Notes
[edit]- These books are narrated entirely in present-tense, a necessity of requiring the reader to make active choices.
- Unlike some multipath adventures which are told in the second-person to indicate that you are actually a human character physically present in the story, these books are told mostly in third-person, usually just switching over to second-person when you must make a decision for one or more characters. The only other places where the narrator regularly switches to second-person are some of the negative outcomes, for the express purpose of brow-beating you for getting the Autobots killed with your idiotic choices.
- The covers are a mix of package and toy art, with at least one character in something close to their box or card art pose.
- The interior black & white illustrations also copy some package art (especially Prowl's), but are predominately some of the most purely toy-based art in any official media.
- In book #3, this even applies to Jetfire! In robot mode!
- Since the interior art is black & white, please do not cite parallels with the colored covers in RIRFIB/FIRRIB debates. Some much stranger issues concerning the physical nature of the cassettes come up in book #6, sending any such speculation flying right out the window. In jet mode. Just be happy assuming Rumble and Frenzy are whatever color you wish.
- The first six books, representing the pre-Movie era (books #7-9 are clearly Movie or post-Movie era), were also sold as a box set. The outer sleeve is mostly red, and uses a cropped version of Battle Drive's cover art on both sides.
