Back in 2023, there was the surprise reveal that the comic, "Void Rivals," was the launch of a new shared Universe featuring Transformers, G.I. Joe, and original creations by Robert Kirkman, Lorenzo De Felici, and company over at Skybound (an imprint of Image). Since then, we've had a number of series set in the, "Energon," universe. It has been quite successful, and now an adult (as in geared towards grown-ups, not full of sex) animated series based on the comics is on the way from Hasbro and Skybound in partnership with whoever wants to buy it.
Kirkman is a solid writer, even if he has a tendency to milk his most successful franchises for all they are worth--cough, Walking Dead, cough. When he has a hit, though, it is a hit. I am interested in seeing where this television show could go, and imagine lots of merchandise tie-ins could occur as well, because that would both be fun, and these franchises actually are begging to be milked to a degree based on their toy-heavy history.
