We are honoured to announce that Simon Furman, one of the most significant contributors to Transformers and its rich mythos, will be joining us for our inaugural convention! 

It really does feel right for somebody who has worked so hard from the Cybertronian's earliest days be here with us to celebrate the bold new era of TFNation. 

We would keep you here all day if we were to list Simon's complete Transformers credits. Much of his work comprises the bedrock of the comics, animation and films we all enjoy today. Simon's writing has stood the test of time and his work is still held in high regard today. He has worked for the successive publishers Marvel, Dreamwave and IDW.

Simon has also lent his comic talents to many other titles including Scream, Thundercats, Alpha Flight, Doctor Who, as well as co-creating Dragon's Claws and of course a certain Freelance Peacekeeping Agent who Marvel keep teasing may return...

In addition to his writing, Simon also served as an editor for Marvel UK and Titan Books.

Away from comics, Simon has been involved in the world of animation from Beast Wars, X-Men: Evolution, Dan Dare to most recently serving as both Head Writer and Script Editor for CITV's The Matt Hatter Chronicles.

Over the course of the weekend, you will have the opportunity to hear more about this storied career from the man himself and in much greater detail.

To keep up with Simon's current work, he maintains a blog over at:

Simon will be signing autographs and selling comics and script packs from Friday 19th until Sunday 21st August 2016 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel at TFNation 2016. We look forward to seeing you there!

In an update to his blog, Simon Furman has posted an entry regarding a stand-along one-shot comic that was going to be called "The Enemy Within" that would have been published by Dreamwave back in late 2004.

"I wanted the story to both pick up on what James and Adam has already established and tie G1 and my War Within series tighter together. The outline (it was never scripted) for ‘The Enemy Within’ (yeah, I know, but it fitted) follows. Enjoy!"

Simon Furman has updated his blog with the tenth entry in his series of scripts from the unfinished Dreamwave Transformers Energon series.  Today's update contains the second half of the outline for the unpublished Transformers Energon issue 35,  ‘Armageddon part 4?.

Back in 2004 Simon Furman was writing the comic book adaptation of Transformers Energon for Dreamwave.  Dreamwave went out of business before the final story arch was completed but now thanks Simon, everyone can find out just what he had in store for the characters.

Simon is posting a blog entry a day on Transformers Energon so the first two entries are up.

Yesterdays blog was entitled Energon, Revisited with todays entry called "Doomsday Redux"

Simon Furman has updated his blog both with a Christmas message for his readers as well as a present in the form of a downloadable script of Transformers Beast Wars Shell Game, issue 1. The story was to tie into the Summer Special Beast Wars story, published by Dreamwave, but never came to be. Eventually the story was reformatted (pardon the pun) into Beast Wars The Gathering.

You can find the article and script here.
