nothing for the moment since the deal won't be fully closed until later on and in the case of Morphicon absolutely nothing although they might do away with cast reveals at Morphicon but they don't own the con so they have no say in whether it continues or not that's up to Morphicon's current owner

don't be ridiculous he sold his property to Hasbro for a reason he likely wants to retire but is willing to stay on to help teach them the ropes.

We are lucky Disney was even willing to sell to Saban in the first place. Its unlikely this happens with Hasbro. Who aren't buying pr by accident and the show's toyline is related to a core part of its business! PR just didn't fit in Disney's profile at the time. Lets not forget that when Disney bought the franchise, they didn't own Marvel or Lucasfilm.

dunno about the comics probably depends on what they think and what their deal is but in the case of HyperForce I think there's slightly better odds with them renewing that
