Another Beast Wars writer has passed this year - (Dorothy Catherine) DC Fontana, at the age of 80.

She is better known for her work in the Star Trek universe, as she only wrote one Transformers cartoon episode - Crossing of the Rubicon (the episode in the third season that saw Blackarachnia become a Transmetal, and a permanent Maximal, with the removal of her Predacon shell program).

That episode of Beast Wars aired 20 years ago!
