Image Comics has dropped their solicits for December 2023, and it looks like Duke #1 is where the Transformers/GI Joe crossover is gonna start really kicking off for the Energon Universe.
I know the general reception to the crossover at the end of ROTB was pretty rough, so it's interesting that they're getting the ball rolling in a GI Joe mini-series.
Personally, my dad was drafted into two wars against his will and suffered greatly for it, so I never had any interest in GI Joe because my dad vehemently hated that shit, as he felt it glorified war to children and that this is morally unacceptable. (He preferred the depiction of Army life of that era in MASH, which he said was at least more honest and aimed at adults.)
I also had classmates who ended up joining the military who had been big fans of GI Joe, two of whom were killed in Afghanistan. I know GI Joe wasn't the only factor involved in their decisions, but it certainly does not make me inclined to like the franchise.
My mother lost her first husband in Vietnam. He had also been drafted against his will. (I strongly dislike the GI Joe Vietnam era material in particular, for perhaps obvious reasons.)
So, I admit my general dislike of the concept of GI Joe as a franchise is at least partly based in my own trauma (and that of my family) relating to the US Army.
I've never been a GI Joe person and never will be (on moral and trauma based grounds), so I fully admit I am not well versed on the lore of that universe, and as such, it's hard for me to make any guesses at what Duke #1 might bring.
But what interests me is that on certain forums and other social media, I've seen very limited audience hype about this crossover in general, especially from the Transformers crowd.
After the extremely progressive writing and fresh visual style and designs of the IDW Transformers storylines which appealed to a lot of people across several age ranges and generations of fans, it feels weird (to me at least) to suddenly have a more old school style crossover with what is essentially a US military propaganda franchise-- At a time when the sociopolitical zeitgeist is that "going traditional" is often associated with "going backwards".
All art is political, and so on.
But I do wonder if what seems to be a lack of audience hype is partially due to the fact that not a lot of Transformers fans (at least, not many under the age of 40 based on what I'm seeing around the internet at the moment) seem to be all that into GI Joe.
A lot of young people are not exactly in love with US military fantasies, and the last Transformers comic series with IDW was a big hit with younger/teen readers-- A lot of that audience might be lost, here.
(And vice-versa from what I can tell, although I'm not in any GI Joe fan spaces so I'm not sure what the mood might be in that community in regards to the Transformers element of this crossover.)
All that having been said, the Energon Universe is only just getting started, and who knows what the comics will actually contain!
I do like G1, so I like the designs for the Transformers as drawn in this run this far.
And who knows, maybe they'll do something new with GI Joe for this. I'm aware that in at least one of the cartoons, they were essentially on the run from the military instead of working for it, which is an interesting twist. Perhaps something similar might happen here, with some Joes siding with the Autobots instead?
It's not fair to judge before a comic is even released, so I'm just thinking out loud here in regards to the crossover concept in general.
I'd be interested to hear what anyone else thinks:
Will you be checking out Duke #1 as a Transformers fan interested in the crossover?
Have any of you been interested in GI Joe previously?
If you're an IDW Transformers fan, are you interested in the Energon Universe?
Any other thoughts on the crossover, any conjecture or hopes for the direction of this run?
I want to give the Energon Universe a chance, but as I mentioned, I do have some difficulty attempting to get into GI Joe in general.
That having been said, I guess we'll have to wait and see what they do with this crossover.

Can i request military whump with captivity? Thank you if yes(pls don't post if i'm off anon)
(tw: military-esque, kidnapping)
The last thing Whumpee knew before they fell asleep in their tent was that they were safe and far away from the enemy base. Their team was all there together, and the others were trading shifts for guarding the camp. Everything was fine.
When they were rudely awakened by a boot on their chest, they quickly realized that everything was not fine.
“Name and rank,” barked the voice from above. Whumpee squinted up to see the familiar uniform of an enemy general. They pushed aside their panic for a moment and stayed stoic like their own general had taught them.
“That’s none of your business,” Whumpee replied as confidently as they could with a heavy boot still weighing them down. They cringed when it was pressed down even further. The figure above them looked over their shoulder.
“Take this one in too. We need to find their general.”
Within a few seconds, Whumpee was lifted off the ground to be brought who knows where. Their mind raced—was the whole team being brought too? There were young and inexperienced members with them. They wouldn’t be able to handle enemy questioning. What was going to happen to everyone?
Whumpee opened their mouth to scream, but the enemies were faster. They were gagged and promptly knocked out before a word could escape. They saw a quick glimpse of their leader, tied up with all the others, before they fell unconscious.
(continued maybe)

