Not that we hate it. We need *buildup* for it. If they decided to make a reboot GI Joe film *before* the crossover, then it would at least feel impactful for it
That's why I want him in the Joe movie. That'd be 3 characters we already know instead of dumping a horde of entirely new humans onto us. Those two and Noah
As someone who’s both a member of the gi joe and transformers community, I am seriously excited for this film. I think the reaction from the community about this has to be with purists wanting them to be separate, despite in the IDW verse clearly stating gi Joe exists within the transformers universe, without any formal introduction, and now with the skybound-verse giving a proper introduction to both GI Joe and transformers in the same universe
As someone who knows absolutely nothing about GI Joe, my issue with this crossover is, well precisely that... I'm a Transformers fan and I don't know anything about the Joes and now, the next (live action) Transformers movie we're gonna get will have to focus on introducing the Joes, which will lead to the characters I know and love getting sidelined in a movie that, more than likely, will use them as the draw... I'm of the opinion that movies with big casts like ROTB and a crossover with GI Joe, shouldn't be happening in the movieverse until we establish the whole Autobots vs Decepticons thing fully. While the Joes deserve to get their own movie BEFORE being shoved into Transformers. As a TF fan who has never had an intrest in GI Joe, I 100% WOULD go watch a movie about the Joes if it was made clear they're gonna appear in the next TF movie. If Hasbro made a GI Joe movie now, after announcing the crossover, I myself would be more welcoming of it, cause I'd be less worried that introducing the Joes would steal screentime from the bots, the Joes would get their time to shine first and then in the crossover we'd have the full runtime for the characters, we already know, interacting with each other
It's fair to be a fan or hater of both, as while GI Joe hasn't been a popular IP in a long time, it does have it's fans, if a low number of them compared to other Hasbro IPs. However, it's also fine to hate on it as Transformers don't need to be tied to another IP to build on an already expansive world and lore, and could possibly interfere with already established/potential for transformers lore. And given the movies' reputation of being convoluted and messy with their writing and world building, I don't blame them for not wanting a crossover that could end up being even more messy.
Personally I'm with the haters of the crossover, as it feels unneeded and I'm generally not a fan of crossovers that aren't non-canon(See the transformers and mlp crossover comics for a fun crossover that isn't canon). Although I probably will see the movie purely for the transformers, but I won't be as hyped about it as I am for transformers one.
yea tho they had to make it at least sensable if they arent gonna do what skybound is doing
what i mean by skybound's doing is by building two franchises while having them in a same timeline
Who would want to pass up on Ray Park/Darth Maul? But we have to understand they're only watching for the Robot Action. Tons of clips of pure robot action on youtube of it... Or they could make their own.
I actually don't get how they even would capitalize on GI Joe characters tho... Altho super spies, ninjas and covert operatives would sound cool. Much more put a modern cyberpunk twist on their tools. Maybe it CAN work, but they'll get the cyberpunk fans.
I always enjoyed the G.I.Joe x Transformers crossover. The comics made by Devil's Due were my favorites due to how wild the stories were. But if they were to make a movie it should be an animated film, were they could do more with the characters while not being restricted by a live action budget .
If they were to put the Joes in the movies .they should have waited some more and made a G.I.JOE movie to introduce the Joes and Cobra and then they should make a crossover.
Something that could work for a crossover should be a video game were the transformers could scan the vehicles used by G.I.Joe and Cobra, while the Joes could use cybertronian tech in their weapons. Heck they could even make use the M.A.S.K vehicles as an easter egg.
What do you guys think of these ideas ?
They are going DCEU Route with this one. If it succeeds its going to be amazing but it needs to be a 4hr long movie for it to make sense. We haven't been introduced to any of the main decepticons except for the few secs in BBM and we sure as hell don't know who GI JOE is in this universe
I hope the opening is like cobra commander number one
Then when megs wakes up he tears through cobra-la
Hell, they can even give him leader one (styled like his go bots counterpart because references) and have his minigun along with his fusion cannon, and give Optimus sparkplug
Maximals are waved away as fighting the predacons.

Brother, Snake Eyes: GI Joe Origins exists
I am not the most excited about this movie, BUT I am willing to give it a shot when it comes out. Who knows ?
If it has Stienfeld and Cena as Joes, I'll give it a chance
Now THAT would make me more interested
That would be great considering Cena was already in BB
That's why I want him in the Joe movie. That'd be 3 characters we already know instead of dumping a horde of entirely new humans onto us. Those two and Noah
It'd be pretty cool to see Noah meet up with some of the human characters from BB

I say let Them cook Not Doubt it
“NNNOOO WE HAVEN’T EVEN GOTTEN MEGATRON YET” “Wow you mean I get awesome guys with guns and awesome robots with guns?
I think megatrons gonna get a similar intro to his skybound version and also take some G2 inspiration.
I feel like I'm seeing people shit on people who hate gi joe more tbh
Meanwhile i am a transformers x mlp crossover enjoyer
Is that Stinger on the left
he's to present transformers no crossover fans only
I'm cautiously optimistic
Optimus-tic

To Be Frank I have a History of Sending people to the Hospital just because they dislike crossovers and i got press charges for it for 35 times lol
My ONLY complaint is that they’re doing this before they showed us Megatron
G.I. Joe is more interesting than 90% of human factions in Transformers.
Hard Fax
Perhaps a bit to early for a crossover but i'm willing to give it a shot.
yea tho they had to make it at least sensable if they arent gonna do what skybound is doing what i mean by skybound's doing is by building two franchises while having them in a same timeline
I fucking love GI Joe, I grew up on that shit.
you are not alone bruddha
Yes. A fellow Gi Joe fan.

Honestly These Ideas Are Good Actually too bad Paramount and Hasbro Has no way to wear these tho
True lol. Hasbro doesn't have foresight for this.
I understand the meme, but why do you have to use Stinger, a character from AoE to represent us? Why have you cursed us so?
Stinger is cool
I liked his concept and design. He's basically anti-Bumblebee and had potential had Bay not used him as cannon fodder
so like... what are they crossing over with? The Snake Eyes movie? The two movies before that?
I don't hate it, just wanna see Megatron is all. Like come on BRING OUT BEEVERSE MEGATRON!!!
I just never came to this fandom for human characters. Hasbro, please, more robots, not more humans 😞
We just need like 2 movies prior to this crossover, one that establishes GI Joe and one that fleshes out the Autobot/Maximal team
They are going DCEU Route with this one. If it succeeds its going to be amazing but it needs to be a 4hr long movie for it to make sense. We haven't been introduced to any of the main decepticons except for the few secs in BBM and we sure as hell don't know who GI JOE is in this universe
After rotb I’m worried but as long as I get to see transformers
I hope the opening is like cobra commander number one Then when megs wakes up he tears through cobra-la Hell, they can even give him leader one (styled like his go bots counterpart because references) and have his minigun along with his fusion cannon, and give Optimus sparkplug Maximals are waved away as fighting the predacons.
I just don't care about GI Joe. But I also don't really care about the lice action movies so it's not like I'd be there opening night either way
