A TF verses G.I Joe live action mode would be epic bad/awful. Using the DD/DW comics as the ultimate examples here.

The first movie in the saga,would waste far too much time on origins of the teams/where they came from/how they settled in their current location,origins of characters,teaming up of the teams/characters,Etc.. Snake eyes is bound to over dominate these movies as he did in the DD/DW comics.

Due to how un-realitic,mad scientist,the Cobra element is,this is bound hurt the VS movies.

On a VS toy front,This would be great for buyers/both toy francises. As we'd get diffent alt modes for The Transformers. The Autobots could get G.I Joe realistic miliarty & un-realistic modes. While the Decepticons could get Cobra style vehicles.

Not if this movie was in continuity with the previously existing TF and GI Joe films. (Hard to do, but not necessarily impossible--just establish that the TF films take place after the GI Joe films. Given that Retaliation takes place, at best, in 2008, and it's not really that hard to see.) I mean, The Avengers didn't need more than a few minutes to establish every existing character who appeared.

Also, like it or not, Snake Eyes is pretty much the main character of the GI Joe universe.

It wouln't work due to both francise movies killing off a huge chunck of the core characters cast. due to so many dying,they'd need to waste large amounts of time developing the newer characters persona's & origins in this VS movie.

Most super heroes marvel or DC movies viewers assume all the super heroes/vilians exist in the same universe. The same can not be said for the live action TF & G.I Joe movies,most viewers don't assume they all exist in the same universe. Thus far their have been Three TF live movies & TWO G.I Joe live movies,Their have been no hints & no characters cameos from either movie crossing over in each others live movie. it's far too late to drop a hint or a cameo apperance in TF4.

Micheal bay would never do a G.I Joe VS TF live movie,he'd quit the francise before this happened. Micheal would refuse because he knows the VS movie would be epic bad/awful.

Have something be a joint operation between GI JOE and NEST or have one fold into the other. Boom. Done.


When I saw the first one I was half expecting the nanites Destro had to have been reverse engineered from cybertronian tech.

My question is: Deathy, why did you have to put that such a cross over would be bad/awful in the thread title rather than having the title be something like "What would you think of a TV/GI Joe live action movie?"? That kind of title would invite genuine discussion where as the way you've titled it is almost like you're daring us to disagree with you, which we inevitably will and, well, we've all seen how that usually turns out. So I guess I subsequently have to ask why you would just create a thread for us to disagree with you?

Bay is already (supposedly) leaving after TF4, although he said he was also done after TF3. I can see the guys after him being open to it.

And they wouldn't need to do a cameo appearance, or anything, to "solidify" that they take place in the same universe. Look at the Aliens vs. Predator films! The only thing that even hinted that they were in the same universe was a Xenomorph skull in the trophy room in Predator 2, and yet you can go right from that movie to AvP without missing a beat. (AvP is a bad movie for a lot of reasons, but whatever.)

Micheal Bay isn't leaving after TF4.

I never said that Hasbro/Micheal would find it hard to work the Joes into the Live action TF movies. They'd fit in perfectly in their toned downed persona's/outfits that used in their live action G.I Joe movies. After all the TF live movies was successful at mixing in army guys.

I said the bad guys on the Cobra side,Hasbro & Micheal would find it hard to mix them into any live action TF movie. Due to the bad guys on the Cobra side being so off the wall crazy/insane/OCD/wacky,mad scientist & super-fiscal 1980's type cartoon villians.

A live action TF movie with just the joes & no bad guys on the Cobra side wouldn't be a true VS movie.

Micheal Bay isn't leaving after TF4.

He said he was. He said the only reason he's doing TF4 is to "make sure nobody can screw it up." Basically setting up the next two movies for someone else to do.

I disagree that someone else would "screw it up," but whatever.
