The Energon Pub

So I finally shipped my "loot" from HLJ this past week, which arrived yesterday. I was really looking forward to this new book. These Million Publishing Transformers books are absolutely amazing. And yet, I was extremely underwhelmed by this edition. Normally, I learn something from these books, but I don't think I learned anything new about older Transformers this time around. The book also lacked the very handy comparisons of the Takara Tomy product alongside an inset of the Hasbro product, which has always been helpful with identifying variants that I might have missed or wasn't aware of. This book seemed "rushed" to me compared to previous issues. Anyone else underwhelmed by this particular issue over previous ones?

I wonder if it has anything to do with Million Publishing re-branding to Hero X? Thought I'd heard that had caused delay/rushing with this book to get it out but of course, I can't find a source on that anymore.
