It's sad that no one ever remembers Bill Mantlo, Ralph Macchio (no, not the Karate Kid) and Jim Salicrup, who were the writers of the original four-issue miniseries for Marvel G1.
Bob Budiansky only started writing the series from issue 5, after the original four-issue miniseries.
And then there's Len Kaminski, who wrote Issue #16 of the Marvel US run, due to Bob having been unable to meet his deadline for that issue on time.
And Steve Parkhouse wrote to the very first Marvel UK story, "Man of Iron", before Simon Furman was ever brought in to write for the comic.
