He not only wrote on Transformers but also Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Mighty Ducks, Batman: The Animated Series, Buck Rogers, Wonder Woman, He-Man, Mighty Orbots and Star Trek: The Animated Series. Basically if you grew up in the 80’s and 90’s he was some how part of your childhood.

Thank you David Wise for making our childhood’s more entertaining. Our thoughts go out to his friends and family at this time of grief. If it brings them any comfort, his work will not be forgotten.
