Road bars with flat transition to hoods
I need a list of bars that offer a straight transition from the flat part of the bar to the hoods like in this pic of an Easton EC90 Aero CNT Road Handlebar.
I like the EC90, I just want to know what other options are out there for me.

There are tons out there currently as that is the new trend. You can be more specific and state what reach and drop and other shapes you are looking for.

Bontrager. It's kind of like your pictures there, but instead of the "ergo" drop section with the flat spot, it's round, more like a traditional bar.

Don't most bars out there these days offer that possiblity? It seems like it's more a question of how high you want to put your brake levers. Other than track bars (or old-school "crit" bars) which begin to sweep down and forward almost from the stem, most current bars have a flat top which then transitions into the curve - as long as you put your hoods high enough, you should get a flat transition, right?
