I Love the Swapticon Promo Art of Happy Deinobot So Much

(Shame that Dinobot is Paired with Beast Wars Megatron and Not BW Optimus but whatever)

These are the goofiest god damn things in the universe and I need more of them.

Like, who did Hasbro let cook? ‘Cause whoever made these tactile motherfuckers needs a raise.

I thought of Emgo's Megs & Wave when I saw this. Those two have always butted heads! 😆

So some more stuff about the Swapticons toys came out, that better explains what it is.

Originally I was thinking it would be a resurrection of an abandoned idea from the 80’s:

But the gimmick seems to be closer Micromaster Combiners and Crash Combiners.

While the idea is to combine two guys to form a single vehicle, you can combine them with different characters outside their assortment so so if you want the front half of a car with the back half of a jet, there ya go.

These follow a similar idea but how they work still isn’t fully understood yet as of typing. I’m not sure if it’s a horse costume idea, that is one is the front, the other the back or if it’s something like this:

It’s why I’m not understanding the Ravage and Shadow Panther idea specifically because if we’re to assume Ravage is his G1 self…

How is this supposed to work?

Still the mix and match idea sounds fun since unlike the Hero Mashers attempts, these toys can actually, y’know, Transform! So Optimus’s truck cab with Cheetor’s cheetah butt combined together could be interesting.

I don’t think these are meant to be associated with CyberWorld, but it would be fun to see it implemented there, just to see how nuts it is in a cartoon setting that preferably isn’t trying so hard to be serious.

Two robots that form different halves of a different vehicle or beast is ripe for goofy shenanigans, especially if they make Megatron or Clench combine with something ridiculous.

Blackarachnia and Tarantulus being Together Feels So Wrong

(I know they are Both Spiders But don't they Hate Each Other????)

[pocoslip]

Clench should've been Paired with Motormaster instead of Nemesis Prick

(In my Opinion anyway because I Fricking Hate Nemesis Prime So much)

When Snarl and Grimlock Paired Together like Three Times for some reason

(I'm gonna be Honest, I don't like the Cyberworld Design for Snarl, who looks like a Junkion to me)
