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

Well, this’ll probably be the closest thing to a G.I. Joe Basics episode…and I’m not gonna complain.

To think, Cobra Commander was once a car salesman. That explain why he’s ruthless. lol

Skywarp went from an extraterrestrial invader to a real American hero.

"Yo Joe and Roll Out" sounds like a service station cafe £3.99 meal deal.

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!"

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've come from the future to announce that there will be a GI Joe and Transformers crossover movie in the year.....

I'm right here after watching TRANSFORMERS RISE OF THE BEAST 😁

Coming from the future and just found this episode... Lets just say it may be time for an updated version of this video... 😉

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.

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

I'm here because it happening !!!

I find it poetic that the franchise that lead to the creation of the Transformers is also the one that's crossed-over with the transformers the most.

Marissa Fairborne is Flint and Lady Jaye's daughter? Mind blown!

Yo Joe and Roll out has to be the most 80's phrase ever spoken.

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.

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.

Yep here from the movie too. Not sure how to feel but I am on board with it for now.

I wonder how Flint would feel about his daughter's....activities over in the Kiss Players series.

11:05 "Cybertron is attacked by Joe Coleton, the original G. I. Joe from the 12 inch toyline." So, now he's like a giant?

"Yo Joe and Roll Out!" has the potential to be the most hot blooded super robot mecha rollcall/finishing move battle cry in all of history and you squandered it.

Wait wait wait, hold on a second! You’re saying that, if it weren’t for GI Joe, we wouldn’t have transformers? Holy crow, that’s wild!

I hope we are gonna get a Hotshot episode soon, we got Bumblebee and Cheetor so lets get the last kid appeal character (that matters)

Man, just came back from the movie. Really struggling to come up with a comment to express my surprise with the ending of a new movie without spoiling it lol. If you know you know I guess.

The GI Joe and Transformers crossover was one of the more interesting crossovers that has to did.

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.

Just left the theater and now I am here !!

10:10 well you're wrong about that my friend 😏

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.

I’ll never forget Snakeyes cauterizing his wounds with gunpowder in the WWII comic. Man, Jae Lee’s art was really something else. So damn good

All i want is a crossover on film! Second!!!

Thanks to Rise of the Beasts, this is more relevant than ever.

So everyone else pouring in after Rise of the beasts?

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.

An episode about the Ark and Nemesis would be cool.

Yeah all the old Hasbro/Marvel Productions animated series were unofficially in the same universe.

Came here after watching Transformers: Rise of the beast.

I came from the future, and I think that maybe Hasbro will make an cinematic universe, or not. This post credit scene in Rise of the Beasts probably will be an open door.

I'd love to see an animated series where the two finally, properly meet. If watching Sentai has taught me anything, it's that normal-sized characters and their giant-sized buddies make for some fun shenanigans!

Who came after the Transformers Rise Of the Beast

Skywarp joining G.I. Joe is hilarious.

I don't care if he's a boring choice or everyone picks him, snake eyes was always the coolest joe

Time for a movie crossover perhaps?

YES! cant wait for the next Transformer film

Spoiler alert but Rise of the beasts teased a crossover/shared universe 😊

The name Diamondbolt gives to his pain. Y’know, aside from Energon, The Beast Within, the Prime Wars trilogy, The Last Knight and Kiss Players.

After watching the new Transformers movie, I immediately searched for this

Like if you are here after Transformers rise of the beasts post credit scene.

I see you also have sorted by new

How'd bro predict the future of the new transformers movie...

Skywarp is the REAL American hero

I have found memories of the Transformers/Action Force comic. As a kid I couldn't imagine such a thing happening till I brought that first issues.

Yup, Transformers and G.I. Joe go together like chocolate and peanut butter

12:45 Baroness & Ravage is so effin dope. I have to read the story of the first Joe going rogue. That sounds incredibly interesting.

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...

Can’t wait for the new films coming up… this is gonna be nuts

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

I think you should do Mirage, since he will appear in Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts. And currently he doesn’t have any future appearances in any kind of future media right now.

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

Its worth boring that the marvel comics continuity of A Real American Hero is still ongoing through IDW (separate from IDE's original continuities) with the same writer as its always been, Larry Hama!

Well this aged well

Who's here after rise of the beast

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

Who's here after Rise of the Beasts?!

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.

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.

13:54 Well I do have my own fan made cinematic/shared universe called the "Robertverse". Which is set in the Aligned continuity and uses the Unit: E concept. It's similar to Commander Radix's: Kalamos Mythos.

Suddenly this video is very relevant again👀👀👀

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.

Who else is here after seeing rise of the beasts

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.

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.

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

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.

Once, my grandpa told me he had some of the original GI Joe toys from the 60s when he was a kid.

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.

Excuse me? Cobra commander called himself old snake? What’s next? Snake eyes calls himself Gray fox?

Well it looks this might finally happened in Live Action

if they don't make an epic transformers and gi joe crossover movie this decade I'm going mad on my rotting corps

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.

Let me hear it from all the people who came here after Rise of the Beasts. YO JOE!!!!

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)

Now you just need to do The Basics on the recent crossover of Transformers and My Little Pony.

Ok, I loved ROTB. But my fucking god WHAT HAVE THEY DONE!?!?!?!?!?

I think it’s funny that right before this started, there was an ad playing for a government plan called COBRA

I kinda liked that Baroness figure with Ravage. That was a nice touch.

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.

Funny how I get this recommended after Rise of the Beasts came out

You know why I’m here

You mentioned GIJoe Renegades!!!! That is my favorite incarnation of the Joes.

I was so confused at the end. I thought it was sector 7😅

Who’s here after Rise of the Beasts

That was awesome! I would love to see you do a series that explains the G.I. Joe lore like you do with Transformers.

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

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"!

Its like poetry, it rhymes

You'll need to update this soon

I've always enjoyed crossover stories because that was how we played with our toys as kids. Just mush everyone together.

Now this is gonna to be happen in a big screen
