5.0 out of 5 stars The Transformers bible, 13 Jul 2007
By Mr. Paul Cannon "transforce" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If ever there were a Transformers bible, Transformers: The Ultimate Guide is it.
This is an outstanding book that carefully examines each integral part of the Transformer mythos concisely. For many people this is the first time some of this material may have been seen as unless you are a die-hard collector it would be impossible to have experienced every element of this vast genre.
This book is a labour of love for writer Simon Furman who has been with the Transformers series from the beginning, first putting pen to paper in 1985's comic story The Enemy within, and he hasn't stopped since.
This revised edition covers a huge amount of information in its 152 packed pages.
We begin with detailed illustrations of Cybertron (the Transformers home planet) and Iacon (the capital city), passing through civil war and the Autobots and Decepticon's arrival on Earth.
We then take a look at many of the main characters such as Optimus Prime, Megatron, the Dinobots and Constructicons. All lavishly drawn and presented with their tech specs data.
Furman then takes a look at the cartoon TV series and looks at each episode of Generation 1 seasons 1-4 and the cult Transformers: The Movie.
We are also taken on a journey through vast collection of comics ranging from Marvel UK and US right up until the present day IDW series.
The book covers the Emmy award winning Beast Wars TV series as well as the recent more poorly made Japanese dubbed Robots in disguise, Armada, Energon and Cybertron.
This book is a welcome addition to any bookshelf and is a point of reference for anyone trying to find out a fact about any part of the Transformers universe.
To conclude I was pleased to see the addition of sections on IDW comics and the Alternators and Classic toys for this edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars good comprehensive guide, 2 Oct 2007
By Ms. W. J. Fullard (Redditch UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For all Transformers everywhere this book is a MUST HAVE. It clears up any confusion as to the mythologies and even references as to when this franchise began. Follow the Transformers through over 20 years, through its many reincarnations, series and many characters. From Diacon and Microman created by Japanese toy company TAKARA from designs from HASBRO and GI Joe to Transformers Armada.

The book itself is a thing to admire in itself. The metallic silver book and image of Optimus Prime make this something you want people to see.
