Movie writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are deeply , “ emotionally ” postulate in the show , and they ’re relish the chance to explore transformer lore in means the picture show ca n’t . This is their opportunity to dig into the robot mythology to an extent that just is n’t potential to do in the movies . They also say that the humanity pardner with Transformers to a greater extent than in the picture show , where there are limits to how much the thespian can interact with the CGI elements .
They say the show is in the same at large continuity as all the other Transformers labor , and the basic premise is that this is set a duo years after the events of the movies .
