G.I. Joe Deck Building Game Transformers Crossover: New Alliances
Story Summary: The Joes are investigating unusual happening and it turns out that Cobra is working with the Decepticons. So the G.I. Joe teams up with the Autobots to stop Cobra and their new allies.
New mechanics include recruiting Autobots. Autobots can be sent on missions, can hitch a ride during battles, etc.\
Megatron is a HISSTank.

Transformers Deck Building Game Expansion: War On Cybertron
Standalone Box.
Different versions of characters than the original. Characters are younger versions of themselves.
Ne mechanics: As the game progressed there will be different sites (known as Polities) to play on. Polities are basically Cybertronian cities. The player can control those sites. As bad things happen, we leave Cybertron in ruins. As the game progresses the Matrix Grid will be hard to navigate. Mission Cards.
Pre-Order Bonus Pack: Additional playable characters: Ramjet and Windblade. There will also be Standees.
Transformers: Role Playing Game Expansion: The Time Is Now
The follow-up to Troubled Waters.
Other than known characters some new Decepticons were created for this adventure.
Story Summary: You are a rookie Autobot. Asked to check out on a minor incident that happened. It turns out to be a bigger plot by a [name redacted] Decepticon who is messing around in sciences he really doesn’t understand.

Finally got my deluxe HC of the main book.
axisvega
Yeah. Premium. I was feeling fancy!

I just wish their books weren't $55 each and could order the pdf separately.
Lincoln Tunnel
I'm in the same boat, but I'm grabbing the Cobra Codex as well, because what if Cobra Commander shows up? Anything can happen!

Man Renegade is REALLY bleeding me dry here. There's not only Across The Stars and Finster's Monster-Matic Cookbook for Power Rangers but now a book dedicated to crossovers.
I mean I need Finster to make my own threats which would also work for Transformers as well and Across for the new Gold, Silver, and Phantom Ranger roles as well as stat blocks for the Machine Empire for my long brewing story about the Decepticons allying themselves with the Machine Empire.
I'm sorry wallet, truly I am.

That promo image annoys the nerd in me because the Megazord should be way bigger than Devastator and Bumblebee wouldn't even come up to Devy's knee
SlickPrime
Nice! I look forward to getting the crossover campaign rule book. Someday I'll find friends to play with.

MMPR Megazord & G.i. Joe Very cool.
Lincoln Tunnel
Did you order the premium edition? The regular edition seems readily available in multiple places. And of course you can always get the PDFs if you're more into that.

They also just recently reupped their partnership with Hasbro by taking on several of their board game licenses like Diplomacy, Robo Rally and Axis & Allies.

Be pretty cool if they could release their first rpg book.
Pre-ordered it, only to have them email me and say they couldn't fulfill all the orders, but it would be reprinted in January.
Still waiting.
Lincoln Tunnel
I think as long as Renegade doesn't get bought and "reorganized" like FFG and Asmodee, they'll maintain the current licences in a much healthier manner.

They seem to have a long-term commitment to the licenses. Heroes of the Grid is about 5 years old now and still running with Joes having just joined the system in Mission Critical. The deckbuilders have been going since 2021. The RPG debuted last spring with 3 franchises hitting last year and MLP coming in June; all compatible. I share your sentiment about the CCG since I got out of it right before it died a swift death and was bummed. I think they'll last at least as long as FFG did Star Wars before they unceremoniously dumped everything in favor of the more expensive Legion. Actually, Heroes of the Grid is the same guy as Imperial Assault!
T-Hybrid
Now that Hasbro is willing to play around with the idea these universes can exist together, can we get either GI Joe Rangers or Transformer Rangers?
Also, what would be cooler? Transformers that morphed or human Rangers with Cybertronian themes?
Lincoln Tunnel
The Transformers x Power Rangers pic is the cover of a Source Book for the TTRPG. The MLP x Transformers Card Game crossover is a deck building game. Completely different than a TCG like the last MLP or Transformers Card games. It's a standalone game like a board game, with expansions.
Isaac Staffeld
After the rise of the beasts trilogy they should have new movie power rangers right? All I\'m saying is, hasbro could totally do just one classic styled crossover movie where devestator actually fights the power rangers. It doesn\'t have to be like an endgame or infinity war, more like Godzilla vs Kong. Please give us a real crossover hasbro.

Jerks making game cover of book got me excite for next transformers crossover comic until noticed it was game maybe this game will last longer unlike other card game that was released before Covid
SHIELD Agent 47
Indeed.

We also got an announcement of a Transformers expansion to the MLP Deck Building games. Can't wait for those wholesome "Magic of Cybertron" vibes.
