Donald F. Glut

Donald F. Glut (born February 19, 1944) is an American writer and filmmaker. In addition to Transformers, he wrote many, many scripts for other '80s cartoons, including Masters of the Universe, Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, and The Mighty Orbots. A noted dinosaur enthustaist, Glut has written several non-fiction books about dinosaurs. He also wrote the bestselling novelization of The Empire Strikes Back.

Glut's testimony regarding his The Transformers work is much more cynical compared to his peers. In 2001, he wrote:

"No one, not even the story editors, looked at these scripts very carefully. I seem to remember the show being on a really tight schedule, and we had to crank these scripts out fast. I wrote some of them in a single day, first draft, and they went almost immediately to the storyboard artists after Bryce or an assistant gave them a rather cursory read. We were not trying to create art, just get them done fast, and get paid." [1]
