A sad loss to the industry. He will be missed.

Thats a shame - his art was good on the US run. {cant blame him for incorrect art work on Headmaster - he was told to draw the wrong characters in the wrong places. ie headmaster partners on the first page}

Balls! I just came across the news elsewhere, literally in the last minute.  He deserves a place in TF history, being the original comic artist, and a fine shift it was too. *salutes* -Ralph |

Always a shame when a talented chap is lost to us.
I enjoyed his work both on Transformers and elsewhere.

I just realised. He was also responsible for giving us Krunix!

With this news I suggest we put in an obituary column for him in this years TMUK fanzine for AA2009.

Ralph has already made the suggestion that we dedicate the fanzine to him.

That's great. The passing of an icon to the world of TF comics should not be ignored at a TF convention.

Even if it's an icon most fans are oblivious to.
Glad I did my contributions to the AA mag cover true-to-the-toy now. If Gears has yet to be drawn, he should be done with his little head, as seen in the Ark crew roll-call in #1 (and 'And There Shall Come a Leader').

I think UK fans are a bit more savvy to the folks who worked on the comics than fandom in general.
That's a good idea about Gears.

Ralph's ego must be stopped... no matter the cost!
