Kind of disappointed with that. I was hoping for the origin of the grafted on snake. Like he'd have normal legs and get blown in half by Cobra-La rebels or Megatron by the end of the miniseries and have the snake grafted on then.
Really want to find a red cloak for my Golobulus custom now though. He looks good in that. |

Can GiJoe ever exist as it's own property in future versions after this and the Hasbro-combined IDW continuity? Especially after the next GiJoe movie existing with Transformers.
My fear is the GiJoe brand is going to be diminished long-term as a result of these choices. I very much liked many of the older crossover mini-series (including the Dreamwave / Image one which included Cobra-La as well) but those were novelty stories.

More like "the lower torso of Jabba the Hutt."

My fear is the GiJoe brand is going to be diminished long-term as a result of these choices. I very much liked many of the older crossover mini-series (including the Dreamwave / Image one which included Cobra-La as well) but those were novelty stories. The brand desperately needs a heavy shot of adrenaline before it can stand entirely on its own and be a standalone major money maker again. They couldn't even get enough backers for the Oring line to justify the money to make it without throwing Transformers in with it despite the nostalgia based vocal fandom constantly asking for Orings. Hasbro is struggling right now to remain profitable, anything they can do to push new interest into fading brands by combining them with other brands is a good thing for them. As much as us 80s/90s kids love the brand we can't keep it alive as the only customers, new customers must be brought in somehow and Transformers is a good way to do it.

I would love to see Skybound add the MASK, Inhumanoids, and ROM properties to the Energon universe eventually. Using Cobra-La and the Transformers really opens up the possibilities.
Venom and Mask can be using recovered/stolen or reverse enginered Transformers tech from the ark crash and broken bots from battles. CC mentions in this issue that Energon has transformation properties, it could be a great way to explain how MASK/VENOM's vehicles transform and the Masks could be reversed engineered tech allowing the driver to interface with the transforming vehicle similar to a headmaster from TransFormers. Toss MASK and Venom into the world as factions, let Venom tangle with the Joes or Autobots over tech and let Mask face some Decepticons or Cobra once in a while. With Cobra-la existing it brings other hidden ancient societies and monsters into play in this universe, the inhumanoids would fit right in and the Earth Corps suits from that show could be reverse engineered Transformer tech too. Let Cobra-La dig up an ancient Inhumanoid Kaiju and release it out into the world every so often for a major crossover teamup event where Joes, Mask, Autobots, and the Earth Corps have to work to stop it. Rom would fit right in with the cosmic side of Transformers and Void Rivals. These properties were based on Toys, dump the toy box out on the floor and have some fun with it.

Yep. I've hated every crossover they've done and I doubt this'll be any different. From what I've already read, pages people have posted online, I haven't been impressed. I loathe this crossover. It's completely unnecessary. I'd rather see G.I. Joe crossover with M.A.S.K., if it has to be in a crossover with anything.
