5 Reasons the Inhumanoids Should Cross Over With the Transformers

(Don't say I didn't warn you.)

5. The two franchises clearly exist in the same multiverse.

Aside from the obvious fact that both properties belong to Hasbro, they do have some concrete connections. First, the Inhumanoids character Sabre Jet would seem to be either the same person (or an alternate reality version of the same person) as the GIJoe character Ace-while this isn't a direct connection, GIJoe clearly exists in the same overall multiverse as Transformers, and so the Inhumanoids must as well. Second, the Shattered Glass continuity of Transformers coexists with an Earth that has "metal monsters" from the Earth's core. In effect? Inhumanoids. ("Metal monster" is an exceedingly accurate description for Metlar, the primary villain-Metlar's sole weakness is to magnetism.)

4. Because Hasbro can totally get away with it.

Do I really need to elaborate?

3. It's a logical reason to use the monster-like Decepticon Pretenders.

Either these Pretender shells would be cloned from Inhumanoid tissues, or...

Open scene. Metlar, with a motley crew of various monsters, is standing there surveying the situation. He is holding some kind of MacGuffin-er, new weapon or tool, which he hopes will grant him an edge in the coming episode-er, conflict.

Metlar: Finally, we will be able to conquer the cursed Earth Corps and those Autobots with this, my new...

Metlar trails off as he spots a few troops who strike him as odd-looking. They are the Decepticons Bomb-Burst, Bugly, and Skullgrin, disguised in Pretender shells.

He looks confused. They try to look as innocent as possible.

Metlar: Who the slag are you?
Skullgrin: We your troops.
Metlar: ...

Metlar: Eh, whatever.

It's ironic to note that the Autobot Pretenders actually have a certain resemblance to Earth Corps figures.

2. You know who else would be perfect for a crossover like this? Brushguard.

He'd probably chase Tendril and the Redwood guys around trying to get samples.

1. Because it would be awesome, man.

If nothing else, it would, as my sister suggests, be a second legitimate reason for crazy groups like the Rapid Anti-Transformer Assault... er, whatever they're called, but yeah, special anti-Transformer task forces would have more of a job if the Inhumanoids were there to deal with too, and Sis also wants to see Megatron and Metlar go toe to toe sometime.

I'm seriously going to keep going with the Inhumanoids Stuff Week thing tomorrow, unless there's some reason that I don't. I... hey, get back here!

-Signing off.
