Incredibly happy. Transformers was not something I was interested in per se, but I knew that the audience that were reading the comics were terribly interested, and very young obviously. Then about ten years later I started getting invites to conventions, because those young guys and girls had found themselves with student loans, which they were quite happy to spend on all kinds of things they shouldn't have been spending them on.

I suddenly found myself one of the favoured gang of artists from the UK round the Transformers. It was really nice because I knew how that felt, because obviously Doctor Who had had that effect on me. Also I worked for a couple of years with William Shatner, and I was a big Star Trek Kirk fan so that was a terrific kick to me, so I can understand all that falling in love with a subject.

It's interesting to see it coming around again. I work on Thunderbirds as well, that comes around every seven to eight years. It's a sort of mini-generation, just when the older brothers and sisters are throwing their toys out the young ones take it up. I'm sure it will just come back and back and back.
