title="Surrey">Surrey</a>, and had no tertiary education. </p><p>Furman is best known for his work on the <i><a href="/wiki/Transformers_(Marvel_Comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Transformers (Marvel Comics)">Transformers</a></i> comic by <a href="/wiki/Marvel_Comics" title="Marvel Comics">Marvel Comics</a>. Furman took over as the writer of the Marvel US <i>Transformers</i> comic after its earlier writer <a href="/wiki/Bob_Budiansky" title="Bob Budiansky">Bob Budiansky</a> decided he had had enough of the comic. Marvel UK, Furman's employer at the time, invited Budiansky over to the UK, and Furman was chosen as Budiansky's successor over a lunch at <a href="/wiki/Covent_Garden" title="Covent Garden">Covent Garden</a> in <a href="/wiki/London" title="London">London</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Furman started his run in the US comic cautiously at first, but later invented an origin story for the <i>Transformers</i> that involved an ancient struggle between the colossal godlike creator, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Primus_(Transformers)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Primus (Transformers) (page does not exist)">Primus</a>, and his counterpart, the colossal godlike destroyer, <a href="/wiki/Unicron" title="Unicron">Unicron</a>. The latter was borrowed from the <i>Transformers</i> movie, where he appeared with no given backstory (a conflicting origin for Unicron later came in the third season of the original Transformers cartoon series). According to Furman's origin story, The Transformers were a creation of Primus as a warrior race who were to be the last line of defence against Unicron. This origin differs from the third season of the cartoon series, where the Transformers were originally created to be robot servants of the alien <a href="/wiki/Quintesson" class="mw-redirect" title="Quintesson">Quintessons</a>, who often sold them to other races. </p><p>Aside from the creation myth, mythological underpinnings can be found in several of his stories such as the <a href="/wiki/Matrix_Quest" title="Matrix Quest">Matrix Quest</a> storyline, where the <a href="/wiki/Autobot" title="Autobot">Autobots</a> and <a href="/wiki/Decepticon" title="Decepticon">Decepticons</a> search for the <a href="/wiki/Creation_Matrix" class="mw-redirect" title="Creation Matrix">Creation Matrix</a>, a powerful object constructed by Primus. </p><p>Furman's <i>Transformers: Generation 2</i> plot-line in 1993 introduced the characters Jhiaxus and <a href="/w/index.php?title=Liege_Maximo&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Liege Maximo (page does not exist)">Liege Maximo</a>, one of the first Transformers. Liege Maximo had killed the first Prime to steal the Matrix and claimed that the Decepticons descended from him. Since Transformers Generation 2 was cancelled after 12 issues, the Liege Maximo storyline was concluded in the convention exclusive novella <i>Alignment</i>. </p><p>Over ten years later, Furman was brought in by the now-defunct independent comics publisher <a href="/wiki/Dreamwave" class="mw-redirect" title="Dreamwave">Dreamwave</a> to write some of its Transformers comics, including "<a href="/wiki/Transformers:_The_War_Within" title="Transformers: The War Within">The War Within</a>", a six issue prequel set on Cybertron before the Autobots and Decepticons took their battle to Earth. It spawned two sequels – "TWW: The Dark Ages" and "TWW: The Age Of Wrath" (uncompleted). His work on the Armada and Energon titles were also received better than the anime series from which they were based on. Furman was to have continued on with Dreamwave, but its contentious closure resulted in the premature end of the Energon and The War Within titles. </p><p>Furman has released a novella/comic serial, <i>The Omega Point</i>, which was available only at conventions.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
