Besides Visionaries not being a huge hit, and therefore not stoking the nostalgia flames like the other toy franchises, they are a complete outlier in terms of genre. GI Joe, Micronauts, ROM, MASK -- those were all tech-based sci-fi genres, whereas Visionaries was a magic-oriented line. I just remember the toys were not particularly interesting. I remember it as basically being He-Man figures with a hologram gimmick.

Ohhh, let's see how many obscure 80s toy brands we can resurrect for this one. Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future? Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors? Robotix? Silverhawks? Maxx Steele and Robo Force??

Who is the market for a movie based on M.A.S.K?

Who is the market for a movie based on M.A.S.K? I'd be interested depending on details. From what I remember the series itself had very little backstory beyond "tech-masks that give superpowers" and "vehicles that transform into other vehicles." A decent creative team can do a lot with that. |

Maxx Steele and Robo Force?? Jace and the Wheeled Warriors and Silverhawks both rocked my childhood, but man, Silverhawks never made any damn sense as a premise and would have to be completely changed worse than what was done to Jem and the Holograms in order to make it into a comprehensible feature film. Wheeled Warriors, though -- that could really work. Have the bad guys appeal to a Monster Truck fanbase whereas the Wheeled Warriors could have more of a sci-fi NASCAR feel and BAM you're tapping into that some demographic that made Pixar's Cars a much bigger sensation than it had any right to be. |

Wasn't Silverhawks just cyborg cops in space as a premise? Also not that complicated.

Well why they were in space, why they were cybernetically enhanced to fly through the vacuum of space, who they were fighting...none of this would make any sense to an audience with any intellect whatsoever, so the whole thing would have to be revamped. |

Why were they in space? Because the space criminals were there. Why were they cybernatically enhanced to fly through the vacuum of space? To catch the space criminals. Who were they fighting? Space criminals. |

I'd laugh it is really one giant sandbox world literally, Toy Story style, and all the toys are in the sandbox and the plot is what the kids playing come up with using the toys like kids did years ago (or at least the kids I played with). You know here comes the evil Baron Karza and a Silverhawk and Snakeyes are teaming up to take him on riding Biotron into the fight when Karza summons his giant transforming robot truck army to fight them...
