As history goes for Transformers, in the week leading up to Thanksgiving in America (4th Thursday of November) in 1983, Legend and Hall of Fame inductee Bob Budiansky created the foundation of Transformers Lore.... in a rather rushed manner (of just a week for the first 28 characters of Gen1).

More of the story can be found here, but in the lead up to the 30th Anniversary of the release of Transformers to the world, this week is the 30th Anniversary of when most of the iconic characters were first brought to life in the mind of their creator. (Budiansky, not Primus )
