TFNation have announced the next guest for TFNation 2018. Joining the existing guest lineup is the fan-favorite Transformers comic writer, James Roberts!
James Roberts got his start as a part of the Transmasters UK community, even penning his own fan novel, Eugenesis. His big break has come with IDW Publishing’s line of Transformers comics and a trilogy of loved Transformers books: Last Stand of the Wreckers, More than Meets the Eye, and Lost Light. Last Stand of the Wreckers, co-authored with fellow Transmasters UK alumni Nick Roche, was a massive hit that drove him the darker side of a massive galactic war, as well as propelling obscure characters like Overlord, Ironfist / Fisitron, and Rotorstorm to greater levels of popularity. Such was the popularity of the series that James was given an ongoing series to write, More than Meets the Eye, which has garnered many awards as a series as well as for James himself personally, and has become a darling in some parts of the fandom for how well it develops the characters. His latest work, Lost Light, is a continuation of More than Meets the Eye which continues to excite month on month, as well as garnering further awards. James will be available to meet attendees, sign autographs, and sell scripts throughout the three day run of TFNation from 17 – 19 August 2018.
TFNation 2018 will be taking place over the weekend of 17-19 August 2018, at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole in Birmingham in England. James Roberts will be joining fellow guests musician Stan Bush and voice actor D.C. Douglas, with many more guests yet to be revealed! Check out the TFNation homepage for more information.

A regular guest for the past two years, and a staple name in the new Transformers lore from IDW, we're proud to announce James Roberts' presence at TFNation 2018.
As many current IDW creators, Roberts was a member of the Transmasters UK fan community way back in the day of early Marvel comics. He has been a fan wordsmith ever since, and with All Hail Megatron #15 (2009) and Last Stand of the Wreckers(2010), both next to Nick Roche, he has really made his mark on the Cybertronian universe.
Currently behind IDW Publishing's Lost Light series next to a number of artists – but mostly Jack Lawrence – and risen to fan-favourite with the series' predecessor More Than Meets The Eye, Roberts has a streak for the dark, the political, cult science-fiction, TV shows, and old New Wave & Britpop music.
He will be signing autographs, breaking hearts, and selling scripts at TFNation 2018.
