The font of much useless trivia concerning minor details in the world of Transformers. As a UK resident, he has a first hand appreciation of how Hasbro's distribution teams screw up. Expect him to tell you about all the mistakes in the ''[[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Titan Revenge of the Fallen comic]].'' There's a lot of them. Also a self-confessed Beast Wars and Armada lover, take that [[GEEWUN|purists!]]
Self-confessed Hot Shot aficionado born in the days of Generation 2. Location: The same council district as Simon Furman.
In case you're wondering, the name is an amalgam of [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot-Shot]] and [[Waspinator |Waspinator]].
Coined the term "wasping" to denote hunting for blind-packed [[Mini-Con|Mini-cons]] after alerting the international transfan community to the release of UK exclusive single-packed 2008 12-pack figures, of which [[Brimstone (Universe)|some]] [[Bodyblock|were]] [[Cloudraker (Universe)|variants]]. Through the days after the discovery and subsequent Seibertron forum chatter, he coined the term on December 11th 2010 (the term was used exclusively on Seibertron.com, so don't worry if you haven't ever heard it in use.) To this end a "wasper" is someone who hunts for these figures.
In case you're wondering, the name is an amalgam of [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Armada Hot-Shot]] and [[Waspinator (BW)|Beast Wars Waspinator]]. Speculate the reason why at your peril!
He also likes to talk about himself in the third person and likes to make lists.
