Guest Announcement: Michael Charles Hill
Michael Charles Hill
We are pleased to announce Michael Charles Hill will be joining us for our Nov. 16th show. Mr. Hill wrote episodes of many of our favorite cartoons including: Centurions, Challenge of the Go-bots, COPS, Dragon’s Lair, Garbage Pail Kids, Jem, My Little Pony, Robocop, Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs, Sailor Moon, Space Adventure Cobra, Space Usagi, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles……but is probably best know for being a writer/producer on both GI Joe and Transformers. Mr. Hill created Cold Slither (which has gotten a lot of attention this year), and also wrote the song (that we all have playing in our heads) as well as the Toys R Us exclusive “Special Missions: Brazil” story, and the Capt. Claymore character that came with it. He also wrote all of the PSA’s that appeared at the end of each show, helping to mold us into the people we are today! For Transformers, he created the Autobot bounty hunter, Devcon, as well as Slizardo (as seen in the new Energon Universe comic Void Rivals), Bosch, Lord Gyconi, as well as Starscream’s Ghost, and the origin for the Combaticons/Bruticus. Mr. Hill also served as editor on projects for such major comic companies such as Marvel, DC, and Disney.
