Lets take a trip through time.

Travelling back one day

Oct 17 - Toyark post ground breaking news of Visionaries trademarks - is there a movie in the works, maybe new toys? The Toyark - News - Welcome to The Toyark!

Travelling back 2 days earlier

Oct 15 - We update our USPTO page with Visionaries trademarks from the 80's and 2010/2013, after our earlier discovery - Transformers Trademark Applications | Transformers At The Moon - www.transformertoys.co.uk

Travelling back 2 days earlier still

Oct 13 - Steven Mapes discovers "the big one" (posted on his facebook page). News that in 2013 AGE, the company that owns the rights to (and created) The Visionaries, had acquired the rights and had started looking into producing a Live Action Visionaries TV Series. We discovered further evidence of the planned series after making contact with the someone who worked as the Production Design and Brand Development on the Live Action Visionaries series in 2013. His role was to design and pitch for a new Visionaries Live Action Franchise set to be produced by the producers of the TRANSFORMERS franchise.

The plans were that after both the Transformers and GI Joe movies, the next film in the Toy/Movie franchise was to be Micronaughts, directed by JJ Abrahams. This was planned as a 3 movie franchise and would be followed by The Visionaries. This never arose.

We are looking into how far the pitch for the Live Action Visionaries TV Series and possible Movie got

Travel back 1 day earlier

The UK Convention Roll Out Roll Call has the first ever Visionaries panel looking at preproduction pieces as well as unreleased Series 2 figures and concepts, by David and Steven Mapes (ourselves)

Conclusion

Although we would love for a Visionaries film to me made, we have found no evidence this got past the 2013 pitch

We shall be covering more on this on TheVisionaries.net soon with more information and sources on this story

Thanks for the info. Visionaries isn't a property I follow, really, at all. Like Tony B. Said, We got the PTO links from SilverOptimus and simply shared those in a story. If there is more to this, feel free to drop me a link or post the link here when your story runs. I'd be happy to share it with the viewers.
