I liked how Megatron was in Cobra Commander's holster. Megatron said something like: "It's funny you are traveling in the very thing that will betray you." They were flying in Starscream
A foot note, but the death of optimus in the movie had a ripple effect on the Joe's. Duke was suppose to die, but since the scene had already been animated prior to the angry letters from fans and parents, we are left with a clunky voice over. "He's gone into a coma..." "This is Doc back at headquarters, great news! Duke has come out of his coma!"
This video completely understates how completely insane Tom Scioli's Transformers vs. GI Joe is. The guy is a mad genius and I don't know why they gave it to him, but I'm immensely happy they did. I genuinely cannot describe the events of anything that happened in it, because every single issue moves with a pacing sufficient to snap someone's neck, and the continuity is actually a maddened hybrid-monster of the two that's about 30% New Gods by volume. And that's before getting into the fact that Scioli intentionally draws it to look like an old 70s comic, complete with sun damage. The only way to explain it is that it's like if someone gave a kid a bunch of Transformers and GI Joe toys, and then told them to make up a story, and then wrote every single thing down and sent it to the ghost of Jack Kirby and told him to make a comic out of it.
As someone that finds the joes boring you had me at new gods. So the idea it channels the ghost of Jack the king Kirby sounds wonderful. Now to track it down.
I wonder if Old Snake's hacking cough was actually an accidental thing that they recorded and decided to include it? That voice _can't_ have been easy on Chris Latta's throat... 😜
I feel like the main issue with GI Joe's popularity really comes down to the concept itself being heavily tied to America's military, and people's attitudes toward the franchise may be affected by opinions of the real world force. I'm actually very curious to know what people from non American countries think about it.
When Takara brought the original figure to Japan as Combat Joe, it faired poorly due to tensions at the time. Then UK branded the line as Action Force, which did poorly too.
As a kid I loved G.I. Joe as a toyline because of its articulation. I think the show never aired in my country bc of its theme so I really don't have a lot of attachment to the IP, but yeah, as an adult everytime I take a look at it I associate it with gender roles and propaganda, not bc of the property itself, but it reminds me that toys are made to teach children what to think since prehistory, so I don't feel particularly excited about learning about them. That 60s spy/ sci fi twist sounds more interesting to me tbh
Agreed, G.I. Joe is rather American-centric for the most part, and is basically just about soldiers vs. Terrorists, as opposed to the more fantastical nature of giant alien robots that could transform into vehicles or animals. Another massive nail in the coffin for the Joes would be videogames such as COD, which has already supplanted G.I. Joe's niche of "soldier media marketed to children". Because of this, I feel the upcoming G.I. Joe video game Hasbro is working on would be the best chance the Joes will ever get, considering every other major media the Joes attempt have failed.
+Doktor Infinity, Im Honduran born and raised, born 1980, I loved GI Joe ARAH, all my cousins and friends love and loved GI Joe, people have gone to see the GI Joe movies (he thing is that a they are simply bad and none really catch the essence of GI Joe, armored suits???), as a non US National I couldn’t care less whatever had to do with military, the GI Joe ARAH concept IS and forever will be cool!! I do wish there was a real cinematic Joe/Transformer (resulting I. The creation of M.A.S.K) universe!!
@@twistedgaming9185 I don't think Action Force did all that poorly over here. It wasn't the juggernaut that Masters of the Universe, Transformers, or Ninja Turtles were but it was in the range of like, Thundercats or M.A.S.K.
This episode really means a lot to me. My father and I would always take apart old 80s and 90s vehicles from the GI Joe line and repaint them, making new stories and characters constantly. I was either lazy or a genius though, because I wanted to recolor some as famous autobots and decepticons. I thought I was so smart making a power glide ratler, teaming up snake eyes with the aligned continuity Wheeljack, and overall just having a good time. Point is, there’s a lot of crossovers that go far outside Hasbro’s licenses that need to be known about. Star Wars, Marvel, DC I believe, Mr Potato Head, Hello Kitty, and many more. I really do think this single topic can become an entire new series of some sort, looking at the crossover aspect as a whole between Transformers and many other franchises. Til then though, I am simply content with the knowledge that my Powerglide actually has an official toy.
