I think the sellling point of this isnt Megatron by himself, or even the Hiss tank. Its the form where its Megatron with a turret on his back that you can put Baroness into. That is awesome. Even if it shouldve been made with better plastics and less hollow.

Ah, the elastic band, that takes me back! A few classic 3 3/4 inch action figures (GI Joe most famously, but also lines like Masters of the Universe & Visionairies) utilised them in some fashion, either in the waist or hip joints. Great retro touch.

Definitely! The Hiss tank came out much better than the Robot mode. A black scheme would have helped a LOT - Megatron has been a lot of different colors over the years (even, ahem, a black stealth fighter). If they hadn't been trying so hard to make him G-1 Megs they could have made that removable plate just rotate down onto his chest (nixing the kibble), black feet would hide better, and the robot mode would have looked a LOT more coherent.....

Oh Dear. Despite the initial wave of disappointment, I was holding fast to my preorder thinking this guy couldn't be THAT bad! I gotta say, I'm horrified. For the price, the figure is unforgivably lightweight and hollow. This is just over the price-point of a commander class figure in the main line. So, I was expecting something reasonably close the engineering and quality we have already gotten from Jetfire, Skylynx, or Rodimus. Also, I was super excited for an official GI Joe/Transformers crossover. Something that has been a loooong time coming. Now I'm torn, Do I support the concept I was soo excited for and hope dearly for better figures will come, or do I abandon ship now? Maybe 3rd party figures will come to fill this void?

The priority of the tank mode is so evident. I'm glad it can fit a 3.75 figure inside the cockpit, but I think the second compartment in the turret could have been replaced with automated machineguns that could transform (or even better, a proper tank turret that would've been the perfect way to integrate a properly sized Fusion Cannon into it).

Thanks for the review! When I first saw this, I thought YES! TAKE MY MONEY! However, the more I've seen of it, the more it just looks like a really cheap attempt to cash in on the two franchises... It's not a cheap toy, the quality should be so much higher and although I'd still want this, I'll wait for it to be in the £50 region - which I don't expect to happen anyway... :( As for the Baroness, yeah it's a spin on the 80's figure complete with the rubber band holding the figure complete BUT over time it degrades and your figures falls to bits.

I've wanted Transformers figures that can accommodate a G.I.Joe figures for so long, and this does that. Personally, I think they would have been better off just making these bots in their respective alt mods, and just decorate with Joe deco. Still, I think these are very neat for what they are. I am willing to forgive areas where corners were cut because of what it is trying to do. I knew that because it does have the feature of a 3.75" figure being it's pilot/driver, that it was going to be a kibble nightmare. That said, I am still looking forward to getting mine because this is a total nostalgia piece. Or rather, the nostalgia that could have been because this is long overdue. I just hope they go in a better direction with Optimus because I am sure he's the next one after Bumblebee

Well then. After watching this review, it seems I feel as though I made the right call to cancel my preorder for this guy. I agree that the HISS Tank was most likely the priority for the toy, but then Megatron suffers as a result and he really does come off as mediocre. I like the Human Alliance incorporation, and yet I just can't see myself spending $90+ on a mediocre release like this. What really got me was when you said he's made of the same kind of plastic prone to yellowing, which is definitely a major turnoff. I don't want to spend $90 on a half-good toy that's just going to turn all yellow and nasty later.

holy smokes. I want this but I was about to pass on it until you pulled the back pack with the baroness off. Truth be told if they could have found a way to make some more of his kibble become a domed front ent of the Baronesses Pod ( as seen in some G.I.Joe Cartoons) this would've been even better. I love that it's a H.I.S.S tank which was my first G.I Joe toy as a kid, and Also the way the Baroness figure has the rubber and torso is they way every G.I.Joe figure came back in the day so be careful not to see how many times you can twist her legs around for her to do a spectacular helicopter kick because you will break it..... eventually. great vid Prime

At least now if you still have the GI Joe Street Fighter figures, you can have Bison or Sagat with Megatron. LOL!!

