As a kid, I didn’t have regular access to comics. I don’t have any life changing stories to share with you about Budiansky’s work. Another epic Transformers story of good vs. I, on the other hand prefer to see Budiansky’s last issue as I did when I was a child. With all of this Transformers work under his belt, it’s easy for one to see how his last penned issue of Transformers could be viewed as a writer venting his frustrations. as well as the Transformers Universe books and the movie adaptation comics. On top of that, the guy ended up writing almost all of the first 55 issues. As an editor, writer and even a penciler at Marvel Comics, Budiansky was a very busy man when he was asked to come up with names and back stories for most of these Transformer alien robots. His top five books will be posted just after Sean’s.īob Budiansky is largely credited as the man who breathed life into these transforming figures, and rightfully so. Tomorrow, I’ll be putting up Sean’s thoughts on Budiansky so everyone can take in a different view of his work.Īnd if that wasn’t enough, I’ve also asked my good friend and cohost of the TransMissions Podcast, Charles to do the same thing. His enthusiasm for me to write this post prompted me to ask him to do the same thing. One of my readers who has been encouraging me to do this is Sean McCarthy. I’m even more taken back that I’ve gotten requests to talk about Budiansky’s run of Transformers when I got to this point in the comic reviews.

I’ve been flattered that so many people have been reading my reviews of these comics. Building upon the ground work that Budiansky left behind, Furman takes the story to new and different highs. The man’s involvement from the beginning of the series now ends and Marvel UK writer, Simon Furman respectfully takes over. At this point my review of the classic Marvel Transformers comics, we have come to the end of Bob Budiansky’s writing for the series.