She walked out in her form-fitting combat fatigues, fully aware of how the men on the battlefield perceived her. She shook her long hair and allowed her plate carrier to slip open, revealing her pert, luscious boobs. Her plate carrier held a small makeup kit with eighty mascaras and and one of those weird, floofy things women dab their faces with to spread stuff on them. It did not hold a tourniquet, a pressure bandage, Celox, magazines (well, except for a Cosmo), a grenade, or any other supplies. After all, why keep those out in the open, when women have more hiding places than men? Bending over in the way that drove men crazy, she withdrew an AK-47 from her vagina. I hope I don't have to get the rocket launcher out, she thought, as she pulled the trigger and began firing, fully automatic. The spent cases flew out of the rifle, landing in her cleavage. She sizzled.

I’m gonna be 21 next month. My cousin who’s a few months younger than me is a marine and he’s staying with us for the holiday weekend. We’re playing Risk and the way he’s acting has me so fucked up. I’m struggling not to cry as we finish the game, not because I’m upset, but because he is. It’s just a game, I’ve told him several times. It’s just a game, but he’s legitimately angry at me getting better dice rolls than him. He’s throwing a hissy fit over a fucking board game, even as he’s beating me. He’s such a poor sport about it and it breaks my fucking heart.
He wanted to join the military so he could shoot people. He might’ve been exaggerating when he said this but those are his words and there was a considerable amount of weight behind them. Even years ago, I can’t forget that conversation (I’m still not sure if I want to). He’s so disgustingly emotionally underdeveloped it makes me sick. He’s an adult, don’t get me wrong, but he’s still a kid. He’s so susceptible to propaganda that he’s sold his first few years of adulthood to the state for the fun of it. It’s fucking horrifying. I love my cousin but I am terrified of what the state has done, is doing, and will do to him. Whatever he sees and does in the next couple years is going to fuck him over so badly and I’m furious. I’m so mad. I love this guy, but I’m scared for him, I’m scared of him. He deserves better, and so does anyone and everyone else. I’m so heartbroken and angry.

hello if you enjoy my content! I am going on hiatus until further notice, this post will explain why!
⚠ everything below the ‘read more’ is not suitable for kiddos! please do not continue if your not in the right headspace! ^^ ⚠
I have enlisted in the army, and will be going off to Basic Training soon! I will make an announcement post when I return with a small update, and then my regular posting will continue. Thank you for your time and patience! I'll post the last of my ongoing request, and then I'll be done. While asks can still be sent in, I won't be reading, working on, or interacting with them until I'm back and ready to continue writing! I may be able to queue some things before I leave, just for activities' sake, but that is all sadly. Thank you for your time!!
my requests are closed until further notice/until I return! sorry :,)

Tell me more about what you think abo Leo Kasper being related to Gary Smith-
OKAY OKAY
For one, they both act alike and LOOK alike and in this manhunt/bully Au that’s good enough-
I’ll say they have like a 4 to 5 age difference.
Leo being a rich kid also makes PERFECT sense. Imagine this, their parents get tired of the eldest son for starting to defy them (teenage rebellion), so they send him to a hardest military school money can buy where eventually he becomes the best at EVERYTHING gaining the attention of the government. You can guess what happens next…
And poor old Gary who never sees his brother after he packs up for military school. Gary being the youngest while normally given everything but Gary’s case is just entirely forgotten to hear about how the government wants THEIR other son.
As for their relationship, they had rivalry, but they did love each other. Leo enjoyed teasing Gary, Gary also enjoyed tormenting and annoying their older brother but they did have their moments together playing video games and talking about the gossip at their respective schools.
