Shane McCarthy is an <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Australia" title="Australia">Australian</a> comic book writer. He has written for DC Comics's Batman in Detective Comics and was responsible for the reinvention of the Riddler during the five-part "Riddle Me That" storyline in Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight (which was subsequently ignored by the "One Year Later" event). He has recently started writing Transformers comics for <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/IDW_Publishing" title="IDW Publishing">IDW Publishing</a>, with his first series being <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/All_Hail_Megatron" title="All Hail Megatron">All Hail Megatron</a>.

The first details of All Hail Megatron were revealed by McCarthy in a television interview on the disreputable Australian tabloid current affairs programme Today Tonight on January 16, 2008. He was quoted saying that the story would be about a "world without the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Autobots" class="mw-redirect" title="Autobots">Autobots</a>", but later retracted his comments, claiming he had been misquoted.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1" title="">[2]</a></sup> Considering the quality of Today Tonight's journalism (trust us, it's terrible), it's hard not to give Shane the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Among Shane McCarthy's many talents is swing dancing. He is a regular instructor at the Swing It! swing dancing school in Perth, Western Australia.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2" title="">[3]</a></sup>

He is not a fan of the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_%282007%29" title="Transformers (2007)">2007 Transformers movie</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3" title="">[4]</a></sup>
