Hulk
- Hulk is a character from the Marvel portion of the Crossovers continuity family.
The Hulk is a very angry man. A big green fellow literally fueled by unstoppable rage, notable for having no upper limit on his superhuman strength, which grows as he gets angrier. Most people would be satisfied with him causing property damage purely on an infantry level. Not Mister Fantastic, though. No, Mr. Fantastic has instead encased this furious, really quite angry guy in a mechanized suit of transforming armor encased in plates of the same indestructible material as Captain America's shield. As if this weren't an impressive, indeed inexplicable enough achievement, Mr. Fantastic has likewise fortified the mech's cockpit with hydraulic joint flexors, to allow the machine to absorb the Hulk's frantic thrashings and allow his battle suit to literally become stronger as its pilot grows angrier.
Some people might think this is overkill, but they're not Mr. Fantastic. Mr. Fantastic is a genius.

Toys
Crossovers
- Hulk (Marvel, 2008)
- Hulk transforms from a big, green, shirtless man into a fanciful tank. The "mech mode" in the promo picture at right is incompletely transformed; the "wheel panels" of his shoulders should be rotated 90 degrees around his biceps, relative to the "tread panels". It also appears his shins have not been extended.
- He also has one tiny point of battle damage, a crater on one of the front tank tread covers. Apparently Hulk has been shot... once.
- This mold also served as the basis of the non-toy Beast Wars: Uprising incarnation of Apelinq.
- Hulk (Marvel, 2008)
- A redeco of the original toy, in gray and blue, probably in reference to the "Gray Hulk" persona.
- Hulk (Marvel, 2010)
- A new mold Hulk toy, which transforms into a bulldozer. His bio pointed out the absurdity of Reed Richards giving the Hulk an indestructible battlesuit that turns into a tank. The robot head on this mold is a slight repaint of the head of the first Hulk toy.
- This mold was to be retooled to make the Thing, though it seems reasonable that this toy was designed with Thing in mind. This can be supported by numerous Thing-like crack details sculpted on various parts of the robot mode as well as a blank cylinder molded into his waist which looks as if it were intended to have a Fantastic 4 logo sculpted into it, much like the one on Human Torch. The figure was likely changed to Hulk at some point in development due to him being a more popular character than Thing.
- This figure has an assembly error where his feet are on the wrong legs.

Notes
- The Hulk was featured on the cover of Transformers #22, celebrating Marvel Comic's 25th anniversary.
- According to Beast Machines DVD commentary by Story Editor Bob Skir, Tankor is influenced by the Hulk.
- The creators of Transformers Animated likened Lugnut to the Hulk, while Bulkhead was likened to the Thing.
- The Hulk had a pre-Crossovers transforming robot toy in the Toy Biz Marvel Megamorphs line (back before Hasbro had the Marvel license), which used the scrapped design for Transtech Immorticon as its base. Why? Because Draxhall Jump worked on both Transtech and Megamorphs.
- Peter Cullen voiced The Hulk in Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, Rick Wasserman voiced Hulk in Planet Hulk, Peter Lurie voiced Hulk in Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Travis Willingham voiced Hulk in Superhero Squad Show, and Fred Tatasciore has voiced the Hulk in...pretty much everything else from The Ultimate Avengers onward.
Foreign names
