Robert's TWD episodes are the worst in the series, Pacific Rim was braindead, and TASM2 was awful... I don't expect these will be any better that ROTF. Keep in mind the guy who wrote The Ring wrote DOTM and AOE. I thought The Ring was a great movie

I'll be interested to see if they can expand story lines that revolve around the robots. To me that is the downfall of the current movies. Humans are not the main characters.

-ahem- But yeah, if Rob can get us an actual story, let alone an actual story about the robots that this series is named for, all the better.

Think it's positive news on the newer writers. Thought the original writers wrote terrible Tranformers movies.
Now all they need to do is get rid of Micheal bay.

By whose standards? I just looked at the reception for all the episodes he wrote, and all but one was critically praised.

I read this and immediately two things popped into my head...
1) Optimus running around asking where Bumblebee is and why he isn't in the Arc.
2) An IDW influenced Arcee played/voiced by none other than Carol actress herself, Melissa McBride which just screams complete bad ass to me.
That all aside, it's hard not to take this as great news. Take Kirkmen's Walking Dead influenced character development/story telling and add it to Zak Penn's Pacific Rim's action and it's hard to think we wouldn't end up with a Transformers movie where the (lack of) plot doesn't make your head hurt all the while robot fighting scenes that the viewer can actually follow.

Transformers: Mikeala's Quest
Transformers: Mikeala's Quest Continues in The Hunt for Carly
Transformers: Brazos Wars

At this point, I have zero expectations from movie fiction, when AoE was coming, I expressed my concerns and lack of faith, but still said that I hoped they would make me eat my words, but I've given up, 8 years of wanting a good movie have been too much for me.
I just hope we get good toys out of this.

I can never forgive Akiva Goldsman for writing the atrocity that was Batman and Robin. Teaming him with Michael Bay is anything but good.

Didn't Bay say he was going to go the George Lucas route and produce but not direct from here on out? I may be wrong, or he may have backtracked.

Who actually writes the spin-offs doesn't concern me at this point. What does concern me is that no one on this planet could write a good story if it has to be any sort of continuation of the atrocity that was Age of Extinction.
If they did a complete reboot first, then I might care about some of the awful writers they've chosen. In my opinion, Batman & Robin is one of the worst movies ever made (it ties with Age of Extinction and Battlefield Earth).
