    I met him a couple times in my brief time at Hasbro. He seemed like a genuinely kind man.

    Rest in Peace Mr. Goldner. 'Till all are one.

    Wow, the medical leave thing only happened two days ago. My opinion of the man himself may not have been the brightest but...shit, cancer is an awful way to go for anybody.

    Horrible news. Best wishes to the family during this difficult time. I only got to see him from a few behind the scenes videos and interviews across various TF media, but he always seemed passionate about the brand and excited for what was coming up at the time.

    Rest in peace.

    ‘Til all are one. RIP Mr Goldner :( 
    He is one with the Allspark now

    The vast majority of my time collecting Transformers was under his guidance

    Thank you for your contribution in making all of our days brighter within this sometimes silly world of plastic toys. May you find the peace that you so richly deserve after this long and private battle.