It's fun to hear someone review a classic GIJoe figure as if they have never seen one before. (I'm a long time GIJoe collector.) It's obvious concessions were made to put all the focus in to the alt mode of this figure which I'm fine with. Much is made of the back section but it's like that as a necessity to maintain the functionality between the GIJoe figure and the Transformer. If there was a joint to fold down, it would probably collapse too much when trying to keep it up so a figure can be in the turret. For the record, it appears to be nearly identical in size to the original HISS tank. Personally I love this, I ordered 2.

If you want him to carry Baroness in robot mode it'll be much harder to accomplish. The cannon refuses to stay attached as well which is even more annoying.

It's a Transformers character with G.I. Joe production values, so I'd say that's your crossover. It's pretty clear that you've never held any old scg ool Joe toys, because everything about this toy screams that. From the 'hollow' plastic to the typical rubber band holding the human action figure together. There is a certain appeal to that, just as the old G1 toys have their own appeal.

I personally don’t consider accessories to be partsforming, no matter how much they integrate into the vehicle. Of course, I probably still won’t pick this up for various reasons ranging from not really wanting another Megatron to the Baroness not lining up with my preferred scaling.

Much as the HISS tank is one of my most favourite GI Joe vehicles, this ain't great. The hollowness and crazy amount of kibble is a bit much. Bit surprised they included the Baroness as the drive rather than a HISS driver or Destro.

I like the concept, however they could’ve definitely done better to merge the figure. It looks like someone just put a DNA kit on him and called it a “crossover” instead of it just flowing together.

The O-ring rubber band waist on the GI Joe figures is how the original 1980's toys were made. I've snapped MANY a figure in half during play as a kid. The tank looks great. The Baroness looks fab. I agree, the robot mode of Megs just isn't the best. I think this figure's selling point is more for the GI Joe fans than it is for the Transformers fans.

So yeah arguably not a very good figure, but I saw some pictures of him in action poses with earthrise prime, and the way they scale together made me want him. Also its a fun gimmick so that helps.

I wish the figure incorporated more of the tank in Robot mode. Also a very dull gray, nothing like the gleaming silver of WFC Siege Walmart Megatron. Beautiful version of Megatron's colors. That Baroness is very fine though.

Its a cool concept as i have never seen GI joe before, but the robot mode's hollowness + plastic quality + articulation problems really warn me away from it. Plus they could've come up with a new character instead of using megatron, like maybe basing the new character off transformers prime soundwave or vehicons

Yeah, I just canceled my preorder on this one. I want to like it, but Great Primus, that robot mode looks like something I'd expect from a Core Class figure. Very inferior quality to previous Collaborative toys (the ones that weren't retools, anyway). Makes me worried about how the Bumblebee figure is going to turn out.

Yeah, you're expecting too much in regards to the gaps and such because the HISS tank got the biggest boost in that it is exactly a HISS Tank re-engineered to turn into a Megatron. I'm still on board for this because it displays well, which is the point. The O-Ring Baroness is what I'll be sidelining for the recently release retro version. Much better figures (which they should be being 30 years newer). And yes, it's hilarious you didn't see any o-ring Joes in your entire life.

I am bummed. Comparing this with the classified hiss, it feels like I let down. I don’t really do 3 3/4 anymore despite being primarily a G.I.Joe collector. I will have the haslab hiss and my favorite Megatron is still Combiner wars, so I think I am canceling my order.

I don't mind the more simplistic paint since this is kind of an 80s cartoon crossover set. But that massive backpack and the extreme hollowness is... bad. I may cancel my preorder, seeing how bad this is. If I do end up getting it, I will probably just keep this one MIB since that presentation actually seems better than playing with the toy. 😞 I hope Bumblee will be better, but it's already looking disappointing in the shots. Thanks for the comprehensive review!

It's a fine figure for those who like it. Which is okay. For me unfortunately, the hollowness of this figure reminds me of the cheap hollow Transformers you see at a Walgreens. Megatron looks like he has an outie. The H.I.S.S. tank mode looks okay though. They could have done a better job with the backpack. Especially with the plastic hatch just hanging in the back for it to so easily break. Especially if it takes an accidental tumble from the shelf or just falls backwards real hard. The price just doesn't seem worth it.