Wasn’t until the old Skywarp Basics vid that I discovered he was part of GI Joe, which honestly shocked and amused me. Since then whatever interest I has in GI Joe was mostly in seeing how it interacted with Transformers. Otherwise, I gotta admit, I’ve never been into GI Joe at all. Was before by time for sure.
And Skywarp and G.I. Joe would go on missions that didn't involve the other Transformers. Just: ordinary G. I. Joe stories where one member happens to be a giant robot.
@@Mecharnie_Dobbs I love how for the more deeper fans of both, Skywarp has become so accepted that in some GI Joe fig showcases I see online, they include a Skywarp toy.
If you look into the GI Joe wiki, it brings the characters from the cartoon M.A.S.K. as a go between of Tranformers and GI Joe. It even covers Action Man and Joe Colton. Surprisingly, it blends really well.
Ahhh crossovers basically it's like a toybox you take one toy from one franchise take another toy from another franchise and put em in a beat em up. I know I'm not the only kid that did this
It's what Hasbro thought initially when rebooting the series: there was no bad guy in the original line, thinking kids would simply use other toys as bad guys. When they were scrambling for idea for the evil faction, one Marvel staff blurted "cobra", which formed the basis of the Cobra organization.
I think all kids do that old and new generations I did and my Nephew and Nieces do the same thing. Just imagine all the crossovers kids came up with and all so when Brothers / sisters / cousins and friends played together. There has got to be interesting combos there.
Honestly, considering Hasbro is struggling to reboot the GIJoe franchise, they could just connect it more firmly to the Transformers juggernaut for support. Edit:yes, I heard, you can stop saying I predicted it.
@@Calvin_Coolage Similar to what Hasbro has done with Star Wars The Vintage Collection, the retro series includes 3.75-inch scale super-articulated action figures and vehicles that come in vintage-inspired packaging with retro Hasbro branding.
@@ajclements4627 I might need to look into those. I always wanted to collect like the first three waves of those old 80's 3.75 inch figure. Of course being this was back in 2005 good luck with that but still.
@@Calvin_Coolage I did want to collect GI Joe myself, but I was already into SW when the 3 3/4 Joes started. Luckily, my brother collected them, so we’d have crossover wars between the two. The only thing I have left is a 5 figure 25th anniversary set of GI Joe. If only we had a time machine, we could go back and buy our childhood collections again.
Honestly, G.I Joe should just be retired. Its woefully outdated and the lack of support for the armed forces in recent years will make G.I Joe disappear permanently.
Technically we did already with the Hot Rod episode. His name was changed to Hot Shot because hasbro didn’t have the rights for the name Hot Rod for a long time after the ‘86 movie
@@JustAnotherNerd850 Actually, it's deeper than that, which warrants a Basics episode. Long story short, Hot Shot was originally the name of a character in the RID 2001 cartoon based on Stepper. For Armada, Hasbro didn't have the rights to Bumblebee's name, so they named the yellow bot Hot Shot, eventually combining the two bots as the series continued.
Uh no, he's based on the character from the bearded G. I. Joe, the one with the kung-fu grip. In some continuities, he's either the founder of the G. I. Joe team or the inspiration that led to the creation of the team.
@@tasheemthedream4199 I can see it being possible I’ve watched the few crossovers that took place in the original transformers, characters like brawl are from the Gijoe crossover and he was seen in the you know what in the movie

Scioli's series was fantastic.Oozing creativity and imagination. Only his Go-Bots series surpassed it. I'd love to see figures for the unique designs from that, the DW and DDP books though. Not just minor retools like Serpent O.R.

@@KasumiKenshirou Yeah but it makes sense when you read it, it's all about implanting his memories into someone else using Dr. Venom's brainwave scanner, and then he got his body back later.
Was never a fan of GI Joe growing up, so I was never much interested in what they were doing in tv or comics, but I did read the Revolution IDW crossover and I thought it was really great. Also formerly introduced me to micronauts and action man.
