    Simon was on for about 10 minutes, chatted with the presenter about his favourite Transformer (Grimlock), how he came to be involved in Transformers, the rumours of another War Within Series, his personal reaction to the movie, his current and future work, his scriptwriting and furman-isms, his participation in the convention this Sat and the fact that Nick Roche will prob now not be making it:( because of family reasons. Then they played the Goo Goo Dolls 'Before Its Too Late' from the Transformers movie soundtrack. Good interview.

    Couldn't tune station in properly! Is it available as podcast or uploaded anywhere?
    And is anyone going to be recording his talk at the Sub-con this saturday, video or audio?

    Sucks about Nick Roche.

    What was Furman's reaction to the movie? I get the feeling he's under pressure to not speak fully honestly, about it. As the father of a lot of G1 mythos and someone who worked with those who were even moreso, I think he's probably a little sad that more of the comic material didn't make it into the film.

    I don't know. I meet him after a screening in London and he appeared to be really happy with the movie. It didn't seemed forced atall.

    He started the answer by saying he was answering on a personal, rather then a professional manner, and then just said he was happy with what they did and said he wasnt aware they had greenlighted a second and third movie

    Hmm. I wouldn't mind if I got a chance to discuss in detail with him at the 'con. I have a lot of ideas for how not to **** up TF2 he might be interested in. Mainly revolving around Grimlock. So he better listen hehe.

    I wouldn't mind asking him what he would have changed about the movie myself, tbh. I'm sure somebody along the line will be asking for his input in some form for the sequels

    He said they were going to bring him on as consultant in the early days but it sort of fell threw.

    Early TF movie stuff was quite interesting. Starscream actually looked cool for a start. Then Michael Bay came in...

    Hopefully I'll be able to email Simon and talk to him some more...

    Indeed, and I can officially say I now have the tape of the interview, so for those that want it I can assure you it will be up early next week. Apologises for the delay as it was supposed to be up by now but there were one or two technical issues.
