Aaron C Archer a veteran Toy Designer, Podcast Host, independent comic artist, and concept designer.
From 1998-2013 I was Transformers Designer, Creative lead and content planning partner across all connected media (feature films, toy, video game, publishing, the ride, and animation projects). I’ve designed hundreds of Transformers toys creating everything from Beast Wars Fuzors, Unicron trilogy, Masterpiece, to Alternators with the wonderful Tomy / Takara robot designing Masters. "Chances are you've played with a toy I helped create." While at Hasbro/Kenner (1995-2015) I worked on a variety of other brands including Star Wars Ep1, GI JOE, Kenner Batman segments, Alien Resurrection, Jurassic Park 3, Action-Man, Bey-Blade, B-Damon, Medabot, Littlest Pet Shop, Scoob and many other classic toy-lines.
I have been discussing my career in toys and the creative process in a podcast format called the TOYARMADA. Discussing the toy creation process with the people that were there.
I continue to work in the toy and entertainment industry with freelance and commission projects. You can see me making insightful industry commentary on the toy documentary THE TOYS THAT MADE US on NETFLIX. (Star Wars, GI Joe, Transformers, TBD episodes)
I am an active CHAKAN THE FOREVERMAN illustrator, working with Creator RAK Rob Kraus on four CHAKAN monster novellas and toy projects (see shop for details) to date.
I have been working with professional artist/writer friends on a several projects we will launch soon in 2023 (Goal)....
