Transformers Generations Top Gun Mash-Up Maverick (Hasbro Pulse Exclusive)

Dan is in the booth this week with his much anticipated Transformers Generations Top Gun Mash-Up Maverick which he's pretty sure was made only for him.
Ectotron the Ghostbusters Transformer and Gigawatt the Back to the Future Delorean Transformers are also along for the ride (get it?)

Top Gun trivia: When Goose’s wife and son came to visit him, the kid was playing with a little known fighter jet toy named G1 Starscream 😃

[@joshuachristian5443]

As a kid I got excited and pointed the Starscream out...and my mother was like, "Mm hm". Clearly she didn't share my enthusiasm. 😩

[@DaisZX]

You spooked me when things went dead silent in the middle. I thought my speakers died.

[@zemuzzy]

Ordered mine because I'm also a sucker for f-14's. My favorite jet ever! I don't think Hasbro will lose the opportunity to reepaint/retool this mold into so many of their characters, like all the versions of the Skystriker mold (including Starscream), Gobots Sky-Jack, The G2 Cyberjets. Hasbro could do a smart move by doing a Jetfire(based on the Toy) and a Skyfire(based on the cartoon). Probably there will be a 1985 Top-Gun movie repaint, I bet it will be inside a G1 Style box...

[@protozoalord]

I'd love to see a Pork Chop Express from Big Trouble in Little China

[@marcelmoreau2733]

KITT from Night Rider. The truck/helicopter from mostlybforgotten show The Highwayman. Cab of truck is cockpit for helicopter. The trailer opens like Optimus' and tail and rotors of copter are hidden inside. The General Lee. Ateam Van. The car from The Wraith. Gadget Mobile. Mystery Machine.

[@marcelmoreau2733]

@Duke Nukem any of vehicles from M.A.S.K. already have 2 forms, just need robot form to be Triple changers.

[@marcelmoreau2733]

@Duke Nukem one of my fav toys ever, was the guy with the bike that became a helicopter.

[@marcelmoreau2733]

@Duke Nukem always wanted but never got the villains truck to tank thing. My cousin had the car to plane. Sorry, too tired to google names and hard to recall after 30 yrs.

[@marcelmoreau2733]

@Duke Nukem no choice now. Too old and too much joint pain to be a trouble maker now. As Toby Keith song says: "I'm not as goodd now as I once was but I'm Im as good once as I ever was."

[@mokeimusic]

I was stationed in Oceania with VF-101 and then went to Atsugi where VF-154 Black Knights were the last F-14 Squadron in Japan. Even the Japanese fell in love with the Tomcat and were sad to see it go.

[@ronnielane8985]

The next one is actually announced, Ultimate X-Spanse, which is the X-Men's blackbird jet as a Transformer, in Toybiz-flavor retro packaging. I love it.

[@billpagan3070]

Dan, You and I have so much in common friend! I wanted to be a fighter pilot growing up. I turned 45 on December 7 of this year and even now I wish I could fly! Top Gun influenced me so much and I still love Aviation today! THANK YOU for your dad’s service to our Country! My son was a Marine!👍🙏🇺🇸

[@Biofan813]

Still waiting for K.I.T.T., and honestly Herbie/Horace would be great too! They allready have the VW molds too.

[@curbydinobot8633]

How cool would a decepticon Christine be?

[@theslayerofsimps8100]

I'm thinking use a prowl mold for kitt so you can get the light in the from on the chest

[@seanagulan9481]

@@curbydinobot8633 But acted similar as Armada Starscream.

[@BigChunkOfFuckOffCunt77]

Your honesty is appreciated.

[@largo621]

Good to know I wasn't alone in having trouble getting the hands and the volleyball out.

[@Gappasaurus]

Eagerly awaiting the announcement of a Collaborative figure of *Knightboat: The Crime-Solving Boat* 😄

[@chikex]

They COULD use the high tech boat from Thunder in Paradise to make a character...

[@williamwright2413]

Air Wolf, knight rider Kit, and yes the A team van, will probably be next

[@curbydinobot8633]

Batmobile, tmnt party wagon, Christine

[@bizophone]

I'd buy a Transformers AIRWOLF for a dollar.

[@HravnOdinsson01]

I was just about to bring up airwolf then I saw your comment lol.

[@MudSluggerBP]

I’d definitely go for a Blue Thunder, just a more pleasing looking chopper 👍🏻

[@OldManTheseDays]

Airwolf. If I had one request of Hasbro for this line... it would be Airwolf.

[@leebirdwell7783]

Hasbro could modify the War For Cybertron seeker mold into a Colonial Viper from Battlestar Galactica!

[@crossbones13]

Betting this toy shows up in Dan's top toys on 2020!

[@ToyGalaxy]

It's going to be close.

