Simon Furman
Probably the most well-known of all Transformers comics writers, Simon Furman was editor and author for much of the Marvel UK run, and began writing for the Marvel US comic after writer Bob Budiansky left.
Since then, Furman has also written Transformers comics for Dreamwave, IDW, and 3H, and scripted the final episode of the Beast Wars cartoon, "Nemesis, Part 2".
He has also written and created many non-Transformers characters, including Death's Head with Geoff Senior and "Brute Force" with Jose Delbo. He is an editor at Titan Books, which publishes collections of Transformers comics, among other material.
Due to his popularity with fans and his prolific nature, when at all possible Simon Furman will write absolutely everything connected to Transformers. From coloring books, to definitive guides on aspects of the canon he had little or no involvement with, if it has "Transformers" on the cover, Furman is all over it. He probably wrote the instructions on the bottle of Transformers bubble bath.
Furman enjoys drinking Corona and killing off hordes of background characters.
Fiction
Unicron Trilogy continuity
The flesh creature known as Simon Furman pleases Unicron with his accurate depiction of his omnipotent magnificence.
(In the final issue of Dreamwave's Transformers Armada, Unicron used his ability to gaze across parallel dimensions into a world where he was only a comic-book character, and answer letters from readers. He was unaware this issue ended with his defeat.)
Trivia
- Simon recorded a DVD commentary track for "Nemesis, Part 2" as part of Madman Entertainment's Beast Wars Season 3 DVD set.
