Transformer talk.

If you'd like to hear me being grilled for an hour by a pair of fans from the UK about Transformers, TMNT, Star Trek, and other exciting chitchat and behind-the-scenes stuff, click here.

Dude! I have a "Doctor Who" connection!

...Aside, that is, from putting the phrase "Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow" into virtually every TV series  I've written since 1978* and having a bunch of Decepticons running around screaming "Exterminate!" in an episode of Transformers.

According to this entry in the Transformers Wiki, the BBC sound effect for the Dalek control room was used in one of my Transformers episodes!

I'm such a hopeless Doctor Who geek that this discovery completely made my day.


"Are you aware that we've been making threats to a test pattern all this time!?"


* Okay, I didn't use it in "Zorro" or "Conan & The Young Warriors," but it is in most of them.

Botcon

I'll be on a panel of Transformers writers at Botcon tomorrow (Sunday the 31st) in Pasadena along with my good friend Bryce Malek, and my archenemy Flint Dille. (Actually, Flint's a friend too; I just always wanted to have an archenemy.)

I probably should have posted that exciting news a few days ago. I post it now in order to drive the blog entry directly below a little closer to oblivion.
