The long-anticipated Transformers and G.I. Joe crossover movie is officially in the works. Following the ending of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, which teased a connection between the two franchises, the project has gained momentum with Derek Connolly, known for Jurassic World, penning the script. Though many details are still being worked out, this crossover promises to bring together some of the most iconic characters from both franchises in live-action for the first time.
When Will the Transformers and G.I. Joe Crossover Happen?
The next live-action Transformers movie will be a crossover with G.I. Joe. This has been confirmed by producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who revealed that the crossover will follow the success of Transformers One, an animated origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron. While Transformers One focuses on Cybertron and its robots, the live-action crossover will merge the worlds of both franchises, bringing characters like Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and the G.I. Joe agents together.
Though the release date for the crossover hasn’t been set, it’s clear that the development process is underway. The success of Transformers One, which releases on September 20, will play a role in determining the timeline for the crossover. If it performs well at the box office, it could fast-track the next live-action film featuring the G.I. Joe team.

The team is carefully developing a story that allows both the robots and human characters to shine, focusing on their individual motivations and goals.
