Posted: Tue Dec 15, 2015 12:41 pmAwesome news! I've been hoping that M.A.S.K. would make a comeback, would love to collect some updated toys. Not a lot of toy lines out there with vehicles and drivers/pilots as memorable as M.A.S.K.

Posted: Tue Dec 15, 2015 11:18 pmWill they, Hb hire Shinji Aramaki back? Iirc, not only did he design the original MASK vehicles on the fly, he also was responsible for the Cyclone/Bubblegum Crisis bike armors and Soundwave,Reflector,Perceptor and Scope Dog.
Now, please don't sh*t on the storyline the way they did in the 1st G.I. Joe....

Posted: Wed Dec 23, 2015 1:01 amI think the Ship has sailed on Rom the Space Knight - but I suppose you can make a fun space adventure Movie out of the property I guess.
But it's not going to be making $1,Billion dollars so anything they make will essentially be a niche vanity project.
I don't think Visionaries needs to share any Universe with anything else - However I don't mind to much if the defunct age of technology they mention as back story is the same Universe as say Rom - that's fine as it not important enough to matter one way or the other.
But deep connections between such distinct brands would just be forced - even more so than trying to force M.A.S.K. into Gi Joe is.
M.A.S.K. would likely work best as a Movie actually set in an alternative 1980's or in a Timeless era like that Horror Movie with the Sexually Transmitted Demon from some months back.
I'd love a Visionaries Movie but I doubt Hasbro would be wanting to spend the sort of money needed to make it a good movie.
Visionaries is a great show - but it hardly last longer than someone lunch break in terms of longevity - they never even released the 2nd series of toys they designed. - I dread to think how much money a Visionaries Figure would cost now if it was a new line - $20.00 each maybe !!!
I suspect Micronauts is something that can't help but annoy someone - personally I'd scrap everything to do wit the Marvel Comics completely and just make a western version of Microman (more or less).
Or a whole new story based on the premise - I guess you could do Micronauts rather like Small Soldiers - and again an 1980's/1970's Nostalgia piece would be fun to see - but heck knows how modern kids would react to that.
What to current kids think of things like Old Batmobiles Videogame DLC for example ?
I don't expect much to come of this writers room - I don't think Hasbro really wants to spend the Money or treat the properties in a sensitive manner - Otherwise they'd not have allowed Gi Joe's sequel to be so sabotaged as it was.
