:wtf: The general consensus of non kiddie fans couldn't disagree with you more. Other than giving Bay the boot, There's nothing BETTER that could be done to redeem this franchise than to take humans out of it.

The 86 movie had like 10 lines of human interaction and is an undeniable classic
people say that now, but once the movies come out and are just 2 hours of colors and metal clashing, never knowing who the fukk is who, or what is going on, people will yearn for a few scenes with people in em. an all Transformers "Transformers" movie would be such a jumbled mess, especially if they're like the previous movies in any way.

Yeah, fukk this shyt. This "cinematic universe" bullshyt is a prime example of everything wrong with movies today.
In marvel/dc and starwars case nah, it's best they share the same universe makes the whole thing feel serialized

Hasbro Cinematic Universe Takes Shape With Michael Chabon, Brian K. Vaughan, Akiva Goldsman

The plan is for a universe featuring Hasbro’s G.I. Joe, Micronauts, Visionaries, M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) and ROM brands.

Hasbro’s cinematic universe has assembled its writers room, with a Pulitzer Prize winner, an Eisner-winning comic book author and Marvel Studios scribes among those who will be clacking the keyboard.

Michael Chabon, who wrote the novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay and worked on Spider-Man 2; Brian K. Vaughan, the creator of seminal comic works Y: The Last Man and Saga and showrunner of Under the Dome; and Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain Marvel co-writer Nicole Perlman, will help develop a plan for the creation of an interconnected onscreen universe featuring Hasbro’s G.I. Joe, Micronauts, Visionaries, M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) and ROM brands.

Also in the group are:

► Lindsey Beer, who was just hired to adapt Kingkiller Chronicle for Lionsgate
► Cheo Coker, showrunner of Marvel’s Netflix show Luke Cage
► John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the comedy writing team who penned Spider-Man: Homecoming
► Joe Robert Cole (a writer on People vs. OJ Simpson who is also writing Black Panther for Marvel)
► Jeff Pinkner, who wrote the adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower)
► Nicole Riegel (writer behind the Blacklist script Dogfight)
► Geneva Robertson (one of the writers of new Tomb Raider movie project).

Akiva Goldsman, who won an Oscar for A Beautiful Mind, will oversee the writers room on behalf of Hasbro and Paramount as well as serving as executive producer for all of the films. He is already serving in a similar capacity for Hasbro’s Transformers writers room and the new session is meant to build on its successful fruits and established road map.

Allspark Pictures, Hasbro’s film label, will produce the films based on this cross-property universe. Hasbro’s chairman and CEO Brian Goldner and executive vice president and CCO Stephen Davis are serving as producers. Josh Feldman, head of Hasbro’s storytelling, will co-exec produce.

The collective’s first meeting will be held Monday on the Paramount lot. Paramount is integrally involved with Hasbro’s cinematic universe and has been the company’s partner on the $3.8 billion grossing Transformers franchise as well as the G.I Joe movies.

Also on hand for the writers room will be Hasbro artists to help up draw up concepts and characters.

The room is diverse, with a strong concentration of black and women writers, something that is unusual not only in fanboy genre spheres but even in Hollywood circles, in which tentpoles tend to be written by a small circle of scribes.

That's a pretty impressive group of writers they have assembled.

Inclusion of the Visionaries is pretty random. I'm interested in seeing how they link all of those franchises up. Hopefully reboots (with strong roots in the source materials) for GI Joe & TF pave the way.

And I hope this means a re-release of MASK on DVD because I'm not paying $64 for that box set that's been out forever. :aicmon:

I hope these writers put some effort into Transformers. It's been a waste of Constructicons and the Dinobots so far. :upsetfavre:
