Toys

Collaborative

"She's lost that loving feeling."
  • Maverick (2020)
    • Accessories: 2 dual-missile pods, 2 transforming fuel tank rifles, 2 alt-hands, volleyball, motorcycle
The fourth figure and the third original character in the Collaborative line, Maverick is a Voyager-sized figure and is the first Collaborative toy to be an all-new mold, not borrowing any parts from other figures. He transforms into a fully-licensed [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Grumman F-14 Tomcat|{{#if:Northrop Grumman F-14 Tomcat|Northrop Grumman F-14 Tomcat|Grumman F-14 Tomcat}}]], the iconic jet from the original [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Top Gun|{{#if:||Top Gun}}]] film. The figure features movable [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}variable-sweep wing|{{#if:||variable-sweep wing}}]]s, front (but not rear) landing gear, and movie-inspired details including cockpit labels for 'LT PETE MITCHELL "MAVERICK"' and 'LT NICK BRADSHAW "GOOSE"'. The robot mode head is based heavily upon the design of Pete Mitchell's customized flight helmets, which feature his call sign "MAVERICK" across the forehead.
Maverick includes a robot-scaled volleyball accessory, two alternate hands with posts in the palms to fit a hole in the volleyball, a miniature [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Kawasaki GPZ900R|{{#if:||Kawasaki GPZ900R}}]] motorcycle based on one belonging to Pete Mitchell, two optional fuel tanks that can transform into hand-held rifle weapons, and two non-firing missile pod accessories that can be mounted on the back in robot mode or under the wings in jet mode. Each missile pod is a single piece of plastic depicting a pair of different missiles: an [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}AIM-9 Sidewinder|{{#if:||AIM-9 Sidewinder}}]], and an [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}AIM-7 Sparrow|{{#if:||AIM-7 Sparrow}}]]. The volleyball is compatible with War for Cybertron energy effect attachment points on figures from that line, but Maverick's guns and jet exhaust are not compatible with War for Cybertron energy effect parts.
This toy was exclusive to the Hasbro Pulse web-store in the U.S. and Canada. It was also available at general retail in Hasbro's Asian markets such as Hong Kong.
His instructions have a hidden message written in Ancient Autobot that translates to "Let's Turn and Burn", which is a quote from the original Top Gun film. It's also one of the tag lines for [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Top Gun: Maverick|{{#if:||Top Gun: Maverick}}]].
