I've heard there are a lot of errors in the book, though. Wrong factions, badly done alternate modes, and even missing helmets. Still, definitely going to check it out if I see it in a bookstore.

WHAT HAPPENED TO BLIGHT??!!

All these blatant errors makes it seem rushed, but the fact that it doesn't cover anything recent makes it seem like it got delayed. The new Kreons Misfire and Highbrow have the wrong faction symbols, and Sea Spray's looking that way too (going by his CG art), which all makes you wonder if something happened with the team behind Kre-O or something.
Nothing happened. "Blight" is still available to use for regular TF ation figures, as it was used for the Prime Beast Hunters Cyberverse Legion toy.KirbyForce1 wrote:Bolt?

As for why it isn't used here, it's because Construction toys fall into a different category from action figure toys, and so different laws apply to them. While Hasbro could use the name "Blight" for a TF figure, they evidently cannot use it for a Kre-O construction toy due to it not being available for that category.
Likewise, look at the name next to Bolt's: "Bombshell". Notice how that name seems to have falling by the wayside in recent years for the action figure TFs? It's because Hasbro doesn't own that name for the action figure TFs and is why the name "Hardshell" has come into play for all the recent Bombshell toys. However, the name is evidently available for Hasbro to use in their construction toyline since we see it being used here.
Ergo, some names can be used in some places, and some can't.

I was disappointed in the incompleteness of the book as well as some of the errors (such as Inferno being listed as a Predacon instead of an Autobot). No pics of the larger sets, no Kre-o wave 4 or wave 5 Micro Changers, the latest Micro Changer combiners are excluded, etc. I was hoping the book would be a up to date book but it's like it stopped covering products as of last year unfortunately.