[@thebenalvarez]

Keep the box man. Sounds like you have great memories from your childhood. Hanging out on carriers?! Wow.

[@chikex]

I hope to see it retooled and recolored to look like Leader-1. (Yes, I know Leader-1 was a F-15, but this would separate it from all the Seekers.) (Also, in case it isn't known, Hasbro owns the Gobots property as well now, hence a Crasher figure (Fracture, since the name was lost) and Bug Bite (An interesting read for those who like Transformers/Gobots))

[@caincha]

Now I want to see this thing painted as a Macross/Robotech jet just because you mentioned it… Come on make it happen 😃

[@biddrickbidmen4774]

If Hasbro doesn't give us a Griswold Family Truckster transformer we all riot. And it's name HAS to be Gris.

[@lorcannagle]

Maverick really feels like Hasbro wanting to get a VF-1 back into the toyline.

[@johntan4997]

Really looks like a VF-1 knockoff. Feels so cheap.

[@lorcannagle]

@@johntan4997 I'm sure some of it is just because it's an F-14 and the VF-1 is based on the same airframe, but between the weird weathering (apparently Northrop Grumman insisted on it), some odd plastic choices for tolerances, and that excessive price tag it's just... no.

[@JeffreyPiatt]

@@lorcannagle odd choices in design always happen when Hasbro and Takara TOMY have to deal with licensed Alt modes. My first reaction to the stock images was that that made a new Cyberjet mold from G2.

[@joelflinchum7053]

Next crossover is 90s cartoon X-Men blackbird transformer called Ultimate X-Spanse. I got gigawatt luckily found one at gamestop.

[@BertRamDam]

What a shame! I’ll consider picking this up in the future if it gets a repaint. Definitely liking the GI Joe idea, hope Hasbro considers it. Can you imagine if they make a whole line of transformers based on Joe and Cobra vehicles...could work if they’re designed well.

[@seanagulan9481]

Spoiler Alert! The Megatron/HISS Tank is so bad.

[@davidelistonii5225]

Crossover Transformers are my guilty pleasure, or is it a fetish. Picked him up awhile ago and I love it. I even turned the box into a stand.

[@GravyNavy09]

Didn't realize Dan was a military brat too, hello from a 1980s army brat who also loves top gun and transformers. OG jetfire and any robotech/macross toys I could get my hands scratched my F14 transforming itch back in the day.

[@darkmyro]

next up, the mystery machine! ( I wouldn't be surprised XD)

[@ElGordoBandito]

This one is an easy (if upsetting) pass. I’d like to see a transformer of the Ninja Turtles Party Wagon though. Or the Munster Koach and Dragula!

[@jonathanward8967]

I can almost guarantee they will at least do a recolor of this figure. Just a month ago I saw online Target is getting an updated Ectotron with a new headsculpt and at least a 2nd translucent ghost. So the hope for making this guy the bot he needs to be

[@MrMark-hm9lk]

This is how old school collectors of wind up toys and baseball cards reviewed new 1980s Star Wars action figures. Why? Why? For who? Lol this is made for mash up fans of the early 2000s who watched old classic moves like Top Gun, Ghostbusters, Transformers, and Back to the Future with their dads.

[@jesseperry9602]

K.I.T.T., A-Team van, and Airwolf would be awesome!

[@mrjones5025]

"Any vehicle from the 80's is in play! K.I.T.T., the General Lee, I dunno!" "well, maybe not the general lee...."

[@mrgreatbigmoose]

Heck yeah the General Lee! He wouldn't run on energon but on moonshine and constantly unable to completely transform because his doors are welded shut!

[@dgray7537]

The Generally

[@johnosbourn4312]

They could do the basic car that the General is; a '69 Dodge Charger R/T, but, ditch the Confederate Flag, and put a giant Autobot logo on the roof, instead.

[@GangstaMojo]

You waited that Magnum PI Ferrari comes out.... and if they do the Batmobile I'm sold

[@HossTheSlop]

Could have the A Team van, the Fall Guy truck... So many awesome 80s vehicles.

[@mrgreatbigmoose]

BIGFOOT!

[@Jeff-mac-me]

Hey man that's awesome, my pop did 20 in the navy himself, and I too, am a huge fan of f-14's best fighter ever. He was on the Kitty Hawk and the Ranger throughout his career in the 80's. The transformer kinda sucks, but hey, F-14's!

[@theslayerofsimps8100]

I want to see the A team van ... And it better have a mohawk in robot mode

[@demgutts]

Air wolf, k.i.t.t, automan and the a-team truck would be crazy

[@AlejandroGonzalez-ny75]

I received mine on Friday. I got it for the same reasons, like Top Gun and like Transformers. Had to get it.

[@mattsquires2622]

That paint job you can say is in........ the danger zone

[@Law030811]

Hiiiiiigh-wayyyyy tooooo Dan's collection zone!

