Talk:Michael Halperin

It's not really Wiki-able but I'm thinking more and more that Halperin was a key creator on the line before Hanna-Barbera got involved. Escape to Earth is basically THE template for all GoBots media with only slight tweaks for Challenge, Robo Machines, Machine Men and so forth. And the names of the first year's characters at least are VERY MOTU - puns, ordinary words spelt in fantastical ways and/or with random punctuation inserted, while the "double bluff" of some of the catalogue profiles (e.g. Dozer isn't called Dozer because he's a bulldozer but because he likes to doze) are just like some of the early MOTU characterisations too. I would bet my house that Halperin was involved in whatever passed for a bible in the early franchise. Carry-All (talk) 10:47, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
