Apparently, this is the year of Marvel! - CW Scrounge
- TR Optimus's head, based on Pre-war Optimus from issue one, page one
- MP Ratbat in Marvel colors
- Dr Biggles-Jones
- Scarlet, as she appeared in the G2 tie-ins
- G2 Megatron, specifically a marvel call out given he's with Ratbat, Scarlet, and Biggs.
So, what direct Marvel influenced toys have we gotten in the past? - MP Grimlock in Marvel colors: with a Marvel crown
- Generations Darkmount: a direct Straxus toy
- BW Scorponok: face sculpt clearly inspired by Andrew Wildman's art
- MP G2 Sideswipe: there's nothing about this that ISN'T Marvel.
- RtS Mindset, and whatever his moldmate is called: inspired by G2 Mindset
- Most Bludgeons: any Bludgeon that has both a samurai motiff AND a Sword are definitely Marvel influenced.
- Hybrid THS-02B Black Convoy: Comes with two heads inspired by Yaniger's G2 style.
- Nucleon Quest Convoy: Story directly references Marvel's Optimus.
- Anything called Wreckers.
- Ehobby Galvatron II
- Lucky Draw Primus
- Cybertron Primus
- Jhiaxus
- Kreon GB Blackrock
- Botcon Ferak and Tornado
- TFCC Minicons AstroHook, AstroLine, and AstroSinker
- United Wipeout
I know I'm forgetting a fair few. Any hubbers know of any I can't remember, or don't know about? (Update for Wipeout) |

Good thread, CJ. We've not done too badly for Marvel influenced figures, have we?

I can't believe I forgot Jhiaxus! I'd forgotten all of these! That reminds me of Lucky Draw Primus! And Cybertron Primus, in general! |

I suppose an argument could be made for Nightbeat and Thunderwing.
They received their popularity exclusively due to Marvel.
On top of that, Hasbro has *completely* ignored their companion pieces: Siren and Hosehead, and Vroom and Crossblades.
The first time Siren has turned up, is his upcoming TR head. Hosehead, Vroom, and Crossblades have never been seen again.
However, I'm reluctant to add them to the list because there's nothing about their toy releases that feel specifically marvel. Hasbro does seemingly pluck late G1 at random, like Scoop.

Any Nightbeat that uses Siren's head design (ie all but the original and the Titan Master) is influenced by Marvel.

Because Blackrock first showed up in Marvel & going by the #52 IDW preview (i need to get the missing issue to find out whats going on #40 onwards) I think Blackrock is going to turn out to be the headmaster part of Galvatron TR.
