Hasbro Talk New Hasbro Cinematic Universe

Posted on February 12, 2016 at 12:11 pm by Joe Moore under G.I. Joe Toy News, General Toy News, M.A.S.K. Toy News

Our good friend SilverOptimus covered the Hasbro Toy Fair and Investors Event today. While very Transformers-centric, they did showcase an image for their upcoming Hasbro Cinematic Universe brands. These include:

  • Micronauts
  • GI Joe
  • M.A.S.K.
  • Visionaries

The announcement was accompanied by our first look at key art for a few of these. While we don’t expect toys for these to be revealed this weekend, this is an indicator of what to expect in the near future from Hasbro!

Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner had this to say:

“Hasbro’s great brands G. I. Joe, Micronauts, ROM, M.A.S.K and Visionaries. Paramount and Hasbro’s AllSpark Pictures are producing these films which will develop deep stories and great characters as we imagine the future of these brands.”

It seems as though the future of the above franchises depends on the success of upcoming movies.

Earlier, HISSTANK posted a news article highlighting the fact that Hasbro will be more involved with the Live Action Movies and today’s announcement of co-production with Paramount confirms the statement.

You can check out the slide from the presentation attached with this post and visit our sister site TFW2005 for more info from the event.

    Hasbro concluded their 2016 Toy Fair Investor and Press Day moments ago and highlighted plans for the future of several Hasbro brands.

    Micronauts and Rom...*sigh* As far as I understand, licensing issues prevent them from appearing as Marvel properties, which means they won't show up as Legends. Oh well, I'm excited to see what they do with them nonetheless. Visionaries will be an interesting revival as well, so I'll keep my eyes peeled.

    @BlueMarvel

    But they can still make toys of them can they not? I bet Hasbro will find a way to give a Legends scale figure.

    So the car for the new Mask is the Speed Racer car? hmmm?
    Now Visionaries making a come back thats somthing i want to see. I loved the toon & toy line. Hate that we never got season 2. They even made a Season 2 toy line. Shout needs to get the full run of Visionaries out on dvd. And they need to get a move on. On G.i. Joe 3 & a new G.i. Joe cartoon.

    @Chuck

    I don't think so, Chuck. Sure, they can make toys in 6" for both, but I believe there is something about the license that prohibits them form being associated with Marvel. I think Marvel lost the rights to Rom a long time ago and that's why he's never shown up in any attempt to revive the Spaceknights in books...it also reflects in the decision to re-brand Venom as a Spaceknight. Additionally, I remember something about the Micronauts characters of Acroyear and Captain Rann being off limits. Marvel Legends could issue a Bug (which works for me), but many other characters cannot be made. Don't quote me, but I believe it shakes out somewhere along those lines.

    M.A.S.K.??? Holy $#!+!!! I was just thinking about watching that show the other day.

    If the Hasbro Cinematic Universe (HCU) can get top notch directors and writers like the MCU and DC's fairly new universe (I like Zack Snyder, so what? ), I think there might be a resurgence to and a transition from comic into toy franchises. It has to be done right though. If the weak outnumber the strong, then who knows how long comics will reign supreme?

    Considering Hasbro and Marvel have a working relationship, they really should have done something to get at least Rom back into the Marvel Universe instead of having IDW reboot him.

    Rom is so integrated into the Marvel Universe and so much of the world-building done for him was created and still owned by Marvel that it seems the best Hasbro can do for us is give us a shadow of what made him great.

    Man, I was a big ROM fan back in the day. Looking forward to the movie...provided it actually happens. Lots of things are announced to be "in production" that never come to pass. We'll see.

    Curious how Rom will go. That could prove interesting.
    Micronauts could be interesting, and I kind of expect that it might connect to the overall Hasbro cinematic universe as a universal in all continuities world.

    Visionaries is an epic idea. I'm really curious to see how the live of that will develop. The potential within the magic to technology combination for 'future knights' is massive.

    GI Joe and transformers, let's see where they go first, but I'm hoping for progression of BATs, ninjaBATs, and cyber/techno ninjas in GI Joe. Still hoping for that CyberNinja Arashikage subline like the 80s ninjastorm subline but cooler, with more accessories, and highly pose-able. Movie-verse transformers I'm hoping for more progression of the origins of the cube, Cybertron as unicron, and more other suggested details in the films that seem to keep going ignored.

    Mask I'm kind of curious what they are going to do.
    It's kind of a combination of transformers and gi joe as it is, only with a different terrorist organization.

    Kind of curious if any of these will get interconnected too.

    Micronauts is any time frame because it's a micro-cosm sub-atomic universe.

    Rom can have placement in any era due to the space origins (which would actually be really cool to see in the Visionaries world because of how non-magic technology no longer works on that planet.)

    Visionaries is a far off future where something happens that causes technology to instantly stop working, and they find a magic source that then repowers much of their tech and enhances it. So that's a perfect post-apocalyptic timeline end point for the transition into more of a medieval but futuristic society of knights.

    GI Joe and Transformers are present day, but not interconnected that we are aware of. Though it is possible that NEST is the original GI Joe, but there are some tech complications in there potentially.

    And Mask is kind of that mixed point of GI Joe and Transformers, where GI Joes have Transformer like tech integrated into their vehicles. That time period is that kind of few years off into the future non-date like the original X-men movies used.

    Inhumanoids is one I'd like to see covered, but that can wait for now to see how these go first. It'd cover another genre base easily enough though and TitanFall already has shown how video game interactions of such a world could prove fun.

    I could not care less if the Marvel logo appears on the packaging. I just w̶a̶n̶t need a 6 inch Rom figure.
