In an interview with MTV,
IDW Editor-in-Chief Chris Mowry has revealed a little more regarding the five part Transformers: Destiny series that IDW will be releasing. The key points of the article are yet further confirmations that both Soundwave and Arcee will appear within the live action movie, as well as other fan-favourites, and that "The Fallen" will indeed be a character and not just a reference to the returning Decepticons.
"[We're going to] explore the background of The Fallen — the main villain of the
movie — as well as expand on the ‘Reign of Starscream’ story that we’re doing
and tie everything in to what this next movie is going to be,” explained writer
Chris Mowry, who partners on the book with artist Alex Milne. “The next movie
starts out with just tons of action and there’s obviously going to be a lot of
questions, so we’re hoping to answer some of those beforehand.”
At the
end of “Transformers,” audiences were treated to a grand speech from Optimus
Prime issuing the call for his off-world Autobots to head to Earth. We also saw
Starscream blast into space after the defeat of his leader Megatron. So where
did he go? Mowry’s “Reign of Starscream” miniseries — currently on shelves —
answers that question and leads directly into “Destiny.”
“We’re
definitely taking every character that we can from the sequel,” said Mowry. “So
you’ll see some Sector 7 involvement and how they developed into a new group
that will be introduced. The same thing with some of the new characters, we’ll
explain how they get to Earth. Because like I said, [the sequel] starts out with
this giant battle so people will be wondering ‘Hey, where did that guy come
from?’”
While Mowry has yet to have direct contact with “Transformers:
Revenge of the Fallen” screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, he counts
himself as one of the lucky few to have a complete script. That’s important to
keep his story in continuity, Mowry stated, as well as to ensure he’s not
stepping on the film’s plotlines. “We had this really ambitious script done
where there were a lot of fan-favorites in there. [But] some of them are going
to be making an appearance in the second movie so they asked us not to use
those, which is understandable.”
Two of those fan-favorite characters are
Soundwave and Arcee, both of whom find themselves recruited for the sequel.
“[Starscream]’s more of like a military guy. So in ‘Destiny’ we’re going to see
a lot more involvement with [the backgrounds of] Prime and Megatron, [as well
as] Cybertron’s history and how that affects the present day. It all centers
around the plot of the sequel which I obviously can’t get into. It’ll be
explained but you’ll see a lot more expansion of their characters and their
motivations and their destinies, if you will."
