Basically this is a reprint of the Dreamwave version that was released in 2004. It does offer a wonderfully detailed listing of each Generation 1 bot, as well as gestalts, micromasters, targetmasters, headmasters and pretenders. Each listing covers Personality/Bio, Weapons and Abilities, Weaknesses as well as pictures of robotic and alternate mode/modes.

However:

When compared to my original Dreamwave copy, the majority of the artwork color is pale. While still colorful, the original is bright and vibrant. The colors on these pages seem dull. This color issue is consistent throughout the book, not just a page here or there as with the first volume. Still this is perfectly usable for reference as well as to save your original copy (if you have one) wear and tear. And if you do not have the original version, you but probably would not realize the color problem.

Nitpicking:

While this does have a character index in the back for all characters included in this volume, it is lacking the "covers both volumes" index that is in the back of the Dreamwave versions. The lack of the multi volume index is disappointing for me as I find it an extremely nice feature so no matter which volume I pick up, I have the complete index for every character detailed in the books and don't have to switch books when trying to remember if a certain bot really exhists or not.

Ultimately:

Especially for the price being in the mid-teens, it's worth the money, especially if you don't have the original release. And recently the original Dreamwave releases are selling for double, triple and even four times the mid-teen price, thus making this version an even more reasonable bargain.

This help me remember tha transformers that I watch in the 80's. It was worth the money if the book is under $20 dollars not any more
