So technically... they will give us a shared universe with these properties?

Im in.

[CrimsonRain666]

What? No Jem and the Holograms joining the crossover. OUTRAGE! haha!

[leokearon]

While I'm glad that Tfs are leading the way, I hope there wouldn't be too many crossovers, the just TF crossovers tend to be dodgy at best

[Botch the Crab]

Do. Not. Want. I don't want MASK or GI Joe or ROM showing up in my Transformers comics. This crossover won't be getting my money.

Fortunately, it won't last long because properties like MASK and Action Man will fizzle out quickly and return to the graveyard from which they were in desperation unearthed.

Doesn't Marvel own the Dire Wraiths?

[MoonDog]

thought it was bad with Rebirth and Civil War 2. IDW managed to top them with this. 3 uninspiring events from 3 of the major publishers.

Doesn't Marvel own the Dire Wraiths?

Only their own versions. The name "Dire Wraith" was first used in an ad for ROM before any Marvel involvement, so Hasbro and IDW can use their own version.

Controversial question?

That article's kind of wrong, as Marvel didn't create them for the comic; again, the Dire Wraiths were a pre-Marvel thing. Marvel just gave them their look (which is the thing IDW can't use)

Will Mtmte get a new #1 too? Or just Transformers?

[Jeremi]

I'm quite excited for this. Big fan of M.A.S.K., G.I. Joe and Transformers so will totally check this out when it drops.

[The One and Only]

Interesting. But any chance of this setting up a return of the Inhumanoids ?

Will Mtmte get a new #1 too? Or just Transformers?

I'll answer myself.
