Simon Furman

If even Swoop's toy is tiny next to Simon Furman, what chance do we have?

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.

Furman enjoys drinking Corona.

Furman generally pushes the comic continuities as the "true" storyline while often denouncing the cartoon as a "false story", rather than acknowledging it as a separate continuity.

Unicron Trilogy continuity

The fleshy being 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.
