Forgive me if this is in the wrong forum. It's toy related even though it is a book. Anyway, I just picked up Mark Bellomo's amazing guide to all things G1 Transformers. This is more than I could ever ask for in a research material. My question is, however does such a guide exist for TF's outside of G1? I'd love to see this continued into G2 and all the way up through Beast Wars, RID, and the like. Any suggestions?

To my knowledge, there isn't one other than certain websites - and most of those don't have pricing guides.

I also would NOT trust a price guide for anything anymore. In these days of Ebay, prices can vary as much as 50% - 150% in just a few months.

Thanks for the info. Although I should probably clarify that the pricing aspect of the guide isn't what I was looking for. The identifying TF's aspect, along with tech specs, and bios on the figures is what I'm really looking for.

Well, if you don't mind a website instead of a book, there's this page:

http://www.tfu.info/

All the way up to current figs, and each page includes a robot mode shot, head closeup, shots from the comic and / or cartoon (if any), alt mode(s) shot(s), accessories, Bio (if any), Tech Specs (if any), as well as a list of when it was released, any repaints or remolds (or what it's a repaint or remold of), any times the name was re-used, and more. Note that any figure that does not have a toy (like G1 Arcee or half the G1 Comic Wreckers) will not be listed - it''s about the toy, first.

Oh, and it includes Go-Bots and Rock Lords, too, though not any other line like the Convertors or what have you. And not all of the Rock Lords.

There are a COUPLE gaps, but it's otherwise remarkably complete.
