What would they turn into? It makes no SENSE.

What also makes no sense is why this is a Japan-only thing. Both TFs and Disney are American (though I do know that TFs originated in Japan), so why isn't Hasbro-who normally makes these things-announcing this?

Disney is indeed american, but you have to see to believe the popularity of Mickey and Co in Japan! Trust me when I say it will freak you out!

Judging by the silhouette though, it looks like characters will piolt ships that are reminscent of themselves.

Intriguing and I must admit I am curious

A lot of things about Japan freak me out. Like Kiss Players, and vending machines which dispense used panties.

I do, however, know how enamoured they are with Disney. *coughKingdomHeartscough*

LOL! Well said!

Interestingly enough, My (Japanese) Missus walked in and saw the picture and was slightly amused. As opposed to her usualy *sigh* reaction I get with any other Transformers thing. So it looks like it will probably work in Japan at least..

I was afraid that crossovers were going to end up something like this. Before you know it any brand who pays enough money to Hasbro will have a crossover and we will end up with all sorts of 'no sense' transformers.

My concern is that this will dilute the Transformers brand name into a 'gimmick for hire' line.

What's next? Bratz crossovers?

Despite the fact that this Disney thing seems to be for Tomy rather than Hasbro, I think you misunderstand how the crossover things work. Marvel and Lucasfilm doesn't pay Hasbro to do Transformers Crossovers. Hasbro pays them (it helps that Hasbro also makes Marvel and Star Wars toys). All of the crossovers done so far have been with franchises and properties that are much bigger than Transformers and also happen to be part of Hasbro's product line.

As for this specific crossover, hasn't TakaraTomy been doing unconventional, short-lived TF toylines since 2006? Sports Label, Music Label, Kiss Players ect.

Despite who licenses who, the outcome is the same, more nonsense lines.

Takara has done mini lines like this before but never with a universal brand such as this.

disney characters becoming transformers is just silly, but if its like a story crossover like Gi-Joe or marvel that would be awesome. I loved Disney collaboration with Square-enix in Kingdom Hearts, reminds me i should get some formation art PVCs :D

While i don't doubt they exist, i've never seen one in person! And trust me when i say that the amount of vending machines they have over there has huge convenience and cost of living benefits, which is obvious just from the short time i've spent in Japan! Everyone would love it if we had the same kind of setup over here, perhaps excluding just the panties :)

Disney Transfirmers? I'm confused, what the hell will they transform into?

I believe the used-panties vending machines have been outlawed in most Prefectures now. And it wasn't based on anything to do with "morality" or "modesty" - someone pointed out that they were in violation of hygene laws. :p

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! this would mean there will never be a Looney Tunes crossover $%#^ you Disney why do you have to get your grubby hands into erverything.... i mean if this was gonna be WB crossover line that would be way better but Disney grrrrrrrr!!!!!!
