Via a number of sources, but traced back to movie dedicated website Deadline, there are reports coming in of a new batch of script writers for the expanded Transformers cinematic universe (under Paramount's aegis). Standing out from the reports is the presumed involvement of The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, Pacific Rim's Zak Penn, Iron Man's Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Lost's Jeff Pinkner. That's quite the bunch right there - but what do you make of the announcement? Let us know in the Energon Pub!

EXCLUSIVE: Two months after Paramount and the Transformers brain trust of Michael Bay, Steven Spielberg and Lorenzo di Bonaventura picked Akiva Goldsman to incubate ideas for a multi-part sequel and spinoff films based on the billion-dollar franchise, they have finalized their “writers room.” And it’s a doozy.

Goldsman’s four-team roster features some of the top names in sci-fi, I’ve learned: Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, Iron Man scribes Art Marcum & Matt Holloway, Pacific Rim 2‘s Zak Penn and Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Lost‘s Jeff Pinkner. I’m hearing the ink isn’t even dry on the deals, but that is a major-league lineup to join Goldsman, who is spearheading it all for the studio, Hasbro, Spielberg and Bay (Bay and Goldsman were college buddies at Wesleyan). More writers will be added.

This is a major priority for new Motion Picture Group President Marc Evans, who’s tasked with getting more movies made. It marks an intriguing new step as studios put even more of a premium on the care and feeding of tentpole franchises, as is the case with James Cameron’s Avatar sequels and Disney’s process for developing its Marvel tentpoles.

That might be the most exciting Transformers movie news I've heard in quite a while. That's quite a roster of people already familiar with large groups of characters. Very excited about Walking Dead's Kirkman (though he can leave killing fan-favorite characters at the doorstep).

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.

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.

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.

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).

At least that second pic was a very brief scene that came and went like nothing in its movie, compared to the first three TF movies constantly trying to compete with Bond movie levels of eye candy.

Not arguing that that second pic's scene was acceptable, mind you, but rather that it only took up 1% of the movie, whereas the eye candy of the first three movies was way more than that amount.

Doesn't change the fact that it was completely unnecessary. I remember watching that Star Trek and just... being ashamed at that part. At least in Transformers it... kinda serves a purpose. To be honest, the purpose itself is unnecessary, but at least it makes sense in context. I don't exactly remember in what context that scene in Star Trek was used, but I remember it being there for absolutely no reason.

Just so it's clear, you do know who that character was and her connection to Kirk in previous Star Trek media, right? If not, then go watch Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (wonderful movie, btw).

I agree that it was in poor taste, but if I was forced to pick between two evils, I'd rather have a movie with only 1% of unnecessary shame than a movie that has unnecessary shame written all over it (lookin' at you, ROTF *shakes fist*).

Well according to some.....If Michael Bay is still in charge......it won't matter who else they'll hire or get to produce or write for it.....coz Bay will still shape & fashion it to his own design.....just like he did with the previous films. We can but hope that he ISN'T in charge......then we may get a different & possibly better style of films.

From the same source as the last big piece of news for the Paramount Transformers franchise, Deadline, we have a very rumorous rumour, and please take it as such until there is any confirmation whatsoever. It appears that the current writers (post-Edgar Wright) for Marvel's upcoming Ant-Man movie, Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari, have joined the writers' room for the expanded universe - and may be behind a prequel project by the name of Transformers One - set on Cybertron. Read more here or below, and sound off your speculations on this hearsay piece of information!

Andrew Barrer & Gabriel Ferrari, who spent half a year doing the production rewriting on Marvel’s Ant-Man, have become the latest to join the Writer’s Room that Paramount Pictures and director Michael Bay have organized to hatch sequels, prequels and spinoffs on their billion dollar Transformers franchise. I’m hearing that one of the ideas in the works has a working title of Transformers One, and that it is more or less an origins story that takes place on Cybertron, the planet where the good guy and bad guy robots hail from. Those talks originated with rights holder Hasbro. I’d also heard that this might be an animated feature, but that Barrer & Ferrari are also going to the writer’s room with the expectation they’ll write a live action Transformers movie, as well. Paramount insiders said that they haven’t gotten that far on the specific projects, but I am told this is the plan. A Cybertron movie sounds like fertile ground for a feature, to me.

Well if it's set on Cybertron and features no actual actors, yeah, it's basically an animated film either way.
