D&D 5E Transformers: Is This The Next Setting After Ravnica?

After the successful sale of 100 billion copies of Guildmasters' Guide to Ravnica, Wizards of the Coast employees Tweeted a mysterious teaser text on the official Twitter account: "Roll Out". Millions of sages within the DnD community immediately took to social media discussing the possible implications of the Tweet. After several days of hot, sweaty debate, a user on Reddit posted another Amazon leak, revealing what appears to be the next setting book for Dungeons and Dragons...Transformers' Guide to Cybertron.

So what's Transformers? It's a popular brand co-owned by the megalithic Hasbro toy company, to which Wizards of the Coast is a subsidiary of, and the Japanese toy company Takara Tomy. Transformers has spawned a vast host of animated projects, merchandise lines, Hollywood films, and pop culture memes since its debut in 1984 as a line of toys.

Dodge laser bolts and traverse sprawling highways on an alien world of cybernetic life forms and techno-mechanical landscapes in this campaign setting for the world's greatest roleplaying game.

The dawn of a new age is approaching the towers of Cybertron. Desperate for a path to victory, the two leading factions of a living machine race struggle against each other for dominance and survival. Their conflict has spanned millions of years and grudges run deep within their very cores. Rumors abound of new threats to the precarious balance of attrition that has prevented either side from gaining a permanent advantage over the other. Prophecies of old are coming true, and revelations of past, present, and future are causing many to wonder whether peace or extinction will soon come to their world.

Here's hoping that we'll finally see what really happened to Meepo after he fell into a portal leading to the Chamber of Vector Sigma.

As long as it is not the My Little Pony setting. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Again, if any Hasbro property is going to be adapted, it will be something with fantasy and magic.
Such as: Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light

There's already a MLP RPG.

Personally, Hasbro should have released a G.I. Joe RPG a long time ago.

Don't forget the duct tape, in case one of your friends' head explodes.

I could actually see a GI Joe d20 game, done along the basic lines of d20 Modern, with the crazy Spy-Fi elements of the property in the place of D&D magic and Branch in place of Race as the foundational piece of character building.

Twilight 2000 without the nuclear fallout/third world war could be used for GI Joe. I miss Twilight
