Bought one from Blacktown target today. Had a browse through it as I was on the train afterwards and was getting a headache trying to read the foreword; but flicking through the book, it seems to be targetting the 'general Joe average' audience and assuming that people know nothing about Transformers. Which is fair enough, but I think for fans like me, it doesn't really tell me much that I didn't know before. The only new thing I learned from it was the "Blaster" prototype for Microman that would basically be Soundwave as a radiocassette player (instead of a walkman).
The Easter Eggs are nice. Overall I'm quite happy with the book, it's a neat reference book, but I think people who are less Transformers savvy might get more out if it (as they would be the target audience anyway). So I'd highly recommend it for people with a relatively lesser knowledge of TF history and lore, just to get you up to speed... but for the rest of us: well, the book isn't shrink wrapped, so feel free to browse through it before making a final purchase decision.
It's a good book to show to
Heathens non-transfans when they come around.
