RUMOR: Transformers Origin Spin-off Movie Set On Cybertron

Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari (Ant-Man) have joined the writers for Paramount who has been been building the groundwork for a Transformer’s shared universe.  The pair will be working with other writers on a prequel and spin-off ideas to expand the studios Transformers film franchise.

Transformers One, a prequel origin story that would be set on the Autobot and Decepticon’s home world of Cybertron, which in thought is a good idea but word is it will be animated.

Akiva Goldsman, has become the head man in charge for the Transformers Universe and has assembled an impressive but also mixed bag of writers which includes creators like The Walking Dead’s Robert Kirkman, Iron Man writers Art Marcum & Matt Holloway, Pacific Rim 2’s Zak Penn, and Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Lost‘s Jeff Pinkner.  Currently they are tasked with getting the lastest Transformers movie together by the time Michael Bay has finished his unrelated project, so yes, if you were hoping Bay would no longer be playing in the Transformers world, sorry to say he hasn’t left yet.
