Robert J. Walsh was one of the original composers for the Generation 1 cartoon. Born on December 4, 1947, in Chicago, Illinois, he has written music for nearly 50 television shows, including The Seventh Portal, Millennium Man, G.I. Joe Extreme and My Little Pony Tales.
Beginning with season 1 episode 6, Walsh and Johnny Douglas were co-credited as the show's composers and conductors. For the first five episodes, only Johnny Douglas's name appeared in the credits. The pair's music for the first season of the show was a mixture of Walsh's previous compositions used on G.I. Joe, and new work that often incorporated the melody of the series theme music, despite neither of the pair writing that tune. For the show's third season, Walsh composed many new synthesizer tracks that drew on the score of The Transformers: The Movie.
