Notes

Workin' on Transformers before he was actually on Transformers!
  • As a kid living in Ohio, John got to tour the American Greetings AmToy design studio for an elementary school career-path project. After seeing how Madballs were made, he decided he wanted to be a toy designer. (Quick, somebody press him for a Retrax update!)
  • John graduated with a degree in Industrial Design from Ohio State University, and worked in the automotive industry designing car interiors before joining Hasbro in 1999.
  • Prior to Transformers, John worked on Star Wars (including Episode 1, Episode 2, and 300th Boba Fett), Shrek 2, Rave Master, and all Pokémon toys from 2000 to 2005 (and was a co-signee on a patent for toy/game convergence used on Pokémon THINKChip Plus figures).
  • He is probably best known to Hasbro fans as the lead designer on all G.I. Joe figures and vehicles from 2006 to 2013: Sigma 6, 25th Anniversary, Rise of Cobra movie toys, Pursuit of Cobra (including original designs Shadow Tracker, Jungle-Viper, Zombie-Viper, and Data-Viper), 30th Anniversary, and Retaliation movie figures. Some of the 50th Anniversary figures were also based on his "concept vault" work.
  • At JoeCon 2011, Warden and Rik Alvarez participated in a "Treasures from the Hasbro Archives" panel, which revealed that a robot panther modeled on Ravage was intended for release with an unproduced Rise of Cobra "Arctic Baroness" figure. While Warden consistently denied that it was going to actually be Ravage, the use of Ravage design cues was intentional. Neither the Baroness or the robot panther were tooled, with the panther in the photo being the only one in existence.
  • His favorite Transformers are Roadbuster, Whirl, Sky Lynx, and Jetfire. He must be quite impressed with himself!
  • Warden even expresses interest for a potential crossover with Power Rangers. Yes, he's serious about this.[1]
