Transformers Generation One: More Than Meets the Eye

(Dreamwave, 2004)
™ and ©2004 Hasbro
Official Guidebook for Transformers: Generation 1.

Heroic Autobots; Evil Decepticons; Micromasters and Dinobots; Pretenders and Sharkticons; Omnibots, Predacons, and Insecticons: these are just some of the many types of characters populating the world of Cybertron, home to a race of sentient robots with the ability to transform themselves into various types of machinery, including cars, weaponry, tanks, jets, even full–size military installations.

With their line of comics revitalizing interest in the once–popular toy franchise, the creative forces at Dreamwave thankfully realized exactly how big the Transformers Universe really was, and developed this handy A–Z guidebook, providing technical statistics and personal bios for hundreds of characters (with an identifying quote to mark each personality), as well as each character’s niche in the “grand scheme.” Though it won’t give away any major secrets, the series should help readers tell the difference between Megatron and Ultra Magnus, and Omega Supreme from Vector Sigma.
