The Transformers, GI Joe and Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers RPGs are unveiled at last. Come take a look at the new books, available for pre-order now.

Well the toypocalypse is here folks, Renegade Game Studios has unveiled their new Hasbro-licensed RPGs, giving us a glimpse into how Power Rangers, Transformers, and GI Joe will get adapted. These new games will all use the Essence 20 system, which is a unique, separate system from D&D 5E.

Which we mention only because the initial teasing of these titles last year (how was 2020 only a year ago) suggested they’d be using the 5E open gaming license rules.

As development went on, though, it became clear that these worlds needed a whole new system to play in. Which we got with Essence 20. It’s a d20 based system you can read more about here, but now let’s take a look at the new games.
