While I’m still waiting for some creative team to write a story about the Batmobile to become a Transformer, let’s just say that thought came to mind after reading the Ghostbusters and Transformers comic-book crossover back in 2021. I wasn’t suprised that a toy was made afterwards. For Batman’s vehicle to do the same, and beat up Megatron, that will require DC Comics to give their okay. In the meantime, SpinMaster Toys has their own take with the release of the Ultimate Transforming Batmobile play set. While this car doesn’t actually convert into a metroplex, I think the seeds of some story is being laid down.
In what’s different from other giant sized city dioramas is that this one isn’t necessarilyu sentient. What’s offerd from this toy maker looks fun. And last week, this company announced that their product made the Toy Insider’s list of most wanted toys for the coming holiday season! Although Halloween is pretty much right around the corner, but the next big party will be Christmas!
And I’m fairly sure the vehicular mode is not a remote control car. Batteries are required to operate some light up features, and other fun things when it expands out in size to reveal the headquarters that Batman operates in. And for those parents wondering what to get their kids for their coming birthday or holiday surprise, it’s probably best to order early.
From the Press Release:
