Errors

• Bumblebee's Top Trumps card misspells his name "Bumblee" in his description.
• The contents page lists a fact file for Galvatron but there's a fact file for Lockdown in the body of the book instead.
• According to the synopsis of Age of Extinction, the Dinobots are named Warpath (leader), Spinosaurus, Triceratops, and Swoop. Grimlock appears listed as Warpath again in "Real or Fake?", though his name is correct in the answers!
• The Transformers 3 story section is titled The Dark of the Moon.

Items of note

• Mysteriously a character called Cyclonus appears in "Cade's Wordsearch" and "Lockdown's Lowdown" — in the latter it's noted he's a Decepticon.
• Warning: Not suitable for children under 36 months due to potential small parts.
