	'''''More Than Meets The Eye''''' are series of profile books published by [[Dreamwave Productions]] in 2003 and 2004 that introduced readers to every character within the continuities of [[Generation 1]] and ''[[Armada]]'', and planned the same for ''[[Energon (franchise)\|Energon]]''. The series was written by [[James McDonough]] and [[Adam Patyk]].

	~~This series also possesses above-average strength and intelligence.~~

	~~===''More Than Meets The Eye'' (G1)===~~
	~~{{main\|More Than Meets The Eye (G1)}}~~

	Originally conceived to be a 4-issue series, ''Transformers Profile Book One'' was scheduled to be released in December, 2002. After a name change and a delay of over four months, this eight-issue series profiled all characters that were released by [[Hasbro]] between [[1984]] and 1991, as well as a few characters that appeared only within [[Marvel Comics]]/[[Sunbow Productions]] animated projects between 1984 and 1987. The series also introduces new content in order to establish parameters for stories within the Dreamwave continuity. It should also be noted that a number of personalities were created from scratch for the [[Micromaster]]s, many of whom were little more than toys and names prior.

	One volume, eight issues; published April–December, 2003. The series was also released as a 2-volume trade paperback edition in December 2004, which included introductions by the authors, and bonus artwork, though ''not'' the intro and conclusion story.

	# [[Aerialbot (G1)\|Aerialbot]]s through [[Combaticon]]s. Also contains a one-page intro story in which [[Megatron (BW)\|''Beast Wars'' Megatron]] (or the Dreamwave universe's version of him) gains access to [[Vector Sigma]], with the intent of reading all these files.

	~~====Collections====~~
	Dreamwave released two TPBs of the entire collection. Volume 1 contained issues 1-4, Volume 2 contained issues 5-8. No changes were made to the order of articles, and as such the same criticisms apply. Both volumes are quite rare, and as a result can be expensive to acquire. It is much more easier to obtain the original individual issues.
	* DW Volume 1: October 27, 2004 (ISBN-10: 0973381760, ISBN-13: 978-0973381764)
	* DW Volume 2: December 8, 2004 (ISBN-10: 0973381779, ISBN-13: 978-0973381771)

	IDW are also planning to re-release the G1 guides. As of May 2008 it is unknown if the text will be re-written to update IDW specific plots (such as the Dead Universe, Galvatron's new origin, and the considerably different history, geography and political landscape of Cybertron). However, the current Amazon listings have the same page count as the DW versions (264 pages).

	~~===''More Than Meets The Eye: Armada''===~~
	~~{{main\|~~More Than Meets the Eye (~~Armada)}}~~

	This three-issue limited series profiled all the characters that appeared in the ''Armada'' product line between 2002 and 2004, as well as background essays on subjects like humanity's involvement in the ''Armada'' conflict and the [[Mini-Con]] Moonbase. The profiles followed the Dreamwave storyline in its ''Armada'' comic book series, though it took cues from the ''Armada'' cartoon for various characters that did not appear in the comic series.

	~~One volume, three issues; published March–May, 2004.~~

	~~# [[Adventure Mini-Con Team]]s through [[Hot Shot (Armada~~)\|Hot Shot]] and [[Jolt (Armada)\|Jolt]].
