I’ve been hired by Del Rey to produce the novelization for “Transformers 3,” which is listed on IMDB as “Transformers: Dark of the Moon.” I can’t provide any plot details about it since I’ve signed enough non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements to join the NSA, so don’t bother asking. But that’s what I’m working on at the moment.

IDW is far too cheap for that.

Yeah, Peter David is a great writer. His X-Factor work is top-notch.
Isn't it a bit of a waste to have such a good writer do this? I mean, the story is already written, right? If so, all he'll do is translate that onto the pages.

I believe he also wrote the novellisation of Batman Forever, and brought it down to earth. made it more palatable.
Now if only he was actually writing the Transformers films rather than adapting.

Every once and a great while he has a "Ask PAD" thread and on one of those threads a few years ago I asked him would he ever write a Transformers comic and his answer was no, he feels that he doesn't know enough about the Transformers lore to do the series any good.
It's also interesting to note that he was originally intended to write Marvel US The Transformers #16 but for some weird reason it didn't happen.
He has worked for IDW in the past on The Fallen Angel, Spike: Old Wounds, Angel Spotlight: Illyria, and Spike vs. Dracula. The last I heard he had signed an exclusive contract to Marvel and can only write comics for them.
