3.0 out of 5 stars Transformers: The Movie Guide, Aug 17 2007
By 
Assilem (Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Transformers Movie Guide (Hardcover)
I was so excited when I found this book. It has some interesting specs about the Transformers characters (all of which are in point form). The pictures are full color and show excellent detail. It even covers the sidekicks, like Frenzy.

On the downside, it does omit some key characters. I was heartily disappointed to find Iron Hide was omitted. The "interesting facts" that are written here-and-there about the characters, are no more in depth than what you would find on the toys.

I truly hope that there is a better book out there about the Art of the Transformers Movie. In the past, there have always been books on the subject. Even Winnie the Pooh has several books. I do like this book, but can't help being disappointed as well. I want something that took the movie 'seriously'.

This review is from: Transformers Movie Guide (Hardcover)
Not terrible, but this book completely omits Bonecrusher, Brawl/Devastator, Ironhide and Starscream, not to mention the humans, Sector 7, and so on. Disappointing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Less Than Less Than Meets the Eye, July 12 2007
By Gregory Fam - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Transformers Movie Guide (Hardcover)
I have to say that I was very excited to see this book on the shelves. I grabbed it, bought it, and ripped open the wrapping to feel like i'd been conned.

1. The back cover promises in depth coverage. There is simply too little information on any of the individual robots in the movie. Not worthy of DK! (Think the visual dictionaries for the Star Wars saga)

2. Not ALL the transformers are in the book! My favourite Decepticon Bonecrusher was not in there! My favourite Autobot Ironhide was not in there! Starscream wasn't in there, for crying out loud!

3. I have the sense that this book was prepared way ahead of the movie, and that the people writing it weren't privy to information in order to prevent leaks of the movie and steal its thunder. Still for DK it's unforgiveable.

I'd have put it at one star. Still the visuals included are nicely done, although I would have preferred photorealistic art like DK is famous for. And I had to discount one star for my own stupidity: not opening the wrapping before buying :-)

2.0 out of 5 stars Less than meets the eye, July 12 2007
By Chris Black - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Transformers Movie Guide (Hardcover)
I cannot, in good conscience recommend this book.
It has outdated mid-production photos and worst of all is missing info on some of the robots.
Here are the ones NOT INCLUDED in the book: Starscream, Brawl/Devastator, Bonecrusher and Ironhide.
Why they did not include Ironhide is beyond me!
One thing you can tell after the most cursory of glances is that this book was written a very long time ago...many months before the movie release...but I suppose that couldn't be helped.

I saw the reviews but thought what the heck after all I didn't spend a lot of money on it. It was nice reading about the character modes strengths' weakness's ect. However its definitely missing some characters. No Ironhide seriously.....that's just wrong. Not to mention SS being missing. Also wish it developed more on the bots personalities since it was not present (IMHO) in the first film. It seems like they just threw stuff together. Nice to have just to say "I have it," for a hard core fan but for those hoping to learn more...skip it. Or get it on sale for cheap.
