SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
COUNTY OF ROCKLAND
Index No. 5192/00
Index No. 2821/02
*** PRESS RELEASE ***
December 7, 2006, Carmel, NY
After six years of grueling litigation and four appeals which were won
by her in 2006, the composer of the well-known Transformers Theme, The
JEM Theme and feature songs from the JEM TV SHOW, and several other
American, pop culture musical themes and songs originally composed in
the 80's for HASBRO Toys and Entertainment Properties, is finally
getting her days in Court at trial in a tiny courtroom in New York
Supreme Court in Carmel, NY. Anne Bryant,
the composer, is seeking to recover an accounting of and payment of
both performance and publishing royalties she claims should be paid to
her from the producer-publisher, SUNBOW PRODUCTIONS, NY [which is now
owned by its parent company LOONLAND AG, Germany] for millions of CD,
VHS and DVD sales and licenses which she says use her music without
paying her the royalties she says she is owed. On the eve of the
December 4th trial, Bryant says she suddenly received a small check
from TV Loonland for "music royalties" but Bryant says, although it is
an admission of responsibility, it is a mere drop in the bucket.
The composer is also suing her performing rights society BMI claiming
among other things that it allowed changes to be made to her song
catalog without her authorization.
According to Bryant, the long road to trial began when she discovered
that her 100% composer's share of the hugely valuable Transformers
Theme music had been reduced to a small fraction in her BMI writer's
catalogue. BMI's counsel, Judith Saffer argues that it is not possible
for BMI to police the catalogues of its many affiliated writers because
they have no way of knowing if the new registrations they accept for
the same title are accurate. In Saffer' view, it's up to the BMI writer
to bring a court action against another writer if there is an
infringement. Bryant says that BMI's stated position is to remain
neutral but then asks why BMI would not protect its writers by at least
checking with the original registrant when a song with the same title
is later presented for registration. "Others are being unjustly
enriched by my music," says the composer. "It appears to me that BMI
writers cannot expect their works to be safeguarded by BMI"- a
performance rights organization that represents more than 300,000
affiliated songwriters, composers and publishers. The composer also
claims that because of BMI's laissez faire position, these corrupted
registrations have diminished her writer's royalties across the board,
finding their way into her SONY ATV catalogue, after Sunbow passed on
the altered publishing catalogues to the mega-publisher. Bryant also
claims that she is not given credit for her songs in three
newlyproduced Transformers television series airing on The Cartoon
Network.
The composer hopes to be made whole for the millions of dollars in back
royalties due to her since 1994 for her many valuable themes. And with
the DreamWorks TRANSFORMERS LIVE ACTION MOVIE [#1] scheduled for
release on July 4, 2007, she also seeks to secure her professional
screen credits, in the event that the Dreamworks movie uses her theme.
Bryant has been represented by Patrick J. Monaghan of Monaghan,
Monaghan, Lamb & Marchisio a small New Jersey and New York firm.
Monaghan has represented and won settlements in the past on behalf of
the former managers of the artists Meat Loaf and Billy Joel in separate
cases. Sunbow is represented by Gloria Phares, Esq. a partner in the
New York law firm of Patterson, Belknap, & Webb. BMI is represented
by its in-house counsel Judith Saffer, Esq. Bryant says she will sue
anyone who is using her music without authority. "The Transformers best
days are yet to come," she says. "I look to the Court to achieve
justice and secure accurate royalty accountings and payments to me in
the future." I have faith in the American judicial system and I am not
going to be cowed into submission by a huge corporation with millions
to spend on lawyers.

TFW2005 have posted
some rumours which they have received regarding the cartoon show currently being called Transformers Heroes. The rumours are a polar opposite of the rumours Seibertron recently printed, so whether either of these reports are accurate very much remains to be seen.
The rumous TFW have are
- Animation studio NOT Gonzo ... rather it's Answer and Mook. Whether they're associated with Gonzo, no idea.
- Not "anime"
- Only TF related writer that's even submitted details/info is a guy
who did some story editting on Beast Machines (ie: NO BEAST WARS
WRITERS)
- Character design ... guy from Teen Titans, Legion of Superheroes, Fosters...
- Director ... did work on Teen Titans, X-Men Evolution
- Cartoon Network is partner in the show, not just the airing network

Yes, our German friends, the headline is not a deception, but Transformers: Cybertron Metroplex has actually been released in Germany, one of the more Transformers starved larger European nations. You can read the report with photographic evidence over at fellow
Trans-Europe Express member site,
The Transformers.de. Thanks to Nevermore for the news.

Seibertron had a story on their website yesterday with some rumours surrounding the next Transformers series, referred to as Transformers: Heroes. The rumour takes some of the information Brian Savage posted on the GI-Joe forum regarding Hasbro's company direction, as well as stating Japanese animation house Gonzon, responsible for the Transformers: Galaxy Force (Transformers: Cybertron) animation will once again be animating the story. This time, if the rumour is true, some of the Transformers: Beast Wars story team will be involved in the writing of the script. This last part also falls in line with the information that Susan Blu is involved in the new Transformers cartoon line.
"
GroundPounder1967 has sent us the following information concerning the
'Transformers Heroes' cartoon series currently in development by Hasbro.
Hasbro has signed off on Gonzo to animate the new TF cartoon. Hasbro
has been happy with their work on Transformers Cybertron and GI Joe
Sigma Six and wants to keep that partnership going. And like GI Joe,
this will be written in the States but animated overseas. (Much like
how TFG1 was produced back in the day.)
A story bible was written and has meet with a lot of approval from everyone involved, but no story editor has been chosen yet.
Right now everyone there is excited about the movie, and Brian may well
sign off on the idea of hiring one (or both) of the Beast Wars guys to
showrun TFH since he knows how good they are at telling a great story,
which is his main agenda right now. His primary goal as CEO is to turn
Hasbro from a toy company that owns intellectual properties into an IP
company that also makes toys, and he knows that quality stories will
bring that about. Now that Hasbro is making Marvel toys, look for a
renewed relationship with Marvel Comics on that front as well.