[@jakejager]

I definitely get Veritech vibes from this and I love it!

[@richardrussell7082]

Weaknesses: Jetwash ..... too soon man... too soon

[@cobrala1641]

This looks more like a prototype. And I agree. Very strange crossover.

[@rayvinson1414]

I like the idea of the A-Team van, or even the Dukes car. The name and flag aren’t needed just the orange Charger would be enough. Better yet, a line of M.A.S.K transformers (deluxe size or larger) would be awesome. And yes Virginia there is a line of micro masters (all two of them) out there, but something larger with greater detail and even a triple change gimmick to represent the battle mode from the toy line.

[@SamuraiEAC]

15:35 That thing is FUGLY! I was excited to see it, but once it was done, and seeing the color of the plastic and wonky transformation and overall aesthetic, it was a good idea that fell way short.

[@Gojitron1]

I'm pretty sure this was supposed to release along with the new movie but covid screwed up the timing.

[@LlanoRiverBlue]

I've sat this line out so far but if they make an 89 Batmobile I might succumb. A Turtle Van would also be radical. Heck, why stop at vehicles, let's see what they could do with Bill and Ted's phone booth!

[@ToonamiT0M]

DANGER ZONE!!!

[@3minutegenius571]

That thing is sick. Wow wow wow.

[@CinemaSeven]

I love the F-14 cos of the Macross Valkyries. There's a local toy shop here in Austin that had those figures. I saw them and honestly I'm not a fan. Don't like their humanoid look but love their vehicle modes (Ecto-1, Delorean, Tomcat)

[@james_havlin]

In Top Gun (2) Maverick, his F14 Tomcat from the first movie is now a gate guard. It’s shown in the Trailer.

[@andrewthielmann5342]

I'll end up keeping mine in the box for sure. I've got the SDCC Joe Crossover sets so he'll go with them on display I think.

[@michaelangotti5320]

If they don’t do the Mimi from Riptide, WE REVOLT!!

[@JamesDitmer]

I bought one and it just arrived. I love the idea of these crossovers but have to say the execution of Gigawatt and Ectotron were better, but I can't help it... It's a Top Gun Transformer!

[@bronco12127]

top movie ever Top Gun.. Top toy ever Transformers. love this toy

[@ahchiu9]

The most obvious 80's car to get this treatment would be Turbo Teen

[@sethdubois318]

The figure looks better here than it did in other reviews I watched. But, I really hate the plastic and the paint job. I'd consider picking another release of the mold up depending on the color scheme. But, I don't regret cancelling my preorder. Fwiw, it's rare that I'm able to transform a new figure without the instructions. I appreciate a nice simple transformation, but part of what draws me to new releases is the impressive engineering that goes into them.

[@AllBreaksLoose]

I like the design a lot. Would make a pretty cool veritech fighter.

[@LEGENDCITYest1963]

I'm Autobot Danger Zone and I'm here to buzz the tower....

[@Convoy00X]

You say the F-14 is the best yet this is a world with A-10.

[@orinanime]

They should make Airwolf Street Hawk. They wouldn't even have to change the name. They already sound like Transformers names.

[@utoobbloz]

That Transformer is made to stay in the package - as good as it looks, in-box, that's how cheap it looks outside. I actually got tense, watching you transform it, thinking it would fall apart in your hands. Minimal effort in its development and painting...total cash-in on Gen-X nostalgia and collectors' need to own 'em all. Call me jaded, but when I realized that orb was a volleyball, I just rolled my eyes. Nice robot head and that's about it. I feel the need, the need to save my money.

[@ToyGalaxy]

I can hear all that. That said... I love it. It would have been my all time favorite toy if it had come out in 1986. I'm going to get a second one and have a friend paint it for me.

[@utoobbloz]

I can respect that. If it had been released in '86 I would've been all over it, and I wasn't even a big Top Gun fan (I just loved the Transformer jets). I just wish the craftsmanship matched the truly great concept that it is.

[@dellwalker430]

Next up: Baby-tron the 67 Chevy from Supernatural, Kit-icon from Night Rider, Giga Prime from Mad Max, Eleanor Jack from Gone in 60 Seconds, and of course General LeeBot from the Dukes of Hazard.

[@jonathanwhistler9081]

I WANT THAT!!!

[@prophet924]

Bring on the Party Wagon! They messed up the paint for sure. It should be more cohesive. The helmet is cool. It looks cool as a jet.

[@rayzaramon6598]

Transformers heads have ALWAYS been undersized. At least the 1rst Gen ones i used to own.

[@atomicamelancolica]

Loved the transforming music, really beautiful... cheers! :)

[@torpedo8384]

Need at least 2 SkyStriker repaints, standard and Night Force. I figure the Other crossovers share engineering with mainline Transformers (Ectotron/Combiner Wars Hot Spot and Gigawatt/Siege Sideswipe), so possibly? And that’s surprisingly little bot kibble in jet mode. Only thing missing is the unofficial Tomcat motto, Anytime Baby!

