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.
