I doubt it, but not fully because of the reasons that you'd think.
If Hasbro would have made a unified continuity with all of their action franchise, including Power Rangers & VR Troopers, they have to get some leeway with Takara Tomy, the company that owns the underlying elements of Transformers.

Will Hasbro ever fully integrate their PR and VR Troopers into the greater Hasbro lore?

I wasn't really a tape collector. I usually made my own tapes from old TV recordings. I still have a few of my old VHS recordings from the past, but I don't have a proper VCR these days.
As for video tapes, I think Disney was pretty top-shelf. They felt special, and the presentation was stellar.

What kinds of video tapes do you use to collect? And what companies had the best home video libraries out there?

I kept seeing people refer to "Zootropolis 2" and I assumed it was just an extremely soft joke doing a little play on the name "Zootopia 2".
Turns out that's just what it's called outside the US.

'Zootopia' Adopted the Title 'Zootropolis' in Various International Regions
Disney changed the title of 'Zootopia' to 'Zootropolis' to give the film a distinctive name that would resonate effectively with audiences worldwide.

Tubi is a near perfect simulation of the feeling of watching the 3am movie on your area's fourth-rated local TV station.
For this alone it is the greatest streaming service that has ever been or will ever be.

I'm also just now learning that Saban and Fox Kids were, at some point, originally going to produce a dub of SLAYERS for American kids, but backed out when they realized how much editing they'd have to do?! There's a universe where that happened and meanwhile 4Kids didn't dub One Piece.

Going through a list of series that Saban Entertainment distributed and localized for American audiences, and also looking at when said licenses did/didn't expire and I'm just like "Haim Saban, how much damage have you done to so many series' distribution rights...?"

how many of us remember EVERY social media account we've made in the last 5 years? Even the throwaways, the joke ones, the obscure sites we don't even remember? This will be forcing millions to lie in their visa applications -- which is grounds for deportation.

I honestly feel that a few shows should have gotten some love on Toonami but didn't because of certain limitations, they were completely out of reach, or because the block creators didn't like them:
Bionic Six
TMNT '87
Exo Squad
Gargoyles
Mighty Max
War Planets/Shadow Raiders

Name 4 or 5 shows between the 80s and 00s that never got the Toonami touch.

Oh, I absolutely knew that, which is why I said "completely out of reach."
But I would have never said 0% realistic chance.
10-20%, maybe.
But I should remind you around 1997-98, it was on the USA Network's Action Extreme Team block, so it COULD have had a small, teeny-tiny chance back then.

Gargoyles is the one that had 0 realistic chance, since Disney ain't letting any of their shows go

I’m a say the quiet part.
99% of those hauls were returned promptly.
99% of those boxes and bags were just that.
And folks fell for it.
Those influencers built careers off lies.

Personally, I’m delighted. “Influencer” isn’t an actual career. Constantly buying stuff to convince other ppl to buy that stuff isn’t marketing. Constant acquisition isn’t a hobby or a lifestyle.
