He is an awesome figure. Mostly. I picked one up. His tank mode looks great, and his robot body is awesome. His feet could have been a little better, but I guess they are design so he does not fall. My only real gripe is the head. Looks like frankenstein. I saw a nice custom where someone made a Megatron head for it. I am not into the whole crossover thing myself, but I figured I could come up with a better head to put on the body. I thought maybe even a cover plate and make him like a regular headless mecha that has sort of a center cockpit. Hes worth checking out. EDIT: Here is a quick test I did. His head pops off. Its just a ball joint. So you can machine done the ball and pop on other heads. Here is a test I did with a KO Mini combiner I got from biglots. I bet if I painted the head to match a little better this would look pretty good. I might look at other head options next time I got to Biglots. vs This.

I found the head I am going with. I just need to repaint the helmet part. I am thinking the gold of the gears or the Purple-gray of the treads.

so, how are these for transformers? i was stoked until i saw the actual product, then sad because they look like tonka or 1-2-3 versions. I was so hoping for Iron Man of this series.

I did not buy the others cause I did not like the Robot modes. As for the hulk one, it is a clever transformation. The arms are tricky to fully transform. I give the figure a 95 out of 100, less the head. I hate the head very much. I am going to paint my new head to mach, then I will have a figure I am very happy with.
Check out this video with more details on the transformation.
He also has vids of the others.

I got the first 4. They're better than most SWTF, but Venom's robot mode is a mixed bag, he has a very weird torso. I for one love Iron Man. Hulk has a great robot mode too. Spidey's has 2 good modes.

I finished him. I am happy with him as my first toy bash. The robot his head came from was called Sixliner. I think the head reminds me a lot of Ultra Magnus. Something about his colors makes me think Decepticon so I will call him, Ultra Nemesis. Now I just need a couple Decepticon stickers and he is done.

Thanks. I forgot to mention, I needed to repaint his face too. The silver really only covered part of his face. Once the helmet area was painted there was an orange outline around his face. So I had to go back in with a find brush and some silver metallic paint. Testors acrylic metallic silver for airbrush is a perfect color match for the face.

Ahhh no. What's great about the fig is that it's retardedly awesome. It's HULK and it's a TANK. It's HULK TANK! Kick ass.

Try an Optimus Primal head. It will look perfect because of the huge ARMS. ;D

I have the Iron Man Crossovers Transformer. It's fun. Looks decent in either mode though the jet mode isn't as solid as I'd like.
