highly recommended

great for new-ish fans

If you don't know anything about transformers, or you know a little and want to know more, then this is a good buy for you. It's packed with lots of information and detailed illustrations, which means it's not a labor to read it, but it's also not a picture-book. If you are a real transformers aficionado, then you're probably not going to learn anything from this. However, that doesn't mean it won't be a good thing to have around just for reference/entertainment.
Overall, a good purchase.
PS--The pages, printing, binding, and hard cover are all extremely good quality, a lot of care was put into the production of this volume.

Pretty comprehensive title

This book does a nice job of covering the Transformers universe, from comics to small screen to toys to fan fiction. Long-time fans will appreciate the G1 homages, a look at the UK comics and G.I. Joe cross-overs. New fans will appreciate that the Beast Wars and Beast Machines continuities are also covered.

The only things not included are the 2007 live-action movie or a comprehensive look at the several Japanese anime series. If you're interested in those, this book is not for you.

The graphics are a nice conglomeration of comic art, screencaps, new art and actual pictures of toy lines. The book covers general storylines in the many comics and animated series, including the many continuity problems that arise. However, this is not a catalog of every Transformer character out there. If you're looking for a bio on your favorite character, you probably won't find it in this book. The main characters highlighted are Optimus Prime and Megatron.

The only shortcoming the book might have for some is its preference for the Furman continuity, which is presented as gospel. If you're not a Furman fan, or are unfamiliar with his work, it might be confusing.

Continuity problems aside, this is a fun product. Worth having for fans new and old.

If you like Transformers, this book is a must!

DK consistently puts out awesome books. I was unsure about ordering this book online, I wanted to SEE the pictures. But, when I saw the DK symbol in the corner, I didn't hesistate to order it. We weren't disappointed. My son LOVES this book. A must have for your Transformer fan.

Great

I was pretty new to the Transformers universe and am so glad I purchased this book. I learned everything there is to know about the franchise up until Armada. Recommended.

Transformers: The Ultimate Guide is a detailed look at the fantastic world of these mechanical marvels. Follow each character's history and witness the amazing evolution of the Transformers, from physical structure and weaponry to personalities, alliances, and important battles. Detailed illustrations show exactly how each character "transforms" from warrior robot to high-powered vehicle. Special feature spreads cover all aspects of the Transformers' world and include specially commissioned maps and detailed city plans of their home planet of Cybertron, descriptions of the giant space ark in which the Transformers traveled to Earth, major wars in Transformers history, and much more.
