Transformers Sign Deals With Walking Dead, Pacific-Rim, Iron Man, and LOST Writers for New Spinoffs & Sequels

Deadline Hollywood report, following the new of Akiva Goldsman joining the fold to take Transformers into an Expanded Universe. We have news Paramount have just signed deals with "Walking Dead" Writer Robert Kirkman, "Iron Man" writers Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, "Pacific Rim 2" Zak Penn, and writer Jeff Pinkner of "Amazing Spider-Man 2" and
"Lost" This is major news for the Transformers, as it will clearly open up the franchise to many new ideas from established writers. Read on for more details.

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.

According to Motion Picture Group President Marc Evans, the studio has placed a "premium" won what they are calling a "tentpole franchises." No doubt, their mad-dash to catch up with Disney's hard and heavy roll-out of their Marvel and newly acquired Star Wars franchises. We can only hope that all that talent will be left free to roam.

SO THE ROAD TO THE TRANSFORMERS CINEMATIC UNIVERSE BEGINS....I WONDER WHICH PROPERTIES WOULD BE MERGED BY HASBRO.

I SEE FIVE MAINLY OPTIONS WITH CAMEOS BY SEVERAL OTHERS...

1.- TRANSFORMERS: THE TOP OF THE HASBRO PROPERTIES WILL DOMINATE THE CINEMATIC LANDSCAPE.

2.- G.I.JOE: THE MOST OBVIOUS CROSSOVER WITH THE FRANCHISE, AS IN THE COMICS HAS BEEN FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND STORYLINES.

3.- M.A.S.K.: THE NEWCOMER. A FORMER GIJOE MEMBER WHO IS ASSIGNED TO A SECRET SPECIAL MISSION UNIT BY USING THE FIRST PROTOTYPES OF CYBERTONIAN-EARTH BASED VEHICLES, TO STOP THE EVIL TERRORIST CELL (NOT AN ARMY AS COBRA OR DESTRO) OF FORMER DESTRO'S IRON GRENADIER, MILES "GENERAL" MEYHEM', LEADER OF V.E.N.O.M., A GROUP OF MERCENARIES AND OUTCASTED DREADNOKS, WHO HAVE ALSO STOLEN TECHNOLOGY FROM COBRA OR EITHER DESTRO (YOUR CHOICE).

4.- THE CENTURIONS: THE GENESIS FOR THE ADC, WITH THE HELP OF GIJOE'S STAR BRIGADE AND USING THE FUSION BETWEEN HUMANS AND CYBERTRONIAN TECH, IT WOULD TAKE U.N's COMMANDER MAX RAY AND HIS CENTURIONS, TO STOP MEGATRON'S CYBORG DOCTOR TERROR (or/and DOCTOR ARKEVILLE) TO CONQUER EARTH AND ITS ENERGON RESOURCES THROUGH THE USE OF DECEPTICON BASED DOOM DRONES.

5.- THE INHUMANOIDS: THE SPIN-OFF OF SPIN-OFFS. U.N's EARTH CORPS (OR JOE'S) DR. HERC ARMSTRONG INVESTIGATES SEVERAL MUTATIONS ON EARTH'S ECOSYSTEMS, CAUSED BY DECEPTICON CONTINOUSLY SUBSTRACTION OF ENERGON RESOURCES OR PERHAPS SOME KIND OF SPACE VIRUS/ ALIEN LIFE FORMS BROGHT FROM CYBERTRONIANS, THAT IS CREATING INHUMANOIDS, THREATENING HUMAN POPULANCES AROUND THE WORLD.

OK, THAT'S ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT RIGHT NOW, MAYBE A VISIONARIES MOVIE THEME COULD BE TOSSED OUT SOMEWHERE BUT, I COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT WHERE.

WHTA DO U THINK?
