Seibertron had a story on their website yesterday with some rumours surrounding the next Transformers series, referred to as Transformers: Heroes. The rumour takes some of the information Brian Savage posted on the GI-Joe forum regarding Hasbro's company direction, as well as stating Japanese animation house Gonzon, responsible for the Transformers: Galaxy Force (Transformers: Cybertron) animation will once again be animating the story. This time, if the rumour is true, some of the Transformers: Beast Wars story team will be involved in the writing of the script. This last part also falls in line with the information that Susan Blu is involved in the new Transformers cartoon line."GroundPounder1967 has sent us the following information concerning the 'Transformers Heroes' cartoon series currently in development by Hasbro.
Hasbro has signed off on Gonzo to animate the new TF cartoon. Hasbro has been happy with their work on Transformers Cybertron and GI Joe Sigma Six and wants to keep that partnership going. And like GI Joe, this will be written in the States but animated overseas. (Much like how TFG1 was produced back in the day.)
A story bible was written and has meet with a lot of approval from everyone involved, but no story editor has been chosen yet.
Right now everyone there is excited about the movie, and Brian may well sign off on the idea of hiring one (or both) of the Beast Wars guys to showrun TFH since he knows how good they are at telling a great story, which is his main agenda right now. His primary goal as CEO is to turn Hasbro from a toy company that owns intellectual properties into an IP company that also makes toys, and he knows that quality stories will bring that about. Now that Hasbro is making Marvel toys, look for a renewed relationship with Marvel Comics on that front as well. *ahem*ROM*cough*"
