James Roberts is a British writer and Transformers fan. He was one of the early members of fan club Transmasters UK (TMUK), and wrote a number of text stories and strips. The most famous of these is the absolutely massive Eugenesis, an unofficial novel he first published back in 2001.
His first pro-work was helping fellow TMUKer Nick Roche with All Hail Megatron #15, acting as a "sounding board" for Nick's script. While he didn't write any of the script, Nick made sure to include him in the credits.[1]
After that, Roberts was brought in to co-write Last Stand of the Wreckers, in order to lessen the stress and workload for Roche. While the first issue was all pre-planned by Roche, from issue two onwards it became a collaborative effort. [2] He went on to write the text story Bullets for the Wreckers trade and then became a co-writer on the ongoing from #22.
Writing
- Last Stand of the Wreckers (co-written with Nick Roche)
- Bullets
- The Transformers #24, #26, #28, #30, #31
- The Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye
Notes
- Roche sneaked Eugenesis into a bookshelf in Maximum Dinobots #3.
- The original Eugenesis cover looked like a Penguin Classics book (even sporting the tagline "Polyhex 21st Century Classics"). Roberts has said this was him poking fun at his own "lofty" aspirations. [1]
- Shockwave's death in The Legacy of Unicron! has haunted Roberts since childhood... [3]
