From humble fan to Transformers historian, these are the basics on Chris McFeely!
A longtime fan hailing from Northern Ireland, McFeely first got involved in official Transformers material through DVD company Metrodome, contributing to DVD releases of the various Transformers series in the United Kingdom — including the character profiles for Maximum Entertainment's 2001 Robots in Disguise DVD box sets, in which he made lots of goofy Generation 1 references and willfully screwed with people by kinda-sorta including that stuff about the Predacons being time-travellers before most of the fandom (including him) knew it was actually true.
Since then, McFeely has made a name for himself as a prominent editor on a wiki of no real importance, before introducing the brand to many a viewer with the "popular and accessible"[1] "Transformers: The Basics", an unofficial YouTube series that explains various elements of the Transformers franchise to newer fans. Outside of his official work, he co-wrote with Jim Sorenson "Trial and Error", an unofficial comic released at TFNation 2017 to act as a "finale" to the Transformers Animated cartoon. Beyond Transformers, McFeely has contributed to Discotek's Blu-Ray release of Digimon and co-hosts Sonic the Comic the Podcast, a podcast recapping each issue of Fleetway's Sonic the Comic.
