Both had really cool box art, both made by Hasbro, both had extensive "libraries" of figures and add ons, and both had really popular TV series and animated films. Both had some really really cool characters.

But the Transformers modern movies are a billion dollar franchise, while the GI Joe attempts are lol.

Why is this?

Because libs didn't want kids thinking guns and the military were cool even though they shot faggy lasers rhat wasn't enough for libs. Actually in the early 90s they made new GI Joes that fought pollution (White Business Men dumping toxic waste) https://www.yojoe.com/action/subteams/ecowarriorsjoe.shtml

You had Shia LaBeouf who is a charming goof, a heartwarming story of a boy and his first car, and a hot chick who inexplicably wants to fuck him. GI Joe is the Rock and Channing Tatum making shitty jokes to each other.

Will be interesting when drones begin policing and harassing and killing normal people in daily life. The Transformers may go the way of GI Joe at that point
