I was watching the 3rd Transformers movie and noticed how many of the actors in the military unit that worked alongside the Autobots could have made for a good cast in one of the Joe films. Then the idea hit me. How great it would have been for the Joe brand if they actually used Joe characters as the military team that worked with the Autobots. They could have sold the figures along side each other. I'm not a huge Transformers fan and not sure if there were any established military characters that TF fanswere expecting in the film but if not what a boost to both the Joe brand and toy sales it could have been. If there was a military presence written into the film anyway why not use Joes. Forgive me if this was already brought up and vented over.

I feel there were a lot of missed opportunities in the movie.
Seriously, I totally agree with you. It would have mad a lot of sense.

Dark side of the moon or whatever. There was a military unit in all 3 films.

And I wouldn't even have expected them to give the team any more face time or lines or any larger a role than was already written into the film, just a simple change of names would have been enough to spring board something. Like how they slipped SHIELD into the Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man movies. Just to create a presence of the enitiy.

I remember seeing #1 in the theater, then I remember watching half of #2, kicking in my TV and ejecting the blu ray and sending it back to Netflix. What happened in the 3rd movie? I don't think my media center could take it. Was Leboufe in it again?

Yeah he was, so was JohnGlenn. Same old plot as season 1 of the Sunbow cartoon. Decepts try to open a space bridge and bring Cybertron into earth's orbit then farm Earths resources. Don't want to ruin any surprises but it was very long and the military support team had some good fight scenes and some good screen time. Also a detachment of Navy SeALs join them. The human military teams take out both Shockwave and Star Scream. It would have been great if it was Duke/Flint/Hawk and Gung Ho, Stalker, Rock N Roll, Torpedo, etc in leu of random no named military guys.

The 3rd one was the least terrible of the three, IMO.

Yeah I'd agree. Would have been better with a few Joes thrown in.

So many movies could have been tied to the brand with very little script changing - The Expendables, Transformers...
