Product Description
Get a firm grasp on the entire Transformers: Beast Wars universe with this collection of The Gathering, The Ascending, and The Beast Wars Sourcebook! In The Gathering, Razorbeast and his fellow Maximals prevent rogue Predacon leader Magmatron from raising an army on Earth to wage war against Cybertron. 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!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is AWESOME and a MUST for G1 and BW Transformers Fans....., April 25, 2009

By	James K. Collins "SpiderReilly" (MA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!
