How would Marvel look if Transformers, G.I. Joe, Rom etc. stayed in 616 comics?

How would Marvel look if Transformers, G.I. Joe, Rom, Red Sonja, and Micronauts stayed in the Earth-616 as major players? How do you think that would impact events and movies? If all of these characters were thought to be Marvel characters?

[JudicatorPrime]

Rom and Micronauts definitely would have been major players. Rom would have participated in the Skrull invasion storylines, given the Dire Wraiths are their distant cousins or something like that. The Micronauts + the Multiverse kind of writes itself. And with the Uni-Power/Enigma Force still around, they could have been featured in several stories.

And then there's Red Sonja. Imagine the possibilities. If Odin had to have a secret daughter, she should have been it! No need to buy Angela. Or at least no need to completely revamp Angela's history. Red Sonja as an anachronism would have worked far better than Conan, imho. Add her to any team, even Guardians of the Galaxy, and she fits right in, especially if she got a power creep due to Asgardian genes. Crazier things have happened in Marvel than, say, a Red Sonja vs. Thanos or Apocalypse or Hela storyline. Her attire might need a redesign for modern sensibilities ... but then again, maybe not, based on some of the outfits I've seen celebrities wear to awards shows.

Personally I always thought, Nick Fury, Head of Gi Joe, had a good ring to it.

Which Transformer do you think would fit the best on the Avengers? I would not pick Optimus, because he needs to lead the Autobots. But maybe Rodimus, Smokescreen, or Cliffjumper.

^^^It'd be a cool story, highlighting the similarities between the Joes and S.H.I.E.L.D. as well as the differences in the two organizations’ mission statements and approaches.
Plus when all is said and done, we can have an epilogue showing us readers an old file that details how Nick inadverdantly inspired the Joe program through his Howling Commandos exploits.

I think Peter David could have given us a fun Micronauts/Hulk/Genis/Rick Jones adventure in the Microverse.

The FF, Autobots and Decepticons dealing w. Galactus’ arrival on Cybertron would be pretty cool.

And speaking of the Big G, ROM Herald of Galactus has a nice ring to it.

And then there’s Godzilla….

I could see Ratchet for support.
Then I would want someone to be the Quinjet.

[Mister Mets]

Team books would certainly be different.

Team books would certainly be different.

I can definitely see Rom joining the Avengers, and probably, later on, the modern day Guardians of the Galaxy.

I think the Autobots need Ratchet. And the Avengers don't need a Cybertronian medic like they do. So, I think one of those I suggested or another Autobot who isn't an unknown but doesn't fulfill an essential role would be a better fit.

[Alan2099]

I would absolutely love to see any comic that gets Dr. Doom and Cobra Commander in the same room trying to have a discussion.

Jazz definitely becomes Misty Knight's new ride. At least in my mind. And who knows, maybe her arm gets a Cybertronian upgrade.

I know, right?! That's why my choice would be Ultra Magnus, since he's such a loyal soldier. Without a doubt, one can always count on him.

I feel like a newer recruit might make more sense than a veteran. Magnus would go where he's asked, but I don't see him wanting to serve with anyone other than his Cybertronian squad.

Funny you should mention that...Genis-Vell did team up with The Micronauts a couple times in PAD's first Captain Marvel series.