[@danielrecommends]

Yeah I got this guy too. I haven't opened him or Ectotron yet but I may go ahead and do that. I probably won't be transforming him though.

[@mikeaaron2112]

I had a go-bot that looked JUST like the robot mode of this guy.. Obviously smaller

[@snukastyle]

I think the paintjob is supposed to be some variation of the digital-style camo, but it was really half-assed. The bare portions of it make it look cheap, like you said.

[@curbydinobot8633]

Different versions of the batmobiles would make awesome transformers. Or mabye the turtles party wagon that transforms into metal head. Christine could be a decepticon.

[@ericturczynowsky3243]

Hasbro should do Sonny Crockett's Ferrari from Miami Vice next...that's pretty 80's right?!

[@schmaudog]

Its funny that this has a legit jet mode and so-so robot when Studio Series Blitzwing was the exact opposite.

[@ToyGalaxy]

I want that SS Blitzwing but refuse to buy it because they didn't go with the actual F4 Phantom alt mode.

[@jreichert37]

Watching you transform that makes me miss the simplicity of gobots

[@SuperiorAmericanGuy]

They might as well do rooster as a super hornet and the rogue nation pilots as the Su-57 fifth generation fighters.

[@BenRollier]

Maybe an Airwolf one? Could be cool.

[@maybetoby]

I also purchased this. They should've just retooled and repainted that same Jetfire mold you showed.

[@MudSluggerBP]

F-14 is definitely the best Fighter Plane. The SR-71 is THE best Plane 👍🏻

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

Haa. I saw the Ecto1 in the thumbnail, so i clicked.👍 I too really like the F14 & Most transforming ones. Edit: Wholly Shit! That's a Transformer Ecto1?! That's Soo Awesome 🤯 i Have to get one.

[@mmapanda4020]

I bought 2. I'll keep 1 in the packaging and the other to repaint. Then I can buy a low cost F-14 model kit and use the decals from that. Gonna look awesome.

[@CardboardBots]

Wow, what a wasted opportunity. This toy needed opaque plastic and sensible use of paint. Someone should be fired for greenlighting this as is. The ko companies will upscale this and give it better materials and paint and it will be a winner.

[@RobCamp-rmc_0]

How about the Gran Torino from Starsky & Hutch? Or maybe the helicopters, Airwolf and Blue Thunder. Wait, it just occurred to me: *the V8 Interceptor from Mad Max.* It could be a Junkion from the old movie, like Wreck-Gar.

[@TerranIV]

I need a K.I.T.T. Transformer STAT!!!

[@JeffreyPiatt]

The G2 Cyberjet mold was been remade.

[@hgc7000]

This was a pre order for me, then I started to see more close-up images. Yeah, I cancelled my pre order. The upcoming Selects Sandstorm with a similar (but desert-esq) drab camo motif looks infinitely better.

[@YT0091]

Exact same for me.

[@Byrdznyst]

Got Tha Maverick, Starscream With Top Gun Helmet *

[@dariusq8894]

I feel you. These three are just a bundle of nostalgia. I even tracked down the 2018 JP Millenium Falcon to complete the theme. Super 80s Squad - TRANSFORM!!!

[@GOSANDO2]

I Love it.

[@Neitenth]

This was sold at the leader-class price point.

[@kidwajagstang]

I think it’s a great idea. So I would be another person that this was made for. I WISH I knew about this when they were available :( Unfortunately they are way too expensive now. I think it’s especially cool that it’s a completely new sculpt, no reused parts. Maybe one day I’ll get a loose one..

[@johnosbourn4312]

Hey, Dan, since you love the Tomcat, I recommend that you aquire a copy of Tomcat Tails, which I have.

[@joecamel1079]

Would be sick if they did the dodge M4S turbo interceptor from the wraith movie

[@Rattrap007]

Would buy a KITT or A-Team van

[@YT0091]

The designer did a great job then sent it over to the paint and color guy who was drunk off his ass. Cast it in a proper gray and give it an actual paint job and it would be fantastic.

[@erickavery1]

looks like they announced the next one, the Blackbird from the xmen cartoon

[@Sharemycosplay]

I like the way you think. GI Joe Crossover would be amazing. You totally nailed it, on how ugly it looks with no paint. I collect a lot of transformers, and this one is a hard pass for me. Glad you're enjoying it!

[@lowellmartens6135]

It really looks like a discount store, off brand transforming robot, not an official product.

[@daltononeill5026]

Its got a flight port might have to get now

[@strfy3492]

vf-0 from Macross Zero is basically a f14

[@Your.typical.German.2.]

There should be a top gun Miigs (Deception)
