The title "Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book" represents a series of four similar books released by Bendon that, in typical Bendon fashion, sport the same bar code number (suggesting that they were part of the same lot) as well as the same title. However, to the right of the bar code is a small number and letter string that helps identify each individual volume.
The first book has a red and yellow cover and features Heatwave (dinosaur mode), Chase (dinosaur mode), Chief Charlie Burns, and Kade Burns on the front. The string on the back reads "27505-96-AA", and the rear cover features Blades (dinosaur mode) and Boulder (dinosaur mode). What might be a title page has an image of Chase and the title "Ready To Rescue!". A captioned coloring page in the book appears to be a direct reference to the episode Walk on the Wild Side.
The second book has an orange and green cover and features Boulder (dinosaur mode), Blades (dinosaur mode), Graham Burns, and Dani Burns on the front, with Chase and Heatwave (both in dinosaur mode) on the back. The string on back reads "27505-96-BA". A possible title page has an image of Doctor Morocco and the title "Trouble With Technology". The front portion contains coloring pages depicting the bots and Burns responding to a series of tech-related incidents that include a malfunctioning Trex, Frankie's comm tab catching fire, and Mr. Harrison in trouble again.
The third book has a blue and red cover and features Optimus Prime, Boulder, and Heatwave on the front, all in robot mode. The string on back reads "27505-96-CA", and the back cover has both Blades and Chase in robot mode. A possible title page has an image of Heatwave and the title "Everyday Heroes". Two actual stories are present in the captioned coloring pages in the front.
The fourth book has a blue and orange cover and features Blades, Chase, and Bumblebee on the front, all in robot mode. The string on the back reads "27505-96-DA", and the back cover has both Heatwave and Boulder in robot mode. A possible title page has an image of Blades and the title "Land, Air, & Sea". Some of the captioned coloring pages appear to tell stories, but the order is scrambled.
Although some of the games and non-captioned coloring pages are the same between books, none of the captioned coloring pages are shared.
The activities themselves include, but are not limited to:
- generic coloring pages, both with and without captions
- drawing pages in which a person must draw an image in a grid plat using a smaller gridded image as a reference
- "Crack The Code" cypher pages
- connect-the-dots puzzles
- cut-out puzzles
- "Finish The Picture" images in which a person must finish drawing a larger image based on a smaller image
- mazes
- "spot the difference" exercises
- "make a match" exercises
