Welcome to My Take On a Hasbroverse
Voltron
This is part 20 in a series. So, it’s time to talk about Voltron. It’s another property Hasbro does not own. I’m not sure how easy it would be to purchase; it is owned by both DreamWorks and World Events Productions. DreamWorks bought the television rights to Voltron relatively recently, I don’t think they’ll want…
The Knights of the Magical Light
This is part 19 in a series. So, the message from Optimus Prime comes through to Earth, our allies are in need, Cybertron has been taken over by the Drule Empire. Optimus has asked us to search uncharted regions of the universe in hopes of finding Voltron. We send out a few different exploration groups. …
Transformers Part the Second
This is part 18 of a series. When we last left off with the Transformers, Optimus Prime was dead, Megatron had given up his quest for domination (because yes, we’re keeping that from Transformers: Prime), and the war between the Autobots and Decepticons had sort of ended. We can have a Transformers series taking place…
Truly, Truly, Truly Outrageous
This is part 17 in a series. As we know Emmett Benton’s father or grandfather worked on various projects involving hard light and Artificial Intelligence for the Government. He also had a deep love for music. Unfortunately, the presence of Unicron’s sparkless body in the center of the Earth caused a few of the subjects…
The Bionic Six
This is part 16 of a series. The Bionic Six. Not owned by Hasbro, not really needed, but easy to fit in. Timeline wise, this takes place probably just before Centurions. Another attempt to integrate man and machine to help humans fight off Zentradi and Cybertronians and any other potential alien species out there. Much…
Into the Weeds
This is part 15 in a series. Up to this point in the series we’ve dealt with the franchises, that to the best of my knowledge, Hasbro owns. Some of them might be a bit murky, such as StarCom and Centurions. I believe Hasbro owns those rights, as Centurions was a toy line by Kenner…
GoBots
This is part 14 in a series. And now we’re on to GoBots. There are going to be some major changes here to really make GoBots fit into the Hasbroverse as we’re creating it. GoBots in America have always kind of been looked at as a low budget knock off Transformers, so we’re going to…
Furbies, FurReal Friends, Baby Alive, and Rom, oh my!
This is part 13 in a series. So, we’re going to cover four franchises today; Furbies, FurReal Friends, Baby Alive, and Rom: The Space Knight. Why are we doing these all in one post? Well, the integrations of Furbies, FurReal Friends, and Baby Alive into the Hasbroverse are all similar. As for Rom, I don’t…
StarCom
This is part 12 in a series. I realize I forgot to account for something in the previous post. Technically, humans would have already had access to Faster Than Travel prior to accessing the Microverse, namely Cybertronian Space Bridge technology. There a few problems with Space Bridge technology, though. It’s great for colonization, not so…
Micronauts
This is Part Eleven in a series. Let’s talk Micronauts. We just discussed Centurions, which we said was going to use the Microman body, so why do we need the Micronauts? Well, what we really want is the Microverse, because it’s going to explain a few things. When Transformers mass shift, where does the extra…
Centurions
This is Part Ten in a series. We’re at an odd point in this series now. The timeline isn’t that firm in my head. GI Joe happens between seasons 2 and 3 of our Transformers treatment, as it helps to explain the shift in relations between the Autobots and Earth Governments. Sky Commanders needs to…
M.A.S.K.
This is Part Nine in a series. Alright, so now we’re into M.A.S.K. aka Mobile Armor Strike Kommand. And we’ve sort of set up for this series already, we’ve got Matt Tracker as someone who went through GI Joe training but never got his code name, a nod to the 25th Anniversary GI Joe figure…
Sky Commanders
This is Part Eight in a series. There are a few things I forgot to mention in the last post, so we’re going to start off with those, before moving on to Sky Commanders. Agent Fowler being a former GI Joe that completed the training but never got his code name, gives us a chance…
Yo Joe?
This is Part Seven in a series. So, GI Joe. Can the Joes even work in the modern day? Given that they’re not on toy shelves, someone seems to have decided they can’t. I disagree. The Corps, a toy line that is basically GI Joe, is still on toy shelves, and getting large sections, https://twitter.com/ToyboxSoapbox/status/1204871298075299840?s=20…
The Transformers
This is Part Six in a series. As I said in the previous post, I’m going to restrict myself to broad strokes as much as possible. The goal here is to get an initial three season run out of the Transformers series, and remember, that’s three 26 episode seasons, and we’re releasing on streaming platforms,…
Some Housekeeping
This is Part Five in a series. So, let’s set some ground rules for what we’re doing here before we get into it. I’m not laying out every episode of a series. I am going to give the basic premise and maybe a few story beats that must happen. For the most part, the overall premise of a…
The Beginning of My Insanity
This is Part Four in a series. Okay, so let’s talk about what everyone wants to do, an Expanded or Connected Universe. Oh, but only Marvel can do those. Well, here’s the question. Why is Marvel the only one who can do it? DC has done it, not on film, but they did it in the comics just fine. In…
Whatever Happened to Play Time?
This is Part Three in a series. A few articles about the benefits of play just to add to the information I’ve already provided. http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/119/1/182 https://www.parentingscience.com/benefits-of-play.html https://psychcentral.com/lib/the-benefits-of-play/ We have a problem, at least in America. Kids aren’t being allowed to play anymore. They go to school, and they’re given too much homework. Then after school,…
Info Dump
This is Part Two in a series. So, in preparation for my next post in this series, I wanted to add some evidence, and provide some evidence for my previous post. I’m going to provide a link to some YouTube videos from Saberspark that discuss what’s going on at Cartoon Network. He provides examples of…
Streaming Culture And Its Effects On Storytelling
This is Part One in a Series Alright, so I’ve got this idea kicking around in my head that I just need to let loose into the world. The only problem is, I need to establish a few things first. So, this is going to the start of a series of blog posts, and while…
