Brian Parrish is a Design Manager for action brands at Hasbro and the most influential Transformers designer you've never heard of. Beginning his career on Batman with Kenner in the mid-1990s, he moved to the his childhood dream of working in the Star Wars division around the time of the company's absorption into Hasbro proper. Somewhere in there he cranked out the 2003 Universe toyline toyline more or less as a favor between Star Wars project before becoming the design lead on the first-of-its-kind Star Wars Transformers crossover line under industry legend Mark Boudreaux. After much soul searching he transferred to the Pre-K department in the 2010s, where being tasked with creating an "[[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Imaginext|{{#if:||Imaginext}}]] killer" eventually led to him becoming the creator and design lead for the entire Rescue Bots toyline. He made his triumphant return to action brands around 2018, where he is currently in charge of "kids" (read: non-Generations) lines for the Transformers brand. He has also taken point on the Collaborative line as of 2022 or so.

Trivia
[edit]- Parrish has markedly fewer samples of his work to show off because he has a habit of re-homing them with local children. Dawww!
- His original pitch prototype for the Crossovers Star Wars line was an Iguanus frankensteined with a Mission Fleet TIE Advanced Fighter.