I have always wanted a toy series of the Devil's Due Crossover. Imagine having a Optimus Prime with a COBRA insignia and transforming into a COBRA tank
A Hasbro Cinematic Universe might be interesting, but the Transformers movies would definitely need to be rebooted first. The Bayverse films' continuity was all over the place...
Tom Scioli's Transformers vs GI Joe is easily my favorite of these crossovers It's just this pure bashing of toys together that packs so much into every issue. There are so many individual panels, like "Gun God meet your avatar" or the quiet "Yo Joe" in the illusion world, that are ingrained in my mind
With the GI Joe's making a cameo in _Rise of the Beasts,_ only the future knows if a crossover will finally happen beyond the comics and the games and into the screens
FUN FACT: 9:48 NOT ONLY THEY WOULD ORIGINALLY BRING BACK THE TFP VERSIONS TO THIS CROSSOVER, BUT ALSO THE VERSIONS OF G.I. JOE FROM THIS SHOW WOULD BE THE SAME AS THE RENEGADES SERIES, IF THAT SHOW CONCRETED, THEN WE COULD ADD G.I. JOE RENEGADES(COMIC & SHOW) TO THE ALIGNED CONTINUITY
Would love for you to do a vid on Crossovers with Transformers (Like Ghostbusters, Back To The Future, My Little Pony, the various crossover toys, etc)
And then spoiler alert for rise of the beasts GIJOE was in ending part when Noah was having a job interview and most likely might have a crossover for the sequel we don’t know yet
Now, I think it’s gonna be impossible for Rom The Space Knight to return into that crossover movie or the so-called HCU because I just heard that Rom The Space Knight has returned to Marvel
What, no, neither marvel Studios nor marvel comics are likely to do the character justice, their Talent is gone, why do you think the mcu is flopping now and comcis are dead
Something tells me that this will need an update soon on the Shared Cinematic universe lol Also i know this is a GIJoe/Transformers Basics....but i want to know more about what's ROM upto in this lol
Wellnlets hier the disapointing Box Office for rise ist the beast which it didnt derseve(too many movies this summer and people more picky about which movies they watch), doesnt put an end to these plans
Transformers vs GI Joe by Tom Scioli is mind blowingly amazing and extremely reverential to both properties. Containing amazing art and the GREATEST redesign of Optimus Prime EVER making his usually mysteriously disappearing trailer transform into cool as F**K wings! Also he had a laser sword! Heavy recommend.
Spoilers: Rise of the Beasts. Post credit scene. I did not expect for Mirage (and human partner) to be the first Joes we'd be introduced to in this continuity, but there we go. May Hasbro not ****** this up.
... If you're doing more videos on the Transformers crossovers, could you please do one on the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic crossover? Friendship in Disguise.
Lol imagine if they made an MLP GI Joe crossover. Low-key Pinkie Pie and Snake Eyes would be a fun duo. Kinda unlikely, but stranger things have happened.
Can never get enough of crossovers. Maybe one day we’ll get a crossover in animation between the two but it’s nice there still meeting up to this day. A basics on Transformers crossovers in general will definitely top this.
I definitely agree considering we've had Transformers crossovers with MLP, Star Trek, Back to the Future and Ghostbusters, it would be a fun episode for sure.
I of course have to shill Revolutionaries as my favourite crossover story! Happy it introduced me to the Adventure Team and G.I. Joe Extreme, which honestly are both *way* more interesting than ARAH.
In Transformers Earth Wars, they gave Viper a backstory to coincide with the GI Joe Crossover. In a cutscene, it's explained that Viper was originally a Cobra prototype who failed to meet expectations, so they lobotomized him.
Yes an HCU is what we’ve been waiting for for centuries. So you decided to do Basics episodes for separate crossovers. That’s actually a smart idea. Maybe in the future we can expect Basics episodes for MLP, Micronauts and Marvel. 👍🏻 also with Kingdom hitting Netflix in 5 days, I trust you’ve got a big episode planned next week
This is especially timely in light of Lorenzo di Bonaventura's recent comment that a cinematic crossover between Transformers and GI Joe is "inevitable" at this point.
