Steven Melching as story editor. That's acceptable.

Sounds promising, though I wish they picked a different name

 

Looks like the show could be cell shaded to look 2d

 

Maybe, just maybe...

Now I do highly doubt it, and this is just my theory, but, what if Knock-Out... I dunno, maybe has his name changed to Sideswipe after he joined the autobots? Idk, it almost makes sense (well to me), especially the way Sideswipe looks, and how people are already mistaking him for KO (like I did at first as well). plz, plz, plz be him!

 

They look similar, but nope, Sideswipe is Sideswipe and KO is KO.  

 

 

Yeah, oh well. But I'm still hoping for KO, even though they haven't mentioned him at all. :/

 

Sorry for bumping this thread a little over 2 months after the last post, but with more news about the show that just came out, this was the only search result I found that talked about the writer.

Thank you very much for this information. I'm surprised there's so little discussion on the potential writing for the story, when that's what matters most for the show. (The toys are separate. Story helps sell toys, but it's not the most important factor for me.)

The info seems to be a bit refined since that news update, so perhaps this changes the talents that a given individual is likely to contribute. I'm just praying it won't be as terrible as TFPrime, but I suppose there's little hope for that. I'll pray for a miracle anyway.

To reformat that:
executive producer: Jeff Kline
producer: Adam Beechen
story editor: Steven Melching
script coordinator/writer's assistant: Mairghread Scott

Hm. I guess I'm just not familiar with the titles, but wikipedia is very helpful in the matter.
After reading about this, does this mean that there is a head writer that we're not aware of? Is there any channels of inquiry, since we're so far along?

Sounds like a lot of grunt work. Nothing about "writer's assistant" or "writing assistant" though, so no idea what additional work that might imply.

 

Awesome Mairghread Scott is involved, gives me hope.
