Peter David to write Transformers DOTM novelization!

Peter david? The Start trek writer?

that will mean that many star trek fans are gonna read transformers....

Now here's an incredible comic book writer that I'd personally love to see write a few Transformers comic books.

I'm not familiar with any of Peter Davids other works as far as novels go and I am quite certain that he is a splendid writer otherwise Del-Rey would not have asked him to take on this task. HOWEVER, I am a creature of habit and VERY particular when it comes to reading books in a series. Once I have gotten used to a particular style set by a particular author, in my mind it is something that absolutely should not be screwed with until the series is completed. Only exception being if the author dies before completion as was/is the case with Robert Jordan and his "Wheel of Time" series. I haven't heard anything about Foster having passed on recently so this is going to be a case where I will be extremely hyper-critical of the TF:DOTM novelization. Anything else Transformer related I can be easy-going about but when it comes to books, I'm stubborn and ruthless.

I used to love his Spiderman 2099. Wasn't he also involved with Babylon 5, my alltime favourite Sci Fi series?

I believe he also wrote the novellisation of Batman Forever, and brought it down to earth. made it more palatable.

Now if only he was actually writing the Transformers films rather than adapting.

Dont forget Peter David`s work in the Incredible Hulk and Spider-Man comics.

Simon Furman should be writing the movies, he's written for every continuity through the years, he knows what characters work, what won't, and he can write real dialogue, as opposed to 'gags' or 'innuendo'. He'd PROBABLY throw his mate Galvatron on at some point too
