Notes

Brooks has a pretty respectable Transformers collection himself, and his display shelves provide a regular background and occasional source of figure comparisons in his livestream appearances.
According to fellow designer and fellow Transformers nerd Mark Maher, Brooks was personally responsible for the noticeable pivot to deep cuts in the Kre-O Micro-Changers line.^[6]
