Well, a massive crossover reminds me of a post I made back in 2009 amalgamating what are now IDW crossovers. I forgot to include M.A.S.K., however, which is weird because it would have been a no-brainer.
I did tie in the Marvel superheroes, which crossed over with IDW Transformers way back when.

Anyways, It makes sense for IDW to try to shoehorn in as much Hasbro stuff as possible, it could either branch out into comic series where IDW already has a good relationship with the IP holder, or just plant some McGuffins for future use.
Still, it seems like the quick and short-lived execution might not have been the best way. I agree that starting off a fresh reality with the plan from the get-go would probably have been better.
edit:
for some reason the post I linked to is missing some of the stuff I remember, like "Oscorponok" with Norman Osborn in place of Zarak, and the O on the sign falling off the factory as it started to cause havok, and Asgardians in place of Nebulans. Might have to check my hard drive at some point.
Anyways, I linked to it because the comments in the thread about crossing various franchises together might still be valid regarding Revolution.
