Notes

• Ruckley is a noted wildlife enthusiast, even hosting a nature podcast called The Wild Episode. This has clearly influenced his work on Transformers—his Cybertron features many more organic life forms than most previous incarnations of the metal planet.
• Apparently, the character he finds hardest to write is Soundwave—it is occasionally difficult to marry the character's voice and personality.
