How he got the job was that Sheila Cranna couldn't find Furman in the office one day and so asked Hill's friend Richard Starkings if he knew anybody who could write some text stories for the Annuals. As both men had worked at Harrier Comics, Starkings recommended Hill. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHis most notable stories are the first Christmas story and the hugely influential \"State Games\" story, which established the Decepticons' origins in gladiatorial combat and Megatron as a famous warrior--this idea has since become the default Megatron origin, in large part due to being an influence on Eric Holmes' \u003ci\u003eThe Transformers: Megatron Origin\u003c\/i\u003e (not to mention Dreamwave) which caused Hasbro to latch on. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe almost wrote an origin story about how the \u003ci\u003eTransformers\u003c\/i\u003e had evolved, but editor Ian Rimmer was more interested in Earth-based stories. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe began his career in 1983 working for Marvel Comics UK on the title \u003ci\u003eThe Daredevils\u003c\/i\u003e.
