Toy manufacturer Hasbro has announced a crossover of some type between its Transformers line and Marvel Comics' Uncanny X-Men some time in 2ꩵ021 as part of its Transformers Collaborative line, 🌞as announced on .
A teaser image posted on Hasbro's Facebook page shows the X-Men's iconic Blackbird jet alongside the Autobots logo, and the caption "Gu🤡ess what's neXt?" with a stylized capital X.
Though Hasbro's simple teaser dꩲoesn't indicate anything about what shape the Transformers/X-Men crossover might take, be it a comic book, toyline, or something else, the 'Transformers Collaborative' branding on the teaser may offer some ideas. Transformers Collaborative is a Hasbro line in which characters from Transformers crossover with other franchises, with previous iterations including both toys and comic books.
Previous Transformers Collabora🐻tive crossovers have included Transformers/Ghostbusters, which included a Transformers toy based on the Ghostbusters' Ecto-1 alongside the five-issue Transformers/Ghostbusters: Ghosts of Cybertron limited series from IDW Publishing.
Likewise, Transformers Collaborative's second crossover mashed up Transformers and Back to the Future for a DeLorean Transformer toy named Gigawatt, and a four-issue IDW Publishing limited series. The most recent collaboration was a🌠 Top Gun-themed Transformer toy called Maverick, which did notಞ include an accompanying comic book series.
Judging by the art in the teaser, we may be looking at a Transformers figure of the X-Men's Blackbird jet – and perh🍨aps an accompanying comic book series. If the X-Men and Transformers do cross over on the page, it wouldn't be the first time Transformers characters have met Marvel heroes – the New Avengers crossed over with the Transformers for a 2007 comic book limited series.
In fact, Hasbro already has an SR-71 Blackbird style Transformer: Jetfire. Could an X-Men themed recolor♍ be in the works?
And, the idea of a crossover in comics doesn't se🧔em so far-fetched, even in today's corporate comic book climate. Not only does Hasbro own an action 💛figure license for Marvel, creating the ongoing Marvel Legends toyline, IDW Publishing, who publishes Transformers comic books, has also created licensed comics for Marvel – and they're no stranger to crossovers with companies like DC and Image.
Representatives for Hasbro's PR firm, Litzky Public Relations, offered n🔯o further information.
