How would I've done the MOTU × TMNT Crossover.

 I am disappointed in Mattel's efforts at this, so I'll imagine, what I'd do if say, Super7 was allowed to make Ultimates based on this crossover: I will make suggestions for 24 figures covering MOTU-ized TMNT and TMNT-ized MOTU.

First, I'll pick the characters, then drop my ideas for each.  Aesthetically speaking, the characters will be based on MOTUC and TMNTU. So you won't see a MOTUC body Shredder, for example.

Characters:
MOTU:
He-Man
Man-at-Arms
Fisto
Mekaneck
King Randor
Teela
Man-E-Faces
Skeletor
Tri-Klops
Beastman
Trap Jaw
Skelcon

TMNT:
Leonardo
Donatello 
Raphael 
Michelangelo
Splinter
April
Casey Jones 
Shredder
Krang
Rocksteady
Bebop
Foot Soldier

MOTU:
Ninja He-Man:
Picture He-Man wearing a Naruto Headband with the H insignia in the middle of the headband. His nose and nouth are covered by a red mask. (Maskless head would be the alt
 Head)
He's shirtless and has a grey harness mimicking Leonardo's. The H insignia would be at the belt buckle. For the legs, grey tights with red trunks. Foot Ninja styked boots complete the look.
Accessories:
Extra hands: (aside normal c-grips)
Sword aloft hands, fists, dramatic, 2 finger ninja pose.
Weapons:
Vintage TMNT toy Brown MOTUC power sword.
pair of Power Katanas (2 Power sword styled Katanas 1 gray and the other purple)
Eternian Pizza Paddle Axe (a pizza paddle reminiscent of He-Man's axe.)
Ooze proof Eternian Shield (He-Man's Shield but with Ooze splatters)
Extras:
Soft goods "Ninjor styled tunic" with the Grayskull Ring skull in the middle.

Samurai Man-at-Arms:
Taking cues from both MAA and Sewer Samurai Leo, this MAA would have the green MAA body. From the waist down he'd be similar to He-Man, but have Samurai leg Armor with MAA inspired elements.
The torso would have a MAA inspired Samurai armor with removable Oni Mask where the Respirator mask would normally be for MAA. (The alternate MAA head would be one with the Oni Mask respirator attached.)
At his waist, Duncan should be able to sheath a katana and a wakizashi. On his back his more Traditional Kanabō looking Mace should be able to be plugged in. His arms would have Samurai armor with MAA inspired elements.
Accessories:
Same hands as He-Man
Heads:
I mentioned the second "oni mask head" the third head would be unmasled Duncan with a Samurai topknot.

Ronin Fisto:
This Fisto is shirtless, has purple underpants with the Foot styled shoes in purple. He'd have longer "unkempt" Ronin hair. His metal fist would have a more "Oriental" look. He should have a necklace of grey prayer beads.
 He would be the first character with full soft goods clothing:
Purple hakama and a purple and grey striped  kimono.
He would need a big removable belt where he can store his sword on the RIGHT side, due to his massive fist, he draws his blade with the left. On the left side he has a gourd of WATER to hydrate after a fight. 
His kimono should be worn in one of 2 ways:
Dangling by the belt with no sleeves in or only worn on the left arm.
For accessories:
Left hands in the already existing variety.
Weapons:
Fisto sword themed Katana in Fisto Purple.
Gourd

Ninja Scout Mekaneck:
Picture Mekaneck wearing a traditional Ninja Mask over his helmet. His second head being Normal Mekaneck.
His body would be similar to He-Man in Mekaneck colors, but the Torso would have a Samurai version of Mekaneck's armor.
Accessories:
Bigger Kanabō but Mekaneck themed
Mossman looking Kawarimi Log.
Sewer Pipe neck extensions.

Shogun Randor:
I'm picturing Randor with a samurai Helmet that has elements of his crown on it.
The torso armor would be based on Toy Rabdor, while the arms and legs Reuse MAAs. The back would allow for the Eternos Banner to be plugged on it. Reusing MAAs crotch allows Randor to also have a katana and wakizashi.
Accessories:
Heads:
Helmet head, Helmetless head (no crown)
Hands: same as everyone else
Weapons:
Katana
Wakizashi
Banner
Naginata
Eternoss cross Fuuma Shuriken

Kunoichi Teela:
She gets a head with a Naruto Headband with the Eternos Shuriken. Second head is blonde repaint of the normal head.
I'm thinking her outfit could be a one piece swimsuit... wait, hear me out! With a sleeveless gi top over the swimsuit... think Aska from Tournament Fighters (American version) but wearing leggins like Black Canary is in most cartoons to avoid animating the fishnet stockings. Add ninja tabi and ninja bracers and armbands on her biceps to complete the look. Obviously, she'd be in Teela colors. 
For accessories:
Female versions of the male hands.
Extending snake staff (both short and long versions)
Teela shield
Katana

