Rich the Leech apparently heard rumors that Kirkman secured Transformers and GI Joe animated series' adapted the Energon Universe

why do they keep doing this? neither of these are going to catch on anymore, its isnt the early 2010s, 80s nostalgia is dead, equally as vapid 00s nostaliga is in

>>149141111
Because they don't like you

>>149141095 (OP)
Isn't it a little early for that

Transformers has a chance, GI Joe doesn't, military entertainment was overtaken by video games.

I really don't understand the GI Joe push from studios. Transformers at least is somewhat evergreen conceptually because robots are cool and the toys still exist along with a relatively dedicated fanbase. I absolutely can't wrap my head around the semi-frequent attempts to cross Transformers over with GI Joe of all things though. Even after several attempts at franchise reboots,

GI Joe's most notable trait is Cobra Commander's meme worthy voice acting in the 80s cartoon. It's like if they put He-Man in TMNT Mutant Mayhem.

Military stuff is cool

test

>>149141095 (OP)
This would be cool if true

The original cartoons started with less lead time and went in different direction than the comics. It's fine.

They had Cobra Commander guest star in the original Transformers series one time, so now its their equivalent to how TMNT loves finding excuses to shove Usagi Yojimbo into the mix.

Combining all the issues so far gives us 77 issues
Transformers alone last solicited issue is #24
And the show is gonna time to make it expect that number to rise by the time they get an actual team on board to adapt the series.
That's a pretty solid amount of material
At least it won't be Jupiter's Legacy levels of bad

The GI Joe Marvel relaunch was the basis for Hasbro's TF launch.
The Transformers being on Earth means they;ll end up running into the military, and making the military GI Joe sells another Hasbro IP.

Good for you.

Hasbro really, REALLY wants GI Joe to be as big as it was in the 80s.

>>149141550
GI Joe keeps getting pushed because there's still a present demand for military fiction, the problem is that Hasbro doesn't really get that popular military fiction (at least, when it is sold next to giant robots fighting in a war) is revolving around stuff like Resident Evil, Call of Duty, and Metal Gear Solid, and adjacent genres like zombie or survival/apocalyptic fiction. It's sort of why Marvel doesn't know what to really do with SHIELD anymore either. Nobody in charge of the geek franchises knows how to sell military fiction without regurgitating what they grew up with, which is no longer relevant to the zeitgeist.

It's like how modern James Bond isn't really a big hit when compared to Austin Powers and everything that came after it. Certain genre examples in spy and military fiction are too fixed on a certain point in time rather than adapt to an ever-changing culture.

Fujos will likely get involved in it like they did with call if duty.

Nobody cares about gj joes in 2025 that didn't grow up with it

>Wants GI Joe to be popular again.
>Refuses to go whole hog on anything that GI Joe fun in the first place.

>Look up reactions
>Discourse over MTMTE being adapted
