I find that to be an awesomely impressive image, in a “there but for the grace of God” kind of way. Too bad the new movie makes it obsolete.

In Alex Ross’ graphic novel **Kingdom Come** , Batman patrols the streets of Gotham by remote control, using an army of semi-autonomous “Bat-Knights,” which are essentially Transformer versions of the original '30s sedan Batmobile design. Bafflingly, I have been unable to locate a picture of one online, even though they clearly combine Batman and Transformers.

Snow Cat did make a good transformer. It’s the only known crossover, but it exists.

Poor li’l guy. Even as a Transformer, he looks just like the tubby kid in the oversize parka and snow pants that the bigger kids always pick on. Kind of like Ralphie’s little brother from **A Christmas Story**.
