Transformers THe Ultimate GUide

Postby Briggs » Sat Aug 25, 2007 3:30 pm

What are the chances of a newer version of this book being released, do we think? It was written by Furman I believe.

An updated version came out a few weeks back. It goes up to the IDW comics, but the problem with these kinds of books is that they're instantly out of date.

Hmm, really. Does it have a different title that you know of?

It's just called The Ultimate Guide: Updated Edition. With a silver cover.

The first version had very limited information on the Energon tv show, and nothing about Cybertron, the movie or IDW's comics.

The new version still lacks information on Cybertron and the movie, though it does mention the movie.

Also, the photos of the toys in the book are infamously messed up. Toys that are mistransformed, mislabeled, beat up and holding the wrong guns are commonplace.

That's because they were done by a hired photographer, not necessarily someone who knows about TransFormers and how they're "supposed" to be TransFormerd.

I quite like the fact that some (many) of the figures are mistransformed, it adds some humour to the book.

I have the first version, but no pics, from memory, I think a few of the Beasties and the G1/G2 era figures were mistransformed, nothing seriously hilarious, just legs around the wrong way and the such.

So nothing worse than what Hasbro themselves have done in brochures and catalogues of their own.

Man the site is screwy at the moment...

I have now learnt not to click "refresh" when the page doesn't load after hitting 'submit' :grin:

I don't have the book in front of me, but I seem to recall amost a dozen characters depicted holding the same guns - probably those from Hot Spot. On one page they mix up the toys for Bumblebee and Cliffjumper. Hot Spot had his legs extended in vehicle mode. Things like that.
