The Official Transformers Collector's Convention was this past weekend, and there were obviously some fairly big announcements on the future of the franchise.

The first word is that the movie is still on track, but there is no script yet or director. Desanto is working on a story that will remain true to the comics and will feature all Generation One characters. Vince Dicola, the man behind the score to the original Transformers movie, was in attendance and said he's actively seeking the job for the new movie. He's helped lend new music to a couple Transformer projects since the movie and has been great about getting out to the cons.

Hasbro said at the current rate, we can expect the movie to run in 2005, which is appropriately the same year the original film took place. No toy line is planned to work with the movie yet, but we do have a 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime coming....
