    Yeah, I have no problem with selling out to Schick or hilariously gratuitous Doritos product placement, but I do hate crossovers when they're clearly different universes. Good Transformers crossovers include Spider-Man in Transformers #3 when it was part of the Marvel U, and likewise Circuit Breaker; Marissa Faireborn and Snake in the G1 cartoon; 'Ancient Relics' in Transformers/Action Force; Bumblebee becoming Goldbug in G.I. Joe and the Transformers, Megatron becoming G2ised in G.I. Joe, etc.

    Transformers and Evangelion are distinctly different universes, and every time I think about Optimus Prime in Tokyo-3 I want to curl up into a foetal position or run away.

    After the recent IDW crossovers with TFs that were more "what if" than in-canon for either universe (Zombies and Xfiles... and I wish I could say the Avengers one as well), other random "what if" crossovers wouldn't be a huge stretch of the imagination anymore... could be interesting, and draw in fans to both series.

    I saw this EVA 'Optimus' in various news sites but i think the posts were subsequently removed. It's so ... weird looking; might get one.

    It's not a real figure, it's someone's custom that got used as part of a prank and a bunch of sites and at least one webstore all got sucked in by it

    No details or products to be revealed until the end of the month... but it suggests there will be toys.

    If the art is any indication, there will be an Eva Unit-01 variant of MP-10. Makes me wonder if any other MP mold will be redonein Unit-00 and Unit-02 colours.

    But seriously, slap the name Convoy on anything and it will sell there.
    Any figure that comes with swords demands wrist articulation.
