The official Twitter account and Facebook page of American cartoon writer David Wise announced on Wednesday that Wise passed away on Tuesday, March 3 due to lung cancer.

David Wise has written the scripts for a number of American animated series, including Batman: The Animated Series, over 70 episodes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and the original 1984-1987 Transformers. He wrote 15 episodes for Transformers — the most episodes by any single writer — including the three-part finale The Rebirth. He also wrote episodes for He-Man, Mighty Orbots, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, and Mighty Ducks.

For Doctor Who fans, he wrote one episode for Big Finish's Gallifrey series. Have they acknowledged his passing?

A couple of my favourite Wise interviews, starting with what I consider the most influential to me and my writing

Absolutely adored G1 Transformers growing up.
I Collected the Marvel UK comic for most of it's run, and have great memories of watching the original series in the summer holidays when it aired during Wacaday on TV-AM in the mid 80's.

Very interesting videos, RIP David Wise.

I asked them. See email extract below.

Hello ---- -

Sadly, he only worked on that one story for us.

We did indeed publish an acknowledgement, though, via Twitter. You can find it here: https://twitter.com/bigfinish/status/1235332420322439169


He will be missed, I'm sure.

Best regards,

Karen
