Published by Tarkus via the Zhejiang Gongshang University Press, this looks to be a fully accredited reprint of the book.
At first I was expecting a KO reprint, like the Transformers Generations Chinese reprint, that was available a few years ago for those of us who couldn't afford the original or the deluxe versions.
However, after perusing the credits page, the original Million Publishing book is credited as well as being full of HasbroTM and copywriting info.
The page count matches exactly, so no info has been lost in this copy.
By all accounts, this is as legit as its going to get any time soon.

Thanks!

I can't tell you guys how happy i was that i found this.
It was one of the last few Million Publishing/ HeroX books i was missing; I was NOT paying the 100 plus most people were asking for a copy.
The page count and photos are the same so nothing lost in this addition.
Hopefully my fellow Seibertronians will take advantage and put this copy in their collection.

Same contents. Completely worth it if you have been eyeballing the original copy but unwilling to shell out into the triple digits.
Great copy to add to the shelves guys!
