All the way back in June, rumors were going around that Hasbro and the folks at Skybound Entertainment were looking to break the latter's recent smash-hit Energon Universe out of the funny books and into the wide-reaching realm of adult animation.
Well today, as Deadline reports, those rumors have a bit of meat to them, after all.
The word is that they're soon going to be trying to shop around for someone interested in making an adult-oriented animated series out of the Robert Kirkman-helmed new take that combines the worlds of Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Skybound's own secret spice, Void Rivals. Joe Henderson, a producer and writer known for his work on Lucifer, Almost Human, and White Collar, is attached to the project as writer and showrunner. The goal is to make a series that's in line with another adult-oriented comic-to-cartoon adaptation that's proven successful, Kirkman's own Invincible.
With any luck, maybe that will mean we'll get some quality memes out of this one...
So, what do you think? Does this idea have you jazzed, or are you more worried about where it's going?

Joe comics from Skybound" thread in our forums, and share your hopes, dreams, concerns, and fears with other fans, just like yourself!
