Transformers 2 Writers Confirmed, Digital Pre-Visualisation of TFs Already Underway!

According to this article from the LA Times, the trio of writers who were previously in-talks to write Transformers 2, the sequel to this summer's blockbuster Transformers movie, have now signed on for the second film, a deal that could reportedly pay out more than 8 million dollars.
Also interesting to note that the article mentions the fact that director Michael Bay has already begun 'pooling together' digital pre-visualisations of Transformers that didn't make it into the first film, allowing the production of the film to continue in case of any work stoppage due to impending strikes in Hollywood.

Just the same, the three writers are already pooling their ideas to nail down the detailed story line while Bay has begun pulling together some digital pre-visualization robot designs that didn't make it into the first film. An added benefit lost on no one is that with a CGI-heavy film like this, the preliminary work provides an effective cushion if the writers (or directors and actors next summer) do strike -- effects crews can work ahead and compile action sequences during any stoppage.
