Jim-Bob's Diner

Jim-Bob's Diner (seen in Maximum Dinobots #2) is a reference to Jim Salicrup and Bob Budiansky. Jeff Steele "Jeff39042"

And what is your reference? Jim Bob is also just a stereotypical southern name. --MistaTee 02:09, 23 July 2009 (EDT)

I thought of 'Jim-Bob' as a reference to Jim Salicrup and Bob Budiansky--NOT as a first name

Jim Salicrup and Bob Budiansky were instrumental to Marvel's Transformers series (and its spinoffs) of the '80s.

Jim Salicrup wrote Transformers #2-4 (1984) and edited Transformers Universe #1-4 (1986).

Bob Budiansky edited Transformers #1-4 (1984); wrote Transformers #5-15, 17-32, 35-42 and 44-55 (1984-1989); wrote and consult-edited Transformers Universe #1-4, edited Transformers: The Movie #1-3 (1986), drew the covers of Transformers #14, 29, 31, 45 and 47; and co-penciled Transformers #55. --Jeff39042 23:51, 25 July 2009 (EDT)

It COULD be, but let's not postulate unless Simon states so somewhere, it's reaching a little.--MistaTee 18:17, 28 July 2009 (EDT)

"Jim Bob" is the name of LOTS OF THINGS. --ItsWalky 18:23, 28 July 2009 (EDT)

Nick sez

"Way off, sir. It is a reference, but not to either of these gents. The target of my affection is my current co-writer on Last Stand of Them There Wreckers."

Nick Roche said Jim-Bob's Diner is a reference to The Last Stand of Wreckers co-writer James Roberts.
