T’formers prequel

No, the third film in the TRANSFORMERS franchise won’t be a prequel. IDW Publishing recently announced that they’d be making a prequel to demolition innovator Michael Bay’s sequel TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN. Well, not so much a prequel but a story that would bridge the gap between the first and second film. Titled, “Transformers: Destiny”, the comic will apparently set up most of what we’ll see in FALLEN and expand on the current “Reign of Starscream” storyline, which picks up immediately after the end of the first film.

MTV recently sat down with the writer of both “Destiny” and “Reign of Starscream”, who had this to say of the project: “[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…We’re definitely taking every character that we can from the sequel. 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?’”
