	*According to [[Don Figueroa]] via his now-defunct Deviant Art account, he designed the stealth bomber Megatron which appeared in IDW's [[Heart Like a Wheel\|''The Transformers'' #13]] comic. However, he originally designed it as part of a story pitch which editor Andy Schmidt rejected. Schmidt later told Figueroa he wanted the pitched concept and the two made plans to work out a deal at the Long Beach Comic-Con. Schmidt stood Figueroa up, not attending the Comic-Con, and then proceeded to use the pitched design in ''The Transformers'' #13 with no compensation to Figueroa whatsoever. When Figueroa heard about this, and that Hasbro would be turning the design into a toy (again, with no compensation or credit), Figueroa was less than thrilled.<ref>[http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/don-figueroa-designed-idw-s-stealth-bomber-megatron-but-wasn-t-compensated--t96022s0.php DeviantArt message from Figueroa, archived via Seibertron messageboard post]</ref>		* According to [[Don Figueroa]] via his now-defunct Deviant Art account, he designed the stealth bomber Megatron which appeared in IDW's [[Heart Like a Wheel\|''The Transformers'' #13]] comic.

Before working for IDW, he was an editor at [[Marvel Comics]], where he handled most titles under the "Marvel Heroes" brand as well as numerous other top titles, and oversaw the multi-title "Annihilation" crossover event.

	He moved to IDW Publishing in 2008, starting out editing their ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)\|G.I. Joe]]'' and ''[[Star Trek]]'' titles before leaving ''Star Trek'' to work on the ''Transformers'' brand, first as co-editor, and then taking over as full editor when [[Denton J. Tipton]] moved on to other projects. To say that he was overwhelmed with how obsessive Transfans are with the continuity would be an understatement.

Tipton]] moved on to other projects. To say that he was overwhelmed with how obsessive Transfans are with the continuity would be an understatement. He would create a short-lived "brain trust" of Transformers writers, modelled on the [[Spider-Man]] "Brand New Day" team, in large part to keep the continuity on track.<ref>[https://www.mixcloud.com/GuernseyGeekOnPodcast/guernsey-geekon-james-roberts-interview-in-full/ Guernsey GeekOut interview with James Roberts, 1:12:30 to 1:17:10]</ref>

	In 2011, he was hired by Hasbro directly to work in their new [[HasLab (Hasbro department)\|HasLab]] division, and has since been replaced as editor on IDW's Hasbro-licensed properties by [[John Barber]]. In 2013, it was revealed that he was among the Hasbro employees who were affected by a major layoff wave a few months earlier.
