We finally have a look at the TMNT/Transformers crossover figure and it turns out that it doesn't turn into any specific turtle, but into whichever one you want. The turtle van turns into a generic Ninja Turtle and then there are visor/bandana head accessories to make it either Donatello, Raphael, Leonardo or Michaelangelo. There are also the specific weapons for each of those turtles and the letter on the belt can be changed.

The toy itself is not that complex, as is the case with most of these crossover figures, and includes parts forming for the front of the van. But all weapons can be stored in either mode.

This will not be a retailer exclusive but will most likely only be found online in most parts of the world (including the US). So if you want this toy, you should order it online rather than waiting to see it in a store. Preorders should be up soon. The images come from a now taken down Amazon listing.

It took me a second to realize this isn’t a 4-pack. It’s gonna be hella difficult for everyone to get all four! Regardless, they look fantastic, lots of potential for mold reuse, and the transformation looks fun.

I thought the opposite. This being an online toy, and any one pack allows you to make any turtle, then it's just a question about having the money to buy it 4 times.

I'm glad you think the transformation looks fun, but sadly i don't share that optimism. To me it looks like this is going back to the really old and uninspired days of a shellformer.

Four? I think I'll take four. I love the TMNT.

I kinda hope that the bandanna comes off as shown, but I also wonder if that isn't prototype garbage.

I do have some quibbles about the deign. 4 fingers = someone didn't check their renders in time. It also looks to be on the small side (the Party Wagon is a largish vehicle). But the turtles themselves are short guys, so ... fine?

But, quibbles aside, COWABUNGA! Sign me up. A 3P weapons pack too, sure.

It was specifically pointed out in the stream. The set comes with 4 skullcaps / bandana sections to make any turtle.
It's assumed though not specifically called out, it also comes with 4 belt buckles with the initial for each turtle.

TFW states it's a rotating belt buckle. Maybe you press it in and the center rotates.

A very fun idea. I think I'll stick with one and mostly keep it as the regular turtle bot, but I like that it can become the four brothers.

That'd make some cool lore. It's just the regular turtle-bot that can power-up with the weapons, stats and fighting styles of each of the 4 brothers as required.

I don't see any space for it to rotate in the buckle. Maybe from behind it, you pull it out and then change it.

Hmmmmmm $50, eh? Am I willing to spend just over $200 to have four turtles? Me thinks... yes! They'll team up with ectotron and gigawatt

No, but some are disappointed that it isn't Metalhead by default.

R R R R Radical.

even with arm spatulas that almost rival Cheetors it's ;looking way better than the Ecto 1 in bot mode. vehicle mode in reverse does look like something from Cars or thomas the tank engine though. Picking up one so there is that, think the third party guys may have done it a bit better but not bad for hasbro compared to their other collabs.

This is going to be the best selling collab because everyone who wants it and can afford it will buy 4.

This one is a "meh" for me.

However, I can't deny the sheer GENIUS of that design. The fact that you have the option to make any of the 4 main turtles with the included accessories is brilliant.

I bet many will buy 4 of it to have a complete team.
And if I see a store that limit the purchase at 3 units per customers, I'd laugh so much! :lol:

I had to watch a video to have it all explained to me, the base transformation is Party Wallop with the front of the vehicle as a chest piece going last Ronin using all the weapons. The four turtle heads fit over the main head as a helmet of sorts and the front comes off exposing the "Proper" Turtle chest. The front can work as a shield but I hope it can be stored on the back too. I'm excited about it now.

I did. And now they will each have 4 of their weapons instead of just the pair, or Donnie's case just the bo staff. Assuming each figure comes with 1 of each Turtle's weapon? I didn't watch the clip...

My only single complaint is that the figure has a regular hand with 5 fingers in robot mode instead of a 3-digit turtle hand.

I think I'd need a head with a black bandana for that one

I don't think I need a Last Ronin, but I'd be so down for Slash. Give him some spikes and a crazy headsculpt.

Ahhhh, who am I kidding? I've been getting all the collabs so far, why would I skip any repaint of my favorite franchise? I'd even pick up a Venus variant. But if they do variant TMNT the van itself needs to reflect it. It couldn't just look like the Party Wagon at that point.

Since the robot hands will be regular 5 fingers instead of 3-digit turtle hands, I wonder if they will be 5 mm holes. If so, I will probably give some of the weapons to other Transformers.

I want to see Cyclonus dual-wield Leo's swords.

Oh man, I am so excited for this one.

I saw this, and went "oh f*** me" right on the spot.

I preordered 4 through Target, they had a deal going, so I got $40 off the total. They will go great with my recently acquired Mutant Mayhem turtles and van! They may even fit in the van. or at least 1 of them!
