But in The Ascending, Magmatron, now a disembodied entity, existing out of time and space, is witness to Cybertron's unchecked descent into chaos and madness, all of which is a prelude to its complete and utter destruction! Powerless to directly affect this terrifying apocalypse, Magmatron's last, desperate recourse is to try and bring his greatest enemy, Razorbeast, together with fellow Maximals Lio Convoy and The Pack. Whatever happens will determine the fate of both Cybertron and the Earth! Also included in this special collection is the entire Beast Wars Sourcebook, an in-depth look at the characters that inhabit the Beast Wars universe - bios, weaknesses, abilities, and more are presented alongside vibrant renditions by some of Transformers most revered artistic talents!

This review is from: Transformers: Beast Wars Omnibus (Paperback)
This book ROCKS. Before I get to the really good stuff, this book combines three excellent books previosly published but at an extremely good price! Only $25! VERY good buy! This is well worth the price.
Not only that but some additional narration text is inserted in certain parts to help the story transition better. These sections are when new Beast Warriors are being announced in The Gathering #1 and the Epilog sections at the end of The Gathering #2 are rewritten to indicate which faction camp the scene transitioned to. This collection includes Beast Wars The Gathering, Ascending, and The Sourcebook with Glossary. The Glossary entries are renumbered to match the Omnibus page count. The book is very well done. The coloring is also embellished, making everything look richer. There is an accurate order to read the profiles. I've made a G1/BW timeline utilizing the Glossary and profile entries. It's long; 65 pages. I posted it on a message board and fellow posters loved it. If anyone wants it, send me an email. If you love G1 and BW, you MUST buy this book!

Must read for all Beast Wars Fans..,

This review is from: Transformers: Beast Wars Omnibus (Paperback)
I was a hardcore Beast Wars fan as a kid and saw every episode. I even purchased the whole Dvd Set of all 3 seasons plus the Beast Machines. I stumbled across this Comic at a Barnes and Noble. I flipped through the pages and was floored at all these additional story lines I never knew existed.. I knew I could get it a lot cheaper here and I ended up purchasing it through Amazon for half the price. This is basically a second story line to The Beast Wars that plugs in all those other Japanese toys you always saw at the toy store that were never in the Tv show like Razor Beast (the warthog). It gets confusing at first but it all connects at the end. Amazing artwork and colors! Brought me back to my childhood. This Omnibus has all 12 Comics put together, so you dont have to worry about finding all of them via Comic Store and/or ebay. For all you Beast Wars people out there, GET THIS! No joke..
One minus to this whole thing was the packaging.. The cover is laminated and came with some scuffs.. Wasnt a big deal since I did not purchase it for the cover.. Insides were perfect and that is all that matters.

This would be a great gift for any Beast Wars fan. Contrary to the television series, the stories included focus more on the side characters you only see portrayed as action figures. This gives a new breath of life for your figures, and because practically every character is represented in some way or form, the Beast Wars toy collector will find something new to like. It is particularly refreshing that the Japanese Beast Wars characters were given such a strong focus.
The actual plot itself is rather well written and it goes without saying Don Figueora's art is really fantastic. After finishing the story, you'll probably leaf through the individual pages, spotting minor little details and characters that you didn't catch the first time round. The Beast Wars Sourcebook included is fun, but is infamous for having a good number of errors. Luckily a lot of them have been fixed, although the unfixable parts remain bad. Nevertheless, it is a fun encyclopedia, and a good addition to this collection. In fact, considering the price of this set, I'm more inclined to see the Sourcebook as icing on the cake. Overall, a highly recommended set.
