Agreed. Could have sworn I mentioned Bayverse. Thats the reason I consider the TF franchise to include throwback stuff "mainstream" now. Forgive me for not mentioning that.

That is the first you've mentioned Bayverse? It isn't necessarily wrong but that very much says animated. I've only been mentioning 'mainstream' because you have and I already feel the word is losing what meaning it had managed to grab hold of. Anyway I'm fine stopping here too.

I dont know why you keep bringing up "mainstream". All I said was that Bayverse brought mainstream TF fans into the fandom. When I say "mainstream" I mean non-geeks. The type of guys who would own a Bumblebee edition Camaro or buy $200 Megatron shoes with a hip hop theme. You cant deny it, the "geek" aspect of the transformers fandom is not as strong as it used to be. Then here comes some guy and says "watching cartoons is geeky" (might have been you I dont remember) That was the whole basis of my comment about cartoons. I was basically saying dont get it twisted, I may watch a few old cartoons but I dont mesh well with the whole geek cultrure thing. Got a lot of dirty looks at the 4 Botcons I went to like wtf is this guy with gold grillz doing here, but some of the geeks was very friendly which was cool. Now im going off topic but to bring it back, star trek just hasnt reached that level of mainstream non-geek acceptance that TF ans star wars has currently. Maybe its all that culture crap thats holding it back. Just my opinion. Im pretty much done here. Everybody knows I think star trek sucks so maybe now they at least get why. A few of those early replys seemed to suggest that I sinned for dissing ster trek lol.

I missed that sure. You didn't explicitly state it, but I don't explicitly state most of the stuff I should so shared flaw there. Not sure how much that helps though. It is a valid reason to watch a few cartoons*, but there is just something about the way you write it down that comes off funny to someone who probably comes off funny to you.
*still not mainstream though
Rated X
I think you missed my entire point. I watch a few throwback tv shows from my childhood and some of them happen to be cartoons. I dont watch cartoons on the sole basis that they are cartoons as a "cartoon fan". I dont watch cartoon network, adult swim or any animated show that is new.

Two words: Angela Cartwright.

Do you perhaps think you watched them as a kid for a reason? Maybe because, I don't know, kids were part of the audience? I watch cartoons every week, would love to get into animation myself and even I'm not deluded enough to call them mainstream. You can make a cartoon adaption of the Killing Joke which gets more controversy than the controversial original for explicit sex and implied rape and still find it in the kids section right next to preschool fluff because they are that far removed from mainstream past childhood. How did you even make it through primary school without 12 year olds letting you know they are too old for them?
Maybe stop digging that hole and just ignore the book. The cartoons of your childhood don't exist any less because someone made a crossover decades later in a different medium with a show you've got a weird grudge for.

I guess different strokes for different folks. Its the griminess that makes me like star wars. Love those dirty bars and trading outposts and creepy locals.

No, Lost in Space is!

Well, it is not the first "wacky" thing that the license holder of Star Trek has agreed on.

To see them team up.

What I meant was the transformers are gonna win so what the point
Michael Payton
To sell comics.

The first issue was okay enough to warrant a second helping. It's fun seeing the animated Transformers meeting the animated era TOS crew.
I want to see Planet of the Apes vs Beast Wars. Sometime during the first season, Rhinox or Tarantulas tries to fix one of the transwarp engines and accidently sends most the cast into to the POTA timeline. It'd be worth it to get the inevitable image of Optimus Primal with the other Apes.
Rated X
Damn who comes up with this stuff?
Rated X
Im wouldnt be suprised if its probably in the works, lol

Well, the Lone Gunmen met both the Turtles and the Autobots… along with Ghostbusters and the Crow.
Curium
After reading your question I was curious and googled it. As far as I can tell they haven't, but I did find this article from 2016 on IGN. If it did happen I would rather it not be done by Michael Bay at least. No Transformers-Ninja Turtles Crossover Movie Until Stories 'Played Out' – IGN
Rated X
Ive asked myself the same thing about every "vs" comic involving transformers. They did superheroes, gi joe, visionaries…have they fought the turtles yet ?

to be honest what’s the point of making Star Trek vs tf tra
