Word on the street is that there may be some new transformers characters hitting the streets, but this time the characters will be transforming from, Mickey. Yes, Mickey as in Disney’s Mickey Mouse. In the November 2008 issue of Figure Ou magazine, there is a teaser for this rumored crossover by TamkaraTomy. The silhouette is close to the silhouette of the mechanical Mickey Mouse and “and a logo next to it showing what can best be described as a G2 Autobot logo that has been Mickey-ized, for lack of a better term.” No word on when this will be a reality, or any other details for that matter. But will hardcore Transformers fans go for some Mickeyness in their figures? Recently there was the release of the Marvel Transformers (The Hulk, Iron Man, Spider-Man and Venom) so the cobranding of the Transformers brand ain’t totally new.
