Jeffrey Scott (May 7, 1952 - ) is an American writer. His extensive resume of writing credits goes back to the 1970s, and includes a mix of television scripts, movie scripts, and series pitches. Shows that he's done work on include the Super Friends franchise, M.A.S.K., Dungeons & Dragons, Muppet Babies, and James Bond Jr.
Following the creation of the pilot episodes for the original cartoon series, Scott wrote a production bible and the script for a pilot episode entitled "A Robot's Best Friend Is His Dog" as part of a larger effort to sell the series to network television; his website[1] credits Transformers as being done for "Marvel Productions / CBS", suggesting that the CBS network was the company who would have received the pitch. As a part of the pitch, Scott proposed a pair of humans named Eddie Fairchild and Matt Conroy as the young human allies.
Instead, the decision was made to syndicate the series, with the syndicated series following directly from the pilot. A new production bible was solicited for this effort, and as part of it Matt and Eddie were rejected in favor of continuing with Spike and adding the character Chip Chase. However, the names Eddie Fairchild and Matt Conroy were eventually recycled Eddie Fairchild and Matt Conroy for a pair of characters from Transformers: Animated.
