    It's always nice to see some TF mystery/myth uncovered.

    Now we just need Shout Factory to get in touch with this guy and get permission to release the footage of him in a Season 5 DVD set.

    It was also rerun in various markets until at least 1991- which is when I saw it- usually in marathons surrounding airings of TF:TM on rainy weekend afternoons before we had cable.

    He comes off as a really nice guy in this interview, I think we will see the segments release on DVD, and get a visit from him at Botcon.

    Seriously Jason Jankowski needs to come to this years BotCon. He's been missing out all these years.

    He is the Mara Wilson of this year.

    Glad to see that one of the great mysteries of transformers history finally solved. I would post a link to my site with all 20 episodes of season 5 but the last time i tried to share some of my lucky finds with the fandom on the forum i was given a warning about it.

    Botcon needs to have a big prop replica of that Optimus so fans and Mr. Jansen can take pictures sitting on his hand. Make it so!

    If anyone is interested, I have every single Season 5 Tommy Kennedy episode taped from 1988, including all of the local and national commercials during the show. My Dad had the VCR set on a timer to record them.

    I was thinking the same thing. That face blurring nonsense was annoying but now with this news they wouldn't need to to since he has now been "tracked down."
    Unfortunately I feel it's too late since the seasons that the TK/PM OP was used for were already released a long time ago. :(
