Q&A for Transformers Fans, Day 27
Jul. 1st, 2015 11:36 pmCrossover: Is there a series that you'd like to see a crossover of with Transformers?
What don’t I want a crossover of? XD Let me see if I can narrow it down.
-Avengers (MCU) - I’ve wanted this since Iron Man, but the first Avengers movie sealed it for me - it’s so character-driven and heart-driven and genuinely funny and everything I wanted the Transformer movies to be. I want to see the Avengers and the Transformers snarking at each other and being suspicious and fascinated by turns before ultimately teaming up to defeat whoever the designated pinata is that week. I mean, holy shit, Tony would lose his motherloving mind, Steve and Optimus would get along like a house on fire, and Natasha would have the giant robots terrified of her. Also - Thor versus Decepticons. HOW COULD THAT BE ANYTHING BUT EPIC.
-Kingdom Hearts - KH is basically a crossover machine, so I feel like this is cheating, but - come on. Hot Rod wielding a Keyblade. Overlapping and shifting factions just getting more complicated when you add ‘Bots and ‘Cons. And Transformers also has that ‘ancient and deadly secret history’ theme going on, so there you go.
-Jem - because you KNOW Jazz is their biggest fan. Quite literally. You could cross that over with G1 and have it be seamless as far as wacky plots-of-the-week go, and Transformers always needs more amazing ladies.
-Mad Max: Fury Road - I think someone on Tumblr has already played with the idea of a Bayverse-esque Optimus as the War Rig, which really resonates with me. The idea that “everything’s quite thoroughly fucked, how do we come back from this?” is something that Bay!Optimus could probably relate to. So this image of him seeking redemption alongside Furiosa is a powerful one for me.
