'''Marty Isenberg''' is an American television writer responsible for co-story editing ''[[Beast Machines (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]'' alongside [[Bob Skir]] and story editing ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Transformers Animated]]''. When he joined the ''Animated'' production staff his first task was to revise the [[production bible]]. Later on, he would pen the original-story ''Animated'' comic series for [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]. It is his goal to make ''Animated'' "the most fun Transformers series ever". Rock on, Marty.

Marty has also dabbled with voice acting, providing the voice of ''Animated'' [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] for the series' test-track to get early animation before [[David Kaye]] was cast for the role.

He has also contributed a significant amount of work for [[Cartoon Network]] and other properties. His highest profile non-Transformers work has been as a writer for the revival of ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles''. Other works include such comic-to-cartoon properties as ''Batman the Animated Series'', ''[[Spider-Man]]'', ''[[Wolverine|X-Men]]'' and ''Sam & Max: Freelance Police!'', as well episodes from ''Godzilla: The Series'', usually in partnership with Bob Skir.
