Okay I'm here to tell you guys that Hasbro has had a shared universe before the IDW comics and the upcoming Paramount movies.

It all starts with the Marvel comics of Rom & the MIcronauts in 1979 they were in the main universe of Marvel and they made a few impacts to the universe that are still in it to this day, then 3 years later in 1982 Marvel made the G.I. Joe comics at the time G.I. Joe have also been in the main Marvel universe as well with the fact there was a few guest Marvel superheroes in it like Iron Fist & Elektra, then in 1984 Marvel made the Transformers comics like G.I. Joe at the time it could have been seen as being in the main Marvel universe but the Transformers & G.I. Joe comics didn't leave as big of impacts as Rom & Micronauts did so they were retconned into being a different universe but Rom & the Micronauts could still exist in that different universe as well, there were 6 other Hasbro toylines that got comics that could also be in this different universe, Inhumanoids, Visionaries, Robotix, Starrors, Air Raiders, and Spider-Man & Zoids.

In 1983 Marvel and Sunbow made the G.I. Joe cartoon air on tv, thanks to the success of G.I. Joe Marvel and Sunbow went and made My Little Pony: Rescue at Midnight Castle and the Transformers cartoon which as of today are Hasbro's top sales, then in 1985 a Jem of a cartoon was made that was truly outrageous, then in 1986 the Inhumanoids cartoon was made unlike any of the past cartoons Inhumanoids was named after the bad guys of the cartoon, most of the cartoons I just talked about are in the same universe (My Little Pony might be in it too) because there was one character that appeared in all of them (but not in MLP) his name was Hector Ramirez, there was one more cartoon that was confirmed to be in this Hasbro cartoon universe and that was C.O.P.S. ( Central Organization of Police Specialists), but like I said MLP might also be in the universe as well along with any other Hasbro cartoons by Sunbow and DIC (C.O.P.S), Sunbow made a Dungeons & Dragons cartoon that could be in this Hasbro cartoon universe as well thanks to the fact the main characters are from 80's America and are teleported into the world of D&D.

I'm not going to talk to much about the IDW Hasbro Universe, but the first Transformers comic in this universe was made in 2005 and then in 2008 was the G.I. Joe comics were made, then they were made into a shared universe in 2016 along side Rom, Micronauts, Action Man, M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand), & as of 2017 Visionaries has been added, at small part of the IDW Hasbro Universe is Jem & Clue.

This to people that don't understand why Hasbro is making a shared movie universe, and yes I know it could be because of Marvel, but I was just letting you know that then is a good reason for Hasbro to make one and it's not just random thing for Hasbro to make money with.

Thanks for the explanation. :)

I realized that Beyblade is going to be in the movie universe at some point.

Well it was announced that Hasbro & Paramount are going to make a live-action Beyblade movie in 2015 and then a few months later Hasbro & Paramount announced that they were going to make a shared movie universe of Hasbro characters. And seeing how D&D wasn't one of the Hasbro produces said to be going to be use for the Hasbro Movie Universe and it's going to be the 3rd movie of the universe now means that the Beyblade movie is most likely going to be in it too.
