JoeCustoms.com :: View topic - Tomahawk TF Crossover?

I was thinking that we would get an updated WHALE if we got any classic update at all, since it had an obvious TF crossover use as Seaspray (not an A-list character, but an obvious choice).

I'm hoping they do something with a new/nonpreviously rereleased vehicle. The WHALE would be fine with me. I have a feeling they won't though.

Something to think about is that Megatron was a pseudo-helicopter in Transformers:Animated. It was more akin to a Mamba as it was based on an Osprey, so it wasn't really a helicopter, but probably close enough to force the Tomahawk into a major character like Megatron.

Yeah, what about that one Autobot that was a Coast Guard like helicopter? Modify the tomahawk in those colors, throw in a pilot and Doc, there you go!

I was kinda thinking Blades from the Protectobots could work. But I agree there isn't an A Lister that'd work. I think Hound, Trailbreaker, Gears, or even Prime using the Retaliation Ninja VAMP would be better than trying to shoehorn a character onto a mold that doesn't really work for the character.

Where'd that copter called Evac come from? Maybe I don't pay as close attention to Transformers as I used to, but I don't ever recall seeing that.

Now that the Tomahawk has been revealed, does it make sense that they would use it as a TF crossover for SDCC as that has been sort of a pattern? If so, who would it be? Blackout?

That does make sense. - R

That is a good question. I don't think there is an obvious A-list or B-list character that would be an ideal match. Blades, Vortex, and Whirl would all be possibilities, and I think Blades would be the best fit of those options, but none of those characters feel like big enough names to sell a set. Blackout could be an option, though I personally hope not since I have zero interest in the Bayformers and would almost certainly skip such an offering. Before the Tomahawk/Eagle Hawk announcement, I was thinking that we would get an updated WHALE if we got any classic update at all, since it had an obvious TF crossover use as Seaspray (not an A-list character, but an obvious choice).

What about Springer?

But WHY does all the TF Crossovers have to be Decepticons???????? EVERY SINGLE one has been Decepticon..........Don't they need someone to fight?? Got to be a Autobot this yr.

I love the idea, but I also think the Tomahawk might be large enough (and expensive enough, especially as a convention exclusive) that most collectors would probably only have room and budget for the classic color/ non-exclusive version. I'd like it, though! Still holding out for that Renegades truck as Prime!

With all the "cost cutting", they could go backwards and give us a repainted Ninja Commando 4x4, paint it blue and call it Beachcomber and then charge the same price they did for Shockwave.

I would love to see a Trailbreaker-colored Ninja Combat Cruiser! This is already the year of Trailbreaker (er ... Trailcutter), so why not make another?

Maybe a different seeker jet then... But I could see the new vamp put out as an ironhide, given that he's a big black truck now. - R

Where'd that copter called Evac come from? Maybe I don't pay as close attention to Transformers as I used to, but I don't ever recall seeing that. I think Springer is a little unlikely since they're doing a Springer in the Transformers Classics line this year. Then again, that might make him a logical contender.
