When Paramount
announced they had setup a writers-room to develop the future of the
Transformers franchise with more sequels and spinoffs, even Michael Bay haters held
their breaths in anticipation, mainly because of the pedigree of the room,
which included The Walking Dead's creator Robert Kirkman, and Spartacus creator
and Daredevil showrunner, Steven S. DeKnight.
Big changes were
ahead of us, we all though. Well…perhaps. Speaking to IGN, Academy Award
winning writer Akiva Goldsman, who Paramount put in charge of spearheading the
future of the franchise, revealed that the new movies won't diverge too much
from what we have already seen, including one of the franchise's weakest elements
by far, the Human characters.
"Do I
think Transformers can live without humans? Sure. Do I think humans can live
without Transformers? Sure. In Transformers movies? Sure! But,
fundamentally, there seems to be something really great about the interaction
between the two species. I think that, in the main, I would suggest that that
would be something you wouldn't want to squander. Although that doesn't mean
that you couldn't do all sorts of things for a little while."
In the pantheon of horrible things this franchise has ever put on screen, continuing
to have Human characters (saying the most moronic lines ever spoken) is
something I can live with, let's just hope they stay away from other cringe
worthy and offensive moments such as treating women like objects, creating
racially offensive characters, and trying to justify the sexual relationship
between an adult and a minor.
Goldsman also spoke
of the animated prequel movie and he revealed that, "it takes place before Optimus and Megatron ever come to
Earth."
Which is good news…wait…does
the movie happen on Earth or on Cybertron?
Well there's always
the 1986 animated movie right?