Growing up, I was always more Bots than Joes, but to this day I still get chills from the Earth Wars ad bringing in the Cobra downbeat answered by the resounding battlecry of "Yo Joe"!
I've never felt Transformers needs to be in a shared universe. We have a whole species of characters in the Transformers. On top of the Nebulons, Quintessons, various Transformers colonies etc. It frustrates me when the movies have done little to nothing to really develop and explore all these characters yet then try and market a Transformers cross over with G.I Joe and other properties.
@Matt Borel Hasbro had the opportunity to reboot earlier since the final cut of DOTM essentially ended the film franchise. Even Michael Bay said he would step down from the franchise as director, but unfortunately, they wanted to continue until the fifth entry, and if the Bumblebee film didn't succeed (since it was releasing as the same time as Aquaman and Mary Poppins), the franchise would've been done for good.
Love the videos, they take me back to childhood every Saturday morning. I wake up for these early like I did for Saturday morning cartoons back in the day. Anyway G.I. Joe and Transformers goes together like meat and potatoes. We always played with our Transformers and G.I. Joe's together.
I honestly think it would be very interesting to see a crossover between the two franchises in modern times, especially a live action one. If they ever do decide to do something like that, I think Travis Knight's Transformers would work the best, especially if it was set in the 80s.😆👍🏼

@Matt Borel you don't want to hear that Vault Hunter you want to hear about Loot explosions I'm mr. torque and I have one question for you and one question only an explooooooooosion
I hear he killed off Snake Eyes and replaced him with a teenage girl.
@Matt Borel I think me meant "It's worth noting...".
and its about to reach 300 hundred issues
@@KasumiKenshirou Yeah but it makes sense when you read it, it's all about implanting his memories into someone else using Dr. Venom's brainwave scanner, and then he got his body back later.
Skywarp joining G.I. Joe is hilarious.
Especially after things he had done like that massacre in Shanghai.
@@Mecha82 Yeah, let's face it, he'd still happily murder all the Joes he's worked with at the drop of a hat (sparing the dog)
@@tigerbread78 If not for the fact they saved his life when Galvatron was content to leave him on life support.
Why? He's got no teleport powers and is just like a random seeker.
Well, why do you think he was working for the U.S military?
Was never a fan of GI Joe growing up, so I was never much interested in what they were doing in tv or comics, but I did read the Revolution IDW crossover and I thought it was really great. Also formerly introduced me to micronauts and action man.
So everyone else pouring in after Rise of the beasts?
I have always wanted a toy series of the Devil's Due Crossover. Imagine having a Optimus Prime with a COBRA insignia and transforming into a COBRA tank
You mentioned GIJoe Renegades!!!! That is my favorite incarnation of the Joes.
Like if you are here after Transformers rise of the beasts post credit scene.
Spoiler alert but
Rise of the beasts teased a crossover/shared universe 😊
After watching the new Transformers movie, I immediately searched for this
A Hasbro Cinematic Universe might be interesting, but the Transformers movies would definitely need to be rebooted first. The Bayverse films' continuity was all over the place...
They did. The bumblebee movie is a reboot.
1. The Transformers is so big, it could be a cinematic universe on its own. 2. The Bayverse was pretty much GI Joe with the transformers in them.
@@natek4488 the amount of jacking off to millitary stuff bay did in those films proves this point
Came here after watching Transformers: Rise of the beast.
I've come from the future to announce that there will be a GI Joe and Transformers crossover movie in the year.....
Time for a movie crossover perhaps?
Skywarp is the REAL American hero
Oh yeah, he's a great guy, til you remember he murdered half the population of Beijing
It's probably been retconned at this point
@@tigerbread78 probably
Tom Scioli's Transformers vs GI Joe is easily my favorite of these crossovers
It's just this pure bashing of toys together that packs so much into every issue. There are so many individual panels, like "Gun God meet your avatar" or the quiet "Yo Joe" in the illusion world, that are ingrained in my mind
With the GI Joe's making a cameo in _Rise of the Beasts,_ only the future knows if a crossover will finally happen beyond the comics and the games and into the screens
That was awesome! I would love to see you do a series that explains the G.I. Joe lore like you do with Transformers.
