The Hasbro Comic Universe note or Revolution Universe is the Shared Universe of (most of) IDW Publishing's Hasbro-licensed comics, debuting with the release of the Revolution miniseries in 2016. Through Canon Welding of the previously unrelated IDW Transformers: Generation 1 and G.I. Joe series (and to a far lesser extent, Jem and the Holograms and Clue), and the introduction of ROM, Micronauts, Action Man and M.A.S.K. to the universe, these disparate franchises have been formed into a single shared universe. In addition to comics, it also includes... the Pound Puppies animated series (yes, it's true).Despite its obvious similarities to the planned Hasbro Cinematic Universe, the comic universe is actually completely unrelated, as IDW was unaware of the movie plans before they pitched the concept to Hasbro. Major differences from the movies include the presence of Transformers (as their own film franchise is continuing), Jem and Action Man.Comic series taking place in the Hasbro Comic Universe, by franchise: | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Hasbro Comic Universe (Comic Book) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Most of the series have a significantly greater degree of violence and more mature storytelling than their predecessors, though the original Rom Spaceknight and Micronauts comics didn't shy away from either. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Hasbro Comic Universe (Comic Book) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Quite a few storylines were left hanging from Simon Furman's run on The Transformers, as well as within other authors' series. Several plot points have been picked up by later authors, however, particularly by John Barber. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Hasbro Comic Universe (Comic Book) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Most humans tend not to like Transformers, on account of the Decepticon invasion. In fact, most species everywhere tend to dislike Cybertronians for pretty much the same reason. | |

| Hasbro Comic Universe (Comic Book) / int_5b351f0d | comment |
Intercontinuity Crossover: New Avengers/Transformers. Infestation is also this, though it's more of a Cross Through; confusingly, it's less "intercontinuity" than it was originally intended to be, due to the combination of the IDW Transformers and G.I. Joe universes. | |

Adaptation Personality Change | |
| Hasbro Comic Universe (Comic Book) / int_6fbe85e6 | comment |
Adaptation Personality Change: All over the place, as is standard for an Ultimate Universe approach; it often involves making characters more violent or darker. Special mention goes to Thundercracker, who is actually an aversion - he's an example of the personality traits from the character's original bio being used for the first time in fiction, ever (of course, Bob Budiansky's Thundercracker probably wasn't obsessed with becoming a sitcom writer...) Pharoid, Acroyear and Biotron are only really similar to their Marvel counterparts appearance-wise, as their personalities and backstories belong to Marvel (especially that the original Acroyear might be Star-Lord's father). | |

Doing In the Wizard: While Transformers involves many fantastical elements, they're generally described pseudo-scientifically. The Dire Wraiths, on the other hand, are explicitly alien magic users. | |

| Hasbro Comic Universe (Comic Book) / int_979f41a | comment |
Continuity Reboot: Downplayed with Transformers and G.I. Joe, which both had continuations of their original series and versions in other media despite the creation of a new universe for both. Played straight with Jem, M.A.S.K. and Action Man, and particularly ROM and Micronauts, which were best-known for their Marvel comic series. | |
