Generations 2011 Vol 2 Book coming

[Paulbot]

Seibertron's got a report of the second volume of the Transformers Generations book due for release at the end of this month.

They've got a image from a backup comic strip in the book, with the 80s style Marvel colouring seen recently and discussed in this thread, but you can also see it, and other sample pages on the Book's website

The cover shows a certain Autobot spaceship (well it was in the Japanese cartoon) and one of the sample pages has what looks like a prototype of that same big toy, perhaps as a counterpoint to the new Autobot spaceship toy. Perhaps it's the featured toy in the "Maniax" section. Perhaps it's a hint of something yet to be revealed? (Probably not)

A Nemesis? - A Darkside?

[Paulbot]

I was thinking more of an encore performance... but that's wishful thinking.

[Sky Shadow]

One of the themes for the book seems to be Headmasters, so it's perhaps not surprising that the biggest Headmaster would be featured.

[Hursticon]

Ah yes, I've just read that there is a showing of a particular prototype and I think I now get what Paulbot was meaning by encore.

[Paulbot]

As I say wishful thinking. On the one hand: every toy on the cover of the past five books has been on Japanese toy shelves. On the other: that cover image says "Sample" so might not be final.

I've just been flicking through the past few volumes. Sure I can only read the toy names but there's no other printed material as comphrensive of the toys from both markets over the past few years. I'll be buying this without a doubt. I hope they go back and fill the gap from Beast Wars through Cybertron/Galaxy Force one day.

Given the AM Arcee picture (unproduced! Why?!), maybe it'll feature some of the other AM designs they showed at BotCon.
