Darren Jamieson

Darren Jamieson is a British Transformers fan who wrote a comic called "The Beast Within". Sadly, Hasbro UK approved the comic and allowed Metrodome to include it with its Season 2 Part 2 DVD set of the Generation 1 cartoon.

Jamieson also operates the UK-centric Transformers fansite TheTransformers.net.

So you like your stories, comics and movies to be explained to you before you begin. You like what is termed as an 'info dump' so that you have all of the facts laid out before you at the outset, rather than be tasked with working things out as the story unfolds. You like 'by the numbers' story telling. Luckily, you're in the minority.Darren "TheTF.net" Jamieson explaining why writing an incoherent story is supposed to be a "challenge" for intelligent readers, "Anyone afraid of the Dinobot combiner?", TFW2005, September 2009.

Jamieson was also responsible for Maverick Entertainment's release of Transformers Season 1 on DVD. Maverick's Mike Diprose had intended to release random episodes of Generation 2 until Jamieson convinced him otherwise. Jamieson wrote many of the special features on the UK DVDs released by both Maverick Entertainment and Metrodome, including the quizzes and character profiles.

Jamieson owns the domain name transformersthemovie.com and was approached by Paramount Pictures before the release of Transformers (film), offering to purchase the domain. Jamieson refused. Jamieson was then the target of a smear campaign from Don Murphy who instructed his stooges to 'send some pork' towards his website, TheTransformers.net. Murphy claimed Jamieson was stealing from DreamWorks by attempting to cash in on the movie, despite having owned the domain name since 2001.
