I wouldn't be amazed to learn that some Transformers fan would not like a GI Joe movie simply because it's GI Joe.



I doubt Transformers fans even care about G.I.Joe.

G.I. Joe is a toyline that has spent 10 of the last 12 years struggling to be more than a novelty line for a bunch of h/c collectors. The 25th brought a lot of dudes into it but it still didn't sell like a real line (TF/Star Wars) The reason people had trouble finding waves wasn't because they were selling like hotcakes, but because Hasbro knew if they sent out a lot it'd be Indian Joes and you could get wave 5 for .99 a peice
