My Idea for a Connected Cinematic Universe of Hasbro Films Distributed by Paramount Pictures. All Movies and Characters from Transformers, G.I.Joe, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Equestria Girls, Power Rangers (Because Hasbro Bought it), and Rom SpaceKnight. With some other Hasbro Porperties Sprinkled in like their Board Games and Such. Much of the Idea Came from the 2018 BumbleBee Movie. My idea is to Introduce the AutoBots and G.I. Joes in their own movies, & a few crossovers. This will be the idea for the first two phases. While introducing new AutoBots, Joes, Decepticons and Cobra Villains. The third phase will finally introduce the Mane 6 from Equestria. The Mane 6 become real humans when travelling to the Transformers/G.I. Joes' world (ala Equestria Girls). While also introducing the Power Rangers and Rom The Space Knight. After many crossovers and sequels, these characters will finally face off against Villains like MegaTron, Cobra Commander, StarScream, Destro, NightMare Moon, Discord, Lord Tirek, Devastator, Unicron and Megatronous, a.k.a. The Fallen.
