'''Nick Roche''' is an Irish comic book artist for [[IDW Publishing]] who currently does interiors and alternate covers for the ''Transformers [[Spotlight]]'' series of comic book one shots. He is awesome.

Nick Roche is a native of County Wexford, but currently resides in Dublin, Ireland. Having always been a massive Transformers fan, Roche's produced artwork for fan fiction and UK convention publications, gaining a healthy fanbase within the UK, but remaining almost entirely unknown outside of the tight-knit UK fandom.

Nick got his break into Transformers when IDW Publishing acquired the Transformers license after [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] Comics folded. A friend of Nick's by the name of Dave Hendrick sent IDW supremo [[Chris Ryall]] Nick's samples.

Twenty minutes later there was an email back from Chris.

Nick mainly drew Spotlights (and a [[Devastation (IDW)|Devastation]] fill-in) before being given the [[Maximum Dinobots]] mini-series. He's also penciled numerous covers for the different Transformers series, including a piece for the "[[Target 2006]]" reprints featuring the original team of [[Wrecker|Wreckers]], the covers for the [[Metrodome]] DVD sets of ''[[Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' and ''[[Victory (cartoon)|Victory]]'', and a special comic and a piece of artwork packed with [[Madman Entertainment]]'s ''Generation 1'' DVD set. Nick has also worked on the new Transformers UK comic book ([[Transformers Comic issue 2|issue 2]]) and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic for [[Titan Books|Titan]].

If that wasn't enough, Nick drew ''and'' wrote "[[Spotlight: Kup]]", which also has the distinction of being the first issue in the IDW G1 continuity written by someone other than [[Simon Furman]].

Shattered trousers are usually left in his wake.