FUN FACT:
9:48 NOT ONLY THEY WOULD ORIGINALLY BRING BACK THE TFP VERSIONS TO THIS CROSSOVER, BUT ALSO THE VERSIONS OF G.I. JOE FROM THIS SHOW WOULD BE THE SAME AS THE RENEGADES SERIES, IF THAT SHOW CONCRETED, THEN WE COULD ADD G.I. JOE RENEGADES(COMIC & SHOW) TO THE ALIGNED CONTINUITY
How'd bro predict the future of the new transformers movie...
Excuse me, dude?
Would love for you to do a vid on Crossovers with Transformers (Like Ghostbusters, Back To The Future, My Little Pony, the various crossover toys, etc)
And then spoiler alert for rise of the beasts GIJOE was in ending part when Noah was having a job interview and most likely might have a crossover for the sequel we don’t know yet
Can’t wait for the new films coming up… this is gonna be nuts
I see you also have sorted by new
Yup, Transformers and G.I. Joe go together like chocolate and peanut butter
Just like REESE'S peanut butter and chocolate candy.
"IM OFFICER REESES, WHAT HAPPENED HERE?"
This comment needs to be ratio
B-but........ im allergic to peanut butter...... does that mean Ill never get the satisfaction of seing a crossover between the two franchises.
@@silverback5730 Just get your EpiPen ready.
Now, I think it’s gonna be impossible for Rom The Space Knight to return into that crossover movie or the so-called HCU because I just heard that Rom The Space Knight has returned to Marvel
What, no, neither marvel Studios nor marvel comics are likely to do the character justice, their Talent is gone, why do you think the mcu is flopping now and comcis are dead
Something tells me that this will need an update soon on the Shared Cinematic universe lol
Also i know this is a GIJoe/Transformers Basics....but i want to know more about what's ROM upto in this lol
Wellnlets hier the disapointing Box Office for rise ist the beast which it didnt derseve(too many movies this summer and people more picky about which movies they watch), doesnt put an end to these plans
Transformers vs GI Joe by Tom Scioli is mind blowingly amazing and extremely reverential to both properties. Containing amazing art and the GREATEST redesign of Optimus Prime EVER making his usually mysteriously disappearing trailer transform into cool as F**K wings! Also he had a laser sword! Heavy recommend.
Its like poetry, it rhymes
Spoilers:
Rise of the Beasts. Post credit scene. I did not expect for Mirage (and human partner) to be the first Joes we'd be introduced to in this continuity, but there we go. May Hasbro not ****** this up.
I think it’s funny that right before this started, there was an ad playing for a government plan called COBRA
I’m here after the Transformers: Rise of the Beast movie
Been trying to watch Rise of the Beast i just cant😢
... If you're doing more videos on the Transformers crossovers, could you please do one on the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic crossover? Friendship in Disguise.
Lol imagine if they made an MLP GI Joe crossover. Low-key Pinkie Pie and Snake Eyes would be a fun duo. Kinda unlikely, but stranger things have happened.
@@beno2002 is it slightly bad to say that I have a plan for that in a hypothetical cartoon?
Can never get enough of crossovers. Maybe one day we’ll get a crossover in animation between the two but it’s nice there still meeting up to this day. A basics on Transformers crossovers in general will definitely top this.
I definitely agree considering we've had Transformers crossovers with MLP, Star Trek, Back to the Future and Ghostbusters, it would be a fun episode for sure.
@@BigAmericanGirlFan Doesn’t even have to stop there. There all the crossover toys loads of collaborations and way more to count.
I hope there's a crossover with Lego Characters
I of course have to shill Revolutionaries as my favourite crossover story! Happy it introduced me to the Adventure Team and G.I. Joe Extreme, which honestly are both *way* more interesting than ARAH.
