This book (Transformers) is just a shortened version of the movie - without the songs. It has the same characters, the baddies: the evil Decepticons - Megatron, Frenzy, Starscream, Blackout, Barricade, Scorponok, Brawl and finally Bonecrusher. The other main characters are the noble Autobots, or otherwise known as the good guys; they are Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Ironhide and, last but not least, Jazz. All of the robots used to live on a planet called Cybertron where there was war. They could all turn into different cars and Bumblebee belonged to an adult called Sam Witwicky. The Hasbro Company wonderfully rewrote this story. Rating and Recommendation: I would rate it 7/ 10 and I would positively recommended `Transformers' to anyone who enjoyed the film as much as I did.
