    More like he was being smart. For crying outloud remember the guy who wanted this crossover to happen was the one responsible for the Jem film and even wanted Jem included in the crossover too. Yeah I wouldn't want to see how he would handle the crossover had he gotten his way.

    A TF / Joe crossover would be so effing awesome.

    A shame we didn't get it this time.

    Because people too often miss the obvious.

    I know a crossover would work because it already has.

    I would much rather have a crossover with the MCU.

    A crossover could work if GIJoe paired with the Autobots like NEST and Cobra siding with the Decepticons. Cast Adrianne Palicki as Lady J like in GIJoe: Revolution; I have to support the hometown girl.

    Obviously. I was specifically referring to the film franchise.

    I never really thought of G I Joe and Transformers as a good combination. I have no problem If it takes place in its own little universe (like the recent Transformers vs G.I Joe) but keep that shit out of the more important continuities.

    They would have to reboot both franchises to make this crossover work.

    I agree. If the movie is pro-Transformers, the Joes should be ineffective against the Transformers (like the military was in G1 cartoon and comics). If the pendulum swings in G.I. Joe's favor, then the TFs will be as fragile as the Bayformers.

    The Transformers in the movies aren't really fragile. They tend to take a beating thanks to certain types of weapons, but they are pretty minor and they can survive it unless the humans are in large numbers. Another thing is when humans do kill Transformers, they tend to have another Transformer with them to deal out most of the damage. I mean while Ratchet did get one of his legs blasted off because of Cemetery Wind, it was Lockdown who dealt the biggest damage and the killing blow.

    I think it could be really awesome if planned for and well written. The TF movies have so much focus on human characters anyways, might as well make them Joes so we get good characters out of them.

    How disappointing.

    I'd love to see a live action (Hell I'd even take an animated film) that featured both G.I. Joe and Transformers. Always love those crossovers.

    NEST is great and everything, yeah, close to GI Joe in theory. But not the GI Joe for a Joe/TF team-up that has both on equal footing with their own importance. Completely background players in a purely TF story. So again, fine for Transformers. But it would serve the GI Joe franchise horribly.

    So yeah, I'd love for them to try at some point. But they HAVE to get the GI Joe movie franchise working properly first. Doing a team up now is not going to kick start Joe and get it functioning right; it's going to make the Joe franchise look weaker and more useless than it already does right now.

    I know a lot of TF fans complain about the Bay movies and have all sorts of reasons why they think they don't work. But as a longtime GI Joe fan, I would love for that franchise to get even one movie that works as well for Joe as even the worst Bay movie does for Transformers. Before that happens as a bare minimum, forget trying anything else with it.

    My feeling about GIJOE and Transformers crossing over has always been this:

    You can put GIJOE into Transformers, but you can't put Transformers into GIJOE.

    Transformers can always interact with a human special military force full of colourful characters. It works in their fiction, and in fact, most versions of the Transformers fiction incorporates some variation on this idea).

    But you can't drop Transformers into GIJOE's narrative universe without shaking everything up, and losing touch with some of GIJOE's core appeal. Basically, adding Cybertronians to GIJOE breaks their universe.

    Which makes this weirdly similar to the old Marvel Comics #2 with Spider-Man... it's okay for a guest appearance, but beyond that, you just can't graft Transformers to the Marvel Universe without one of those universes screwing up the other. So yeah. GIJOE can make appearances in Transformers, but otherwise the streams shouldn't cross.

    I wish they would make a live action movie that followed the old cartoon styling... just once? no re-envisioning.. no rebooting... no super special uniforms or designs.. Cobra Ninja in a white cloth outfit, the Blue Cobra Rattler A10 Warthog, Bumblebee as a volkswagen bug... and Devastator as 6 green construction vehicles..

    is that too much to ask!?

    Yes. Yes it is. If you want something exactly like the original then why not just watch the original? Without some reimagining brands would grow stale and boring.

    edit: also, most of the costumes from G.I.Joe would probably look ridiculous if duplicated spot on from the cartoon. Just look at some of the cosplay out there.

    Dunno about the cartoon (haven't watched it) but in the comics (Marvel), human organizations such as RAAT were able to damage TFs in certain occasions.

    I don't have a problem with TFs getting damaged and killed by human military but they shouldn't do the most of the job.
