Fans of Michael Bay’sTransformersmovies ( or theTransformersfranchise in general ) have a fifth prescribed installment of the film serial publication to face forward to inThe Last Knight , but Hasbro already has heavy architectural plan for the series involving a slew of spinoffs and a run of new franchise - starters make up of their other popular firebrand likeG.I. Joe , M.A.S.K.,MicronautsandROM : Spaceknight . The ultimate finish here is to create a " Hasbro Cinematic Universe"to competition the sprawl multi - film continuities make by DC and Marvel .
incisively how those plans could come together is still indecipherable , but a cue might now have been provided by IDW Comics . The company just announced a crossover issue titled"Revolution"that will tie its version of various Hasbro characters together into a single storyline .
Launching in September along with a re - scratch line of the attendant series with newfangled Issue # 1’s , Revolution(which also debuted an single vexer onTHR ) will mix several antecedently - unconnected franchise currently race at IDW includingG.I. Joe , Transformers , Micronauts , ROMandAction Man(a retooling of the British incarnation of the originalG.I. Joe ) . Explained editor - in - chief Chris Ryall :
" We did n’t require this to be what fans have seen from so many others , which is a reboot or a relaunch where you ’re asked to draw a blank about all these characters and stories you ’ve been following for years . It ’s just now everybody will be acknowledging each other in a much smashing way than ever before . "
" It revolve about around something called Ore 13 , which is an precarious version of Energon , the stuff that gives the Transformers their tycoon and lifespan . There ’s a version of that on earth , that has an inauspicious effect on technical school , which adversely affect read-only storage , and change the status of him and his baddie , the Dire Wraiths . It touch the Micronauts population in a way they did n’t expect , and then it also gives birthing to M.A.S.K. , which is a big new claim we ’re launching out of this . "
Notably , several of the serial ( Transformers , G.I. Joe , ROM and Micronauts ) begin their time in comics as licensed ( from Hasbro toy dog blood line ) books publish by Marvel in the 1980s . WhileTransformershad arrive with a basic plot abstract that was by and by exposit on by Marvel and Sunbow ( the producers of the animated series ) , the others experience much of their now - canonic mythology birthed by Marvel writer asked to create a story from whole cloth base on toys that did not originally have a story attached . ROM in special was , for a fourth dimension , mix into the continuity of the mainstream Marvel Universe ; act a key role in major events involve theX - Menand other fiber . M.A.S.K.,meanwhile , is expect to watch over the frame-up of the dealership ’s invigorate series , which involved a special task - military unit using vehicle that transform into unlike , more elaborate vehicles to press evil .
Officially , Revolutionis not touch base to the planned Hasbro Cinematic Universe , and it ’s indecipherable whether or not the film will borrow any inspiration from their IDW version . Many fans are hypothesise that ROM ( a half - human robotic warrior from space ) will appear in the fifth Transformers feature as the"Last Knight"mentioned in the form of address ; though there has been no prescribed confirmation of this from Hasbro or Paramount Pictures .
