Mark Bristow
From Transformers Wiki
| The name or term "Mark" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Mark (disambiguation). |
Mark Bristow is a colorist for IDW Publishing and has worked on their Megatron Origin and Beast Wars: The Ascending miniseries. A fan-turned-professional, he is also recognized as an accomplished kitbasher.
Among the fandom he is better known for his internet handle, Bodycount, and his notoriously abrasive personality. A fan of the Unicron Trilogy series who loudly disparages pretty much everything else (often apropos of nothing), Bristow is very prone to citing his own opinions as fact and violently losing his temper with anyone who disagrees with him. This lack of composure has gotten him banned from effectively every major online Transformers community, including TFW2005, The Allspark, TFArchive, TFans and this wiki. Which hasn't stopped him from trying to creep back in under different aliases multiple times (though he's always fairly easy to spot).
He's also infamous for claiming to have access to "inside information" (upcoming Hasbro products, in particular), which has been proven (and confirmed) to be a combination of genuine end-of-the-food-chain inside contacts, good guessing and heavily biased wishful thinking at best.
