Andrew Scribner (born February 2, 1977)[1] is a freelance artist based in Pawtucket, RI. A Transformers fan since '84 (his first was Windcharger, bought with his own money), when he began to work at Hasbro as a temp model painter in August 2006, the team was reportedly thrilled to have someone so willing to paint for Transformers.
