In a desperate bid to appeal to an alternate-universe version of myself in which the arrested development has taken on a kind of chronic, consumeristic fever pitch, someone has dreamed up and brought to reality G.I. JOE vs. TRANSFORMERS, featuring GI Joes and even some robot Janes. I was enthralled with the revamped GI Joe line when they went from the 12" figures to the small, micronaut scale figures. I never got into Transformers; I thought they were a rip-off of the Japanese mecha that I was watching from age 6. (linked via Seiburtron, though I have no idea how I ended up there)
"I can see you happy in the shadows I despise..."
I hate to say it, but there was a Joe / TF crossover comic in the 80's that was a 3 or 4 issue miniseries. I think I may still have a couple issues from it.
ReplyDeleteAnd the female autobot was introduced with the movie like 20 years ago - her name is Arcee, and if you want to truly witness dork epilepsy I'm sure you can find some pornographic renderings of her if you look hard enough.
I'm pretty sure that's the series they're revamping in the article to which I linked.
ReplyDeleteAnd I will avoid looking for Arcee fanfics, slashfics, and fan art.