In Transformers Earth Wars, they gave Viper a backstory to coincide with the GI Joe Crossover. In a cutscene, it's explained that Viper was originally a Cobra prototype who failed to meet expectations, so they lobotomized him.
Well this aged well
Yes an HCU is what we’ve been waiting for for centuries. So you decided to do Basics episodes for separate crossovers. That’s actually a smart idea. Maybe in the future we can expect Basics episodes for MLP, Micronauts and Marvel. 👍🏻 also with Kingdom hitting Netflix in 5 days, I trust you’ve got a big episode planned next week
Mind spoilers for rise of the beasts
End credits scene
Once, my grandpa told me he had some of the original GI Joe toys from the 60s when he was a kid.
My dad used to have the GI Joe #1 issue before his dad threw them out.
I kinda liked that Baroness figure with Ravage. That was a nice touch.
This is especially timely in light of Lorenzo di Bonaventura's recent comment that a cinematic crossover between Transformers and GI Joe is "inevitable" at this point.
Well, technically they did, the Bayverse had a lot of military screentime, they could have even said N.E.S.T. is GI Joe.
Yes I read that interview, both questions and answers were a grating read. More so the former.
@@Protosilver97 They should have been, honestly.
If Transformers had a decease it would be called Lorenzo, because that's what he is.
@@basedpota I'm curious if that will lead to Paramount distancing itself from Lorenzo di Bonaventura.
Growing up, I was always more Bots than Joes, but to this day I still get chills from the Earth Wars ad bringing in the Cobra downbeat answered by the resounding battlecry of "Yo Joe"!
I've also always wondered at the metaness of Cobra Commander riding in Starscream... Chris Latta inside Chris Latta is just so inceptiony.
Voice actor jokes
Suddenly this video is very relevant again👀👀👀
One of the most interesting episodes so far! Your work, Sir, is brilliant!
if they don't make an epic transformers and gi joe crossover movie this decade I'm going mad on my rotting corps
Got what you wanted
This……was……heaven!!!! I totally loved this episode! Thank you so much!
Let me hear it from all the people who came here after Rise of the Beasts.
YO JOE!!!!
I've always enjoyed crossover stories because that was how we played with our toys as kids. Just mush everyone together.
I've never felt Transformers needs to be in a shared universe. We have a whole species of characters in the Transformers. On top of the Nebulons, Quintessons, various Transformers colonies etc. It frustrates me when the movies have done little to nothing to really develop and explore all these characters yet then try and market a Transformers cross over with G.I Joe and other properties.
@Matt Borel The Transformers Cinematic Universe was derailed due to The Last Knight's disappointing response.
I kinda hope they fully reboot it in a few years, but it probably won't happen
@Matt Borel Hasbro had the opportunity to reboot earlier since the final cut of DOTM essentially ended the film franchise. Even Michael Bay said he would step down from the franchise as director, but unfortunately, they wanted to continue until the fifth entry, and if the Bumblebee film didn't succeed (since it was releasing as the same time as Aquaman and Mary Poppins), the franchise would've been done for good.
Agreed. There are already hundreds of characters in Transformers, they don't need to import any more.
Now you just need to do The Basics on the recent crossover of Transformers and My Little Pony.
Excuse me? Cobra commander called himself old snake? What’s next? Snake eyes calls himself Gray fox?
YESSS I'VE ALWAYS WANTED YOU TO TALK ABOUT CROSSOVERS!!! PLZ DO MORE
Well it looks this might finally happened in Live Action
Love the videos, they take me back to childhood every Saturday morning. I wake up for these early like I did for Saturday morning cartoons back in the day. Anyway G.I. Joe and Transformers goes together like meat and potatoes. We always played with our Transformers and G.I. Joe's together.
I honestly think it would be very interesting to see a crossover between the two franchises in modern times, especially a live action one. If they ever do decide to do something like that, I think Travis Knight's Transformers would work the best, especially if it was set in the 80s.😆👍🏼
U got it
My favorite crossover story is without a doubt Tom Scioli's Transformers vs G.I.Joe. That series was a trip in all the best possible ways!
