* WhatCouldHaveBeen: This isn't the first time Hasbro's tried to create a MegaCrossover in comic book form between their franchises. Back in 2011, they had ''Unit:E'', in the form of a [[http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/4045467.html?thread=134351003&s2id=92546 special one-off comic]] created by "Haslab", Hasbro's experimental wing. The issue centered around a teenager descended from Acroyear of ''Toys/{{Micronauts}}'', accompanied by Biotron (also from ''Micronauts'') and [[WesternAnimation/JemAndTheHolograms Synergy]] (here an alien AI). Synergy and Biotron show the teen heroes from around the universe; these included reboots of ''M.A.S.K.'' (a DarkerAndEdgier take, with cop Matt Trakker and other civil servants fighting to protect a war-torn UsefulNotes/{{Detroit}} with technology gleaned from the "League of Ancient Wheelmen"), ''WesternAnimation/{{Inhumanoids}}'' (as ''Primordia''), ''Stretch Armstrong'' (now with his own team titled the "Flex Force"- this concept later evolved into ''WesternAnimation/StretchArmstrongAndTheFlexFighters''), ''[[TabletopGame/{{Battleship}} Battleship Galaxies]]'', ''[[SpellMyNameWithAThe The]] Franchise/ActionMan'' (an elusive, memory-inheriting secret agent {each Action Man somehow carries the skills and knowledge of the previous ones}; Dr. X was the previous AM who "went rogue", forcing the current one to be "activated earlier than intended"), ''Jem'' was to have composed the "Music of the Spheres" (presumably with Synergy's assistance), and the Micronauts had a double page spread. The look-in at all the heroes also had a dwarf and Drizzt Do'Urden from ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' / ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms'', a random ''TabletopGame/{{Kaijudo}}'' monster, Jake Rockwell from ''WesternAnimation/{{Centurions}}'', plus G.I. Joe and the Transformers; the teen also briefly mentions the Solstar Order, possibly hinting at Rom's inclusion. Unit:E itself is mentioned as a shadowy group who operate out of the "Phase Station Skybolt" (an updated rendition of the Space Station Sky Vault from ''WesternAnimation/{{Centurions}}''), and even '''TabletopGame/CandyLand''' was to be a part of it. By the end, the teen dons the armor as the new Acroyear, and it ends there. [[http://www.oafe.net/blog/2015/10/soon-forget-what-was-unite/ As it turns out]], it was supposed to be launched off the end of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'', as Agent Fowler apparently worked for them (the "M.A.S.K. division" was mentioned as having created a vehicle at one point); but due to the incredibly TroubledProduction of that series, it didn't happen. However, Hasbro apparently approached IDW with the idea.

** With respect to the ''ComicBook/{{Micronauts}}'', we won't be seeing Commander Arcturus Rann, Princess Mari (Marionette), Bug, the Microverse, or the Enigma Force. Those characters and concepts are owned by Marvel who, inversely, can no longer use any of the toy based characters such as Acroyear, Baron Karza, Biotron or even the name ''Micronauts''.

* ExiledFromContinuity: Since this is a major action-oriented mini-series set to create a SharedUniverse, don't expect the female-oriented series such as ''Jem and the Holograms'' and ''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'' to be involved in this, though Jem itself will be a part of the resulting shared universe (even though ''Jem'''s writers have said it isn't- so for now that title seems to be stuck in limbo). Larry Hama's continuation of ''G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero'' is also unaffected by this.

However, Hasbro apparently approached IDW with the idea.

* ExiledFromContinuity: Since this is a major action-oriented mini-series set to create a SharedUniverse, don't expect the female-oriented series such as ''Jem and the Holograms'' and ''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'' to be involved in this, though Jem itself will be a part of the resulting shared universe. As well, Larry Hama's continuation of ''G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero'' is also unaffected by this.

** With respect to the ''{{Micronauts}}'', we won't be seeing Commander Arcturus Rann, Princess Mari (Marionette), Bug, the Microverse, or the Enigma Force. Those characters and concepts are owned by Marvel who, inversely, can no longer use the name ''Micronauts''.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: This isn't the first time Hasbro's tried to create a MegaCrossover in comic book form between their franchises. Back in 2011, they had ''Unit:E'', in the form of a [[http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/4045467.html?thread=134351003&s2id=92546 special one-off comic]] created by "Haslab", Hasbro's experimental wing. The issue centered around a teenager descended from Acroyear of ''Franchise/{{Micronauts}}'', accompanied by Biotron (also from ''Micronauts'') and [[WesternAnimation/JemAndTheHolograms Synergy]]. Synergy and Biotron show the teen heroes from around the universe; these included reboots of ''M.A.S.K.'' (which seems to have been [[CompositeCharacter roughly merged with]] ''WesternAnimation/{{COPS}}''), ''WesternAnimation/{{Inhumanoids}}'' (as ''Primordia''), ''Stretch Armstrong'' (now a superhero, with his own team titled the "Flex Force"), ''[[TabletopGame/{{Battleship}} Battleship Galaxies]]'', another version of ''Action Man'' (the whole "lineage of previous Action Men" concept is here, but not as an agent of the UK; rather, he's an independent agent, and Dr. X was the previous AM who "went rogue", forcing the current one to be "activated earlier than intended"; each Action Man carries the skills and knowledge of the previous ones), ''Jem'' was to have composed the "Music of the Spheres" (presumably with Synergy's assistance), and the Micronauts had a double page spread. The look-in at all the heroes also had a dwarf and Drizzt Do'Urden from ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', a random ''TabletopGame/{{Kaijudo}}'' monster, Jake Rockwell from ''WesternAnimation/{{Centurions}}'', plus G.I. Joe and the Transformers; the teen also briefly mentions the Solstar Order, possibly hinting at Rom's inclusion. Unit:E itself is mentioned as a shadowy group who operate out of the "Phase Station Skybolt" (an updated rendition of the Space Station Sky Vault from ''WesternAnimation/{{Centurions}}''), and even '''TabletopGame/CandyLand''' was to be a part of it. By the end, the teen is revealed as the new Acroyear, and it ends there.

[[http://www.oafe.net/blog/2015/10/soon-forget-what-was-unite/ As it turns out]], it was supposed to be launched off the end of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'', as Agent Fowler apparently worked for them (the "M.A.S.K. division" was mentioned as having created a vehicle at one point); but due to the incredibly TroubledProduction of that series, it didn't happen. However, Hasbro apparently approached IDW with the idea.
