Robert "Bob" Fletcher Wycoff (23 August 1922 – 5 April 2021; age 98), better known simply as "Robert" or "Bob Fletcher", designed the costumes used in the first four Star Trek films. He started out in the Star Trek franchise when he was brought in by Director Robert Wise in March 1978 for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, thereby replacing Star Trek: The Original Series veteran William Ware Theiss, who hitherto held the position. (The Making of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, p. 124) He earned Saturn Award nominations from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films for his work on all four films, winning his fourth (for Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home). Starfleet uniforms based on his designs were also used in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, and Star Trek Generations as well as in scenes for Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager.
Fletcher was also responsible for the "look" given to the Klingons and Vulcans in the Star Trek films, elements of which have been used in almost every subsequent Star Trek series, including the Klingon cranial ridges that were first adopted in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. In addition, Fletcher designed the full set of rank pins used in Star Trek II and beyond. Paramount obtained several design patents based on Fletcher's work, where he is listed as the "inventor" of the design.

A single movie credit, prior to The Motion Picture, was Sam Peckinpah's 1970 western
