Devil's Due Publishing experienced success with their revived "G.I Joe" series under license by Hasbro. Both companies produced their own six-issue mini-series detailing a crossover between the two with permission from Hasbro, but Dreamwave had the exclusive license to produce "Transformers" comics, while Devil's Due had the exclusive license to "G.I. Joe"; hence the two different miniseries from both companies with two different ideas behind each company's respective franchise. A second series followed in late 2004, followed by a third in 2005, and a fourth in 2006.
