So Hasbro keeps trying to do a shared universe, with the Energon Universe being their most successful effort to date. But I think a Mattel Universe has just as much potential. I made a picture to help map my thoughts.>"Humans" are a race found on numerous planets throughout the galaxy. They are an ancient, often nomadic race whose origins are forgotten across eons and the vastness of space. There are many cases of humans colonizing a planet and forgetting over the generations that the planet was not their homeworld. An variant of human can visit a planet, find a "gone native" seed of humanity already living there, and have no idea that their races are actually distantly related.>The star system of Eternia and Etheria is home to a seed of humanity in addition to its other races. Humans spread from Eternia to Etheria, pushing The First Ones underground.>Hordak's Horde is an intergalactic threat along with the Monster Minds from Jayce & The Wheeled Warriors, they are enemies of each other but between them have consumed thousands of worlds.>Humanity first came to Earth when the war between the Valorians and Rulons was staged there in Prehistoric times. Modern humans are the descendants of Valorians who may have bred with Cro-Magnons.>The Dino Vengers and Raptors from Extreme Dinosaurs also originate from this conflict. Argor Zardok is a Quadrainian who came to Earth and sided with the Rulons in the conflict.>In modern day Earth Max Steel is a secret agent trained by Big Jim, a living legend and huge motherfucker, like 6'10, who has "done it all".>Street Sharks are doing their own thing fighting Paradigm and the Seaviates>I don't know anything about Pulsar and Hypnos but they look crazy
>>1533812182/2>Monster High is a secret from the rest of the modern world and is neutral in conflicts. Likewise with the fantasy realms. >However Mighty Max's Cosmic Cap allows him to travel to different realms, forward and backward in time, and across the stars, making him the only living human to learn the whole picture of Earth's place in the universe.
The thing about Energon is that it can be explained simply."Transformers have come to earth, and GI Joe must try to cope with this situation."
>>153381513I guess so, you could reveal the deeper lore of how these things are related piecemeal. If it gets me Dino Riders and Wheeled Warriors comics I'm good with whatever.
>>153381218If you're going full autism your diagram should connect and group how the villains and heroes will interact, which (no doubt temporary) alliances will form between factions, and how they will deploy their forces across the major theaters.
