characters especially the superheroes and they will sell like hotcakes. But what about a little variety. Other superheros even more villains perhaps. Venom/muscle car is looking lonely and outnumbered. Where is doom? Sinister? The abormination?..Also instead of spidey and ironman what about having a marvel duo who have some better connection like maybe magneto and mystique. Now wouldn't like to have that. Or cloak and dagger.Even maybe the green goblin and hobgoblin combiners.
Personally I'd like to see the people at marvel maybe release a animal based figures for say doc oct, scorpion, sabretooth maybe even beast.What say you guys out there?

Didn't they do that already with the Marvel Shape Shifters line. After releasing the famous Punisher transforming butt gun, they tried a bunch of super heroes/villans that transformed into critters. Like Thor into a bird and Hulk into a Dragon or something...

People and especillay collectors everywhere are a little tired of crossovers because its like a sign that people have a huge mental block as what to create next and give to the people. So to keep going they just come up with crossovers.But admit it guys. I'm quite sure one of you is waiting to see a ghostrider/hellbike figure or a doom/maybe helicopter figure especially after the megamorphs line right?
I do agree that if the animal form based marvel crossovers are going to look as bad as the ones from the hulk/t-rex line,(I seriously can't remember what they called that line)then better not.Or look like the characters from animorphs also better not try.
I do agree that the fantastic four would make a good combiner.Just have to be careful with the colors. Anyone think x-men would be a good combiner? This is just an idea but maybe say the x-jet splits to 5 seperate x-men figures which could recombine to form one mega robot figure? Have to be careful with the colors though. Which collector wouldn't like to have that...

As much as I dislike the Fantastic 4, I have to admit they do have the potential to make a cool gestalt...And they DO seem to be the practical choice...

An FF combiner would be almost cool enough to buy. Geez, it'd actually make sence! If they really wanted to milk Spider-man they could even make him turn into their gun, like the old G1 Seacons.
But I'm still holding out for a Galactus planetformer. It doesn't HAVE to turn into a planet, but ... I can't think of anything more fitting.

The pictures feature robot mode pics of Iron Man and Spider-Man, the alt modes, the alt mode combination, and a new picture of another sort of combined robot mode.
You can view the gallery of pics here.

Pretty sure the answer to that is obvious...Money...
But you certainly don't have to buy them

Galactus changing into a planet would be cool.& those of you guys who have darth vader which transforms to death star, this would make an excellent addition.
