Hasbro Studios signed writer-executive producer Jeff Kline to an overall series development and producing deal. The four-year agreement is exclusive to children's television animation.

Kline has written, produced, developed and run more than a dozen animated series, including "Jackie Chan Adventures," "Men In Black: The Series," "Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles" and the Emmy-nominated "Dragon Tales." Kline is currently the executive producer and co-developer of both Transformers: Prime and G.I. Joe: Renegades.

"Kline is a truly gifted writer and producer with a phenomenal understanding of our target audience," says Stephen Davis, president of Hasbro Studios. "Transformers: Prime and G.I. Joe: Renegades are just the beginning of a terrific collaboration, and we look forward to working with Kline well into the future."
