Buzz Lightyear if he were a math teacher and not an astronaut.

Buzz Dixon (born December 7, 1953) is an American writer best known for his work on the G.I. Joe cartoon, though he also worked on other Marvel/Sunbow projects for Hasbro properties, including My Little Pony, Inhumanoids, Jem & the Holograms and of course Transformers, specifically the Generation 1 cartoon. Dixon created Hector Ramirez, a character that he inserted into several of the above cartoons, thereby—he claims—uniting them into one universe. He also created Cobra-La, whose name he apologizes sincerely for.^[1]

Outside of his work for television, he also did work for Marvel Comics and Eclipse Comics as well as the "Buck Rogers" game for TSR (which is now indirectly owned by Hasbro via Wizards Of The Coast). Dixon also founded Realbuzz Studios in 2005 in an effort to create and publish religiously-themed manga, ^{[2] [3]} but the company soon folded in 2008. ^[4]