Mutagen Man-E-Faces:
Man-E-Faces would require a Green GITD Torso to simulate the Ooze. The main differences would be getting a left Skeletor foot while retaining the normal MEF foot instead of normal MEF hands he gets Monster hands following the pattern of the other hands.
Now for his faces:
Head 1: Normal MEF, Ninja Turtle, Shredder
Head 2: Casey, Krang, Pizzaface
Head 3: Rat King, Skeletor, He-Man
Weapons:
Man-E-Blaster
Havoc Staff with interchangeable tips
Trident, Hockey stick, Ram head

Super Skeletor:
Skeletor has been Oozed and transformed into a Monstrous form:
His skull should look very 200X styled with the fangs and stuff. His second head should have the thorny Ambrosia crown from the battle sound skeletor.
His Torso would have bony protrusions creating the shape of his harness, while his shoulders have bony Shredder-like protrusions. His forearms would have bigger bony protusions than the MOTUC Whiplash arms. Legs would have Shredder-like Armor with Dactus feet in Skeletor colors.
Black Draego man wings complete the look. 
For accessories:
Monster hands, fists, relaxed, ninja, swords aloft.
Weapons:
Havoc staff with GITD ooze green ram head.
Pair of Hookswords in Skeletor Purple. 

Footklops:
TK's visor is modified to look like a Green version of a straw hat like the one worn by the foot elite. He has only one head, but a removable Oni Mask. He has a green scarf (think OG shredder neck piece in green.) He would have the basic buck underneath and be as "naked as Fisto" with black underpants
A Green and Orange striped kimono and black Hakama. He gets an orange and green belt suited to hold a Fisto katana on each side.
For accessories:
Standard hands
Weapons:
2 fisto katanas in green
Extras:
2 flying stands and 2 Doomseeker/Mouser head hybrids.

Beastking:
Basically, Beastman covered in rags and bandages Rat king Style.
His arm pads are Snapping Turtle Shells
His torso Armor is a big furry pelt like Normal Beastman, but it has Rahzar's car grille in the front and various ninja weapons like Kunai and throwing stars mimicking the bones and horns of his armor. He's wearing a Green Tiger Cub Loincloth (inspired by the Rat king Toy) draped  over an Eternian flying snake. His legs are bare.
Accessories: 
Heads: Wrapped in bandages, Rat King Style and a Normal Beastman head
Hands: Hairy Monster hands in the standard configurations.
Weapons:
Three headed Baby Serpos whip.
Extras: 
2 Cycloptic beasts that looks like and Organic Mouser, Snake Mountain Monster swimming in a small Ooze puddle.

Dimension X Armor Trap Jaw:
Trappy's got some new duds:
Mouser head Helmet and Jaw in TJ colors.
His torso Armor is heavily inspired by Groundchuck but with Trap jaw colors: Black straps, gunmetal grey metal parts, Green Bullseye, and maroon mesh. His robotic Arm has Chromedome's wing
The Robotic arm should be long like a Foot Soldier's.
Accessories:
Left Fist and dramatic hands.
Weapon attachments:
Bebop drill gun
Pizzaface Cleaver
Chomping mouser head

Skelfoot:
Take the Skelcons repainted in foot Soldier colors.
Alt head without the furry hood and the symbol for Foot (足) engraved on its forehead.
Accessories:
Monster hands
Bone dagger from normal skelcon, Bone gun based on the Foot Soldier rifle.

That's the MOTU half of it would be if I wasn't such a little shit and added two more Characters:
Adam Randorson-Glenn:
It's Adam, disguised as a Normal Earthling:
From the waist down He'd reuse Casey's body in Adam's colors. New torso with a partially zipped Maroon Hoodie with torn Sleeves and white undershirt. (Hood down) Arms would be reused from Casey as well.
Reuse Casey's hands. 
Accessories:
Heads:
Normal Adam head. Adam with headphones and glasses.
Weapons:

Extras:

Faker:
He-Man's Evil Robot duplicate is not simply a He-Man reuse.
He is heavily inspired by Chromedome but with faker colors.  Shoulder Wings emulate the Skeletor epaulets. Arms and legs "look human" but in Faker's colors. (Reuse ninja He-Man's)
The heads would be Masked Ninja He-Man  and the Battle damaged Terminator head.
Hands: reuse He-Man's
Weapons: same as He-Man's but in Faker colors.

What was that about not putting Shredder in a MOTUC body? Nefty lied!? *gasp* wait, technically I didn't, because it won't be really a MOTUC body if it's based on Mumm-Ra for size... which would be how I'd tackle ultomates Super Shredder.
From the neck down it would be a Super Shredder, but repainted as Skeletor.
He would get a new torso set of Spikes to incorporate Skeletor's design and his skull replacing the bezel in Skeletor's armor. The shoulder pads would be purple with black spikes, while, the forearm spikes will be metallic blue, mimicking Skeletor's skin.
