and
Marvel Productions
developed the series

,
The Transformers
,
Jem
and
Inhumanoids
. These series had been hinted to share the same universe, mostly due to the appearance of the character named Hector Ramirez.
- On March 28, 2013, producer
Lorenzo di Bonaventura
announced that he is open to doing a crossover film between the
Transformers
and

film series (

has stated that when he was in talks to be

Transformers
films.
[14]
In the film
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
, there is a mention of G.I. Joe recruiting Noah Diaz.
- On December 15, 2015, Hasbro agreed with Paramount to a deal creating a five-property movie universe by then financing unit

development hell
.
