	So we weren't expecting McCrea to draw four issues of [[Titan Magazines]]' ''[[Transformers Animated (Titan)\|Transformers Animated]]'' strips! (Two ran in [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)\|''Transformers Universe'']]).

	McCrea also illustrated "How to Draw" features for the UK's ''[[Transformers (Titan Magazine)\|Transformers]]'' comic published by [[Titan Books\|Titan]], teaching kids how to render the complicated forms of the [[Transformers (film)\|movie]] 'bots.

Ah well.
