| The name or term "Mark" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Mark (disambiguation). |
Mark Maher is a Senior Model Artist at Hasbro responsible for hand-painting Transformers prototypes. A lifelong fan of Transformers, Mark began working at Hasbro in 2010, handling some figures for Revenge of the Fallen before moving to G.I. Joe for the "Pursuit of Cobra" series. Maher returned to Transformers to oversee the "Reveal the Shield" deluxe segment, and has continued on through the Prime, Dark of the Moon, and Age of Extinction line-ups to today. Along the way, he became responsible for hand-painting every Transformers prototype. Wicked!
While not a design lead himself, Maher has quickly become the face of the brand with fans following the retirement of Senior Design Manager Lenny Panzica in 2021. He regularly takes point in presentations for Generations (and occasionally BotBots) at conventions and Hasbro Pulse livestreams, and originated the now-common Hasbro designer practice of publishing design notes on Instagram for interested fans.

Notes

- Maher is featured in the "A Spark of Design" featurette on the Blu-ray disc for Age of Extinction.
- His own custom-painted Masterpiece Sunstorm was the basis for the Toys"R"Us exclusive figure.
- Mark's personal favorite projects include Masterpiece Optimus Prime and Acid Storm. Coincidentally (or not), Masterpiece MP-10 Optimus Prime is his favorite toy, while Cyclonus is his favorite character.
- He has a Decepticon logo tattoo directly over his heart.
- With approval from Hasbro and the city of Pawtucket, Mark
transformedconverted a utility box on the sidewalk outside Hasbro headquarters into an Optimus Prime head!
