For those that know much about these books:
* It is not an updated or new edition version of Transformers Generations, it's the latest in a series of volumes from the past few years that focus primarily on the current year's toys
* It is all in Japanese (with some English toy names listed too)
* It should cover off all the remaining DOTM toys (Japanese and US) that the 2011 volumes didn't include

I'll be looking to pre-order mine tonight as I had a lot of trouble finding 2011 volume 2 last year.

Oh and the book has an exclusive with it. United Targetmaster Artfire. Maybe people will care now

The Artfire is interesting.

I think HD will be very interested in this once he gets back from his travels ; I'm really wishing I'd decided to pick up Stepper now, as he would've complimented this Artfire figure well IMO - A damn good idea and offering indeed.

I got 2011 volume 2 from eBay in the end. The seller did write his name in the book though . I've got this edition on order with HLJ.

Smart ass :P Furman wrote the comic in it didn't he?

So I was actually going to asK - Do you know if the 2012 has comic content?

[Paulbot]

Yes there's a preview image here of a comic page with second year Pretenders (like Pincher and Doubleheader); to go along with a Pretender themed "Collection Maniax" it seems.
