I have a great idea for a TF toyline that they should put me in charge for coming up with.

TF/GI Joe WWII.
The comics did it all wrong.

I think we all realize that GI Joe has lost popularity over the years. We need some hardcore, realistic, cool, 3 3/4 inch soldiers. That being said, let's take a look at what these American Heroes would ride around in.

Optimus Prime: M26 Dragon Wagon

Ironhide: GMC CCKW

Trailbreaker: Dodge Power Wagon

Ratchet: Dodge WC54 Field Ambulance

Prowl: Ford M20 "Greyhound"

Megatron: PzKpfw. VI Ausf. B King Tiger

Shockwave: FlaK 36 L/56 88mm

Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp: Me-262 Schwalbe


Need I say more? What? What about the Autobot Cars, you say? Oh, I'll get to them.

i think prowl should be a jeep because the field commanders were drivin in the around them and prowl is a tactition if i remember right besides that all looks great that would make a great toy line

TT, get on the phone to them and tell 'em!!!

That would be so cool to see. maybe some of the airborne autobots could be allied aircraft. Somebody would have to be the jap zero just for me since its my favorite wwII aircraft.

The Aerialbots are the obvious choice for planes, would Jetfire make a good jap zero?

jetfire would be a mitchel b25

Got a pic or a link for that?

enjoy

Thanks Kup, that is actually quite a nice plane. I wonder if it would look as nice if it was Jetfire and he was spiralling downwards in a ball of flames trailing smoke!!

I think you're onto something with the command jeep, but the Greyhound was used as a patrol and recon vehicle too. And for Jetfire, the biggest jet, i was thinking the biggest bomber: the Avro Lancaster

Airborne Autobots?

Silverbolt: North American B-25 "Mitchell" (see above)
Air Raid: North American P-51D (seen here next to his later form, the F-15)
Skydive: Republic P-47 Thunderbolt
Fireflight: Lockheed P-38 Lightning
Slingshot: Gloster Meteor

Astrotrain: BR57 Armored Train, Arado Ar-232

What about the Memphis Belle!? Alternat mode for swoop maybe?

You are saying that TF's didn't go downhill with the anime-ish/cgi cartoons?

G.I.Joe has always kept 3 & 3/4 inch soldiers (usually only at TRU and based on the 80's comics rather than cartoon), and the 25th anniversary Joe v/s Cobra series is right on time (I have most of these already, and they are exactly like the "Classics" series was to tf's).

But your idea for the vehicles, brilliant.

We need a chopper for Wild Bill, tough.

no P51 mustang TT? shame on you.

Yes the flying fortress would be sweet.

I think starscream should be a blimp. Lame and usless.

Oh good lord! What a delicious idea!!!!!!!! Hee hee! *jumps up and down* You're a stinkin' genius!!!!!!!!

Oh! And Starscream could be one of the Grumman warbirds! One of those beautiful grey and white camo jets!


I wish you could suggest all of those great ideas to Hasbro, but they'd send you a disclaimer form letter saying that their legal deparment blah blah......ideas and legal entanglement yah yah.....

They did to me.... but my idea was to have a G.I.Joe medieval warrior set featuring figures from crucial points in history for the evolution of armor from chain mail to plate. Like 12th century Norman warrior...(Battle of Hastings 1066) up to the 15th century (the last real heyday for plate armor being functional on battlefield).

Since you had the WWII idea...maybe you could have a series of WWI Transformers I have one....a Curtiss Jenny Decepticon called "Deathtrap" Or how about an Autobot Sopwith Camel called "Snooper" (little nod to C. Schultz) hmmm?

I don't think that'd work though that wood and canvas would give it up after a half transformation.

Sorry to bump this, but Optimus Prime Rib's question made me remember it was here, and that i haven't checked it.

Nightshade.. I do have a P51 Mustang. I just botched the phpbb code. I'll fix that in a second. Also, I mean to come back here and add some more names to this list.

Somewhere around here, I had a roster of autobots as muscle cars. wonder where that went.
