Me HATE Transformers SO MUCH that me want to work on it FOREVER!

Ben Jones is a storyboard artist and animation director, and was one of the episode directors on Transformers Animated. Compared to previous shows he worked on, there are more robots that turn into cars.

Jones didn't have as many Transformers toys as he wanted growing up, but he had a few. He also seems to be a fan of Bizarro, and apparently wrote an episode of The Ripping Friends, but we'll try not to hold the latter against him. Much.

“	I’ve come to expect the fans of the original material to hate the first artwork they see, then slowly come around as the shows air. I think most of them have come around by now—at least my entry in the Transformers wikia seems pretty friendly.	”
—Ben Jones, in a Big Shiny Robot! interview

• He did the pencils for the original Animated promo poster, with various other Animated staff members inking and coloring it.[1]
• According to Derrick J. Wyatt, Jones actually has a collection of various "evil superhero" shirts beyond the Bizarro one, including one of Professor Zoom, the Reverse Flash. Wonder if he's managed to pick up that Shattered Glass Optimus Prime shirt from BotCon 2008?
