Following the first four Transformers films, a large team of writers was assembled to help make the franchise expand, including names like Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead) and Steven S. DeKnight (Marvel’s Daredevil).
However, another of those names, Akiva Goldsman (Winter’s Tale, A Beautiful Mind, I Am Legend, Batman & Robin) was a leader in the room of writers looking to expand the Transformers series. Goldsman is quoted as saying the following on his experience working with the other writers:
“The room was honestly as delightful an experience as I’ve had. When you have a bunch of people who you respect, who are smart and talented, all trying to help each other figure stuff out, it’s good whether you’re all in a car heading across country for a road trip, or a writer’s room.”
While the aim is to make the films feel both ‘interconnected and standalone), they will use some of the same ideas the first four films used- particularly the human element. Goldsman had the following to say on the human element:
“Fundamentally, there seems to be something really great about the interaction between the two species, [humans and Transformers]. I think that, in the main, I would suggest that would be something you wouldn’t want to squander. That doesn’t mean that you couldn’t do all sorts of things for a little while. The prequel animated film that’s in continuity with these movies will do just that, in fact. It takes place before Optimus and Megatron ever come to Earth.”
