The Hasbro Power-Formers!

Hasbro has long wanted to get into the expanded universe business with their movie properties, and it now seems like they are taking their first step to making it a reality.  There is a new rumor out there that says that they are working on a Transformers/Power Rangers movie.  Worst mentioned by Mike Sutton who has the Facebook Group page Geekosity, he said:

"Hasbro still has dreams of weaving together its properties into a single, cohesive cinematic universe, and they would love for the Power Rangers to be a significant part of it.  According to insiders I spoke to, there are talks of the Power Rangers co-existing in the same universe as the Transformers."

Sutton did make it clear that if the Transformers were to end up in a Power Rangers movie, it would not be a part of the current Transformers cinematic universe.  He said, "No, this wouldn't be Michael Bay's Transformers but the post-Bumblebee vision."  But these wouldn't be the only two properties to be involved in this universe.  He wen on to say:

"A Power Rangers/Transformers film could certainly ignite the franchise, if done correctly. Then add ROM and the Micronauts to the mix and you have the ultimate geek fest.  But it all depends on Hasbro and Paramount Pictures, what their creative teams can conjure up."

Now I have to admit, while it certainly wasn't  favorite movie of mine, the Power Rangers  movie that they made wasn't all that bad.  It could've been a lot worse, and when I was done watching it, I thought, "Huh.  That wasn't horrible," which is what I look for in a movie.  To quote my friend The Iconoslast, I want to leave the movie in a better mood than when I went in.n  So by that measure, it was a good movie.

Combining all four of these properties into one movie?  That would be SICK!  I hope that they make this happen.  I got the information for this post from BoundingIntoComics.com.  It's a great website, you should check them out.  You can also go onto Facebook and check out The Iconoclast and his videos that bring you up to speed on fanboy news, too/
