Masters of the Universe x Transformers



Club Grayskull, which I ponied up an annual subscription for He-Ro, a grail action figure from my childhood, teased future Masters of the Universe (MotU) crossovers on the official forum (forums are still a thing in 2025?).

On Friday, Mattel and Hasbro announced Masters of the Universe x Transformers action figures at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC). An included mini-comic will provide a backstory to the crossover, much like the original toy line!

As a fan of both toy lines since day one, I've pre-ordered Megatron Armour Skeletor and Bumblebee Armour Man-At-Arms from Mattel Creations, as I didn't want to miss out. The Fright Zone sold out in less than 30 minutes on Mattel Creations. I had the long-awaited playset in my cart, but to no avail. However, Hurricane Hordak and Despara won't be homeless for much longer as I've pre-ordered Hordak's stronghold from The Whole Shebang.

Yes, fans have pointed out where's Optimus Prime Armour He-Man and why isn't Man-At-Arms, Brawn? Valid points, but this crossover looks fun, and there will be further action figures.

What are your thoughts on Masters of the Universe x Transformers? Are you a fan of toy line crossovers? Is it lazy nostalgia to fleece fans? Let me know in the comments below.
