'''Sam Smith''' is the current [[Hasbro]] Design Manager on the ''[[Studio Series]]'', ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'', and mainline ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' (the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'', ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'', etc) toylines.  Whether by choice or as a practical consequence of the sheer breadth of modern ''Generations'' product, he seemingly utilizes a more horizontal command structure than past department heads, taking point on the primary [[live-action film series]] component of the ''Studio Series'' line and largely leaving the more traditional [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] flavored fare to Associate Designer [[Evan Brooks]] and current overall ''Generations'' design lead [[Mark Maher]]. Smith's status as the resident gearhead of the design team may or may not constitute an ulterior motive for this particular division of labor. He used to work on ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]''.
