Produced to tie in with the 2007 movie, the Top Trumps Transformers book is an expansion on the Top Trumps card pack. It consists of a series of profiles on characters and a few objects from the film. Each gets a text profile, written by Simon Furman, along with a quote and a list of attributes including items from the cards. Transformers also get a description for their alternate mode.
Attributes for Transformers are the usual things — "function", "height", "power", "Sector 7 threat rating" — while humans get attributes such as "played by", "likes" and "dislikes", and "special features". The last of these is used for items of note which don't fit into other categories, including "Deceased", "Adviser to President", and "Trainer of Mojo the chihuahua".
Content
[edit]- Autobots
- Cybertron
- Humans
- Decepticons
Errors
[edit]- The images illustrating Figueroa's entry are all of Burke. This is not the only time this has happened, as the Top Trumps card for Patrick Donnelly also shows the wrong actor.
- One of Megatron's images is of one of his unused face designs.
- Good luck using this book for reference of Scorponok's head; for whatever reason, the models used for him have it removed. He does have some nice gear-work between his shoulders though...

- Epps likes "Hip-hop", and dislikes "Fig's Mama's alligator étouffée".

- The "Witwicky Family" don't get individual text profiles, but they do get individual attributes.
- Moustache Man can be seen in one of Starscream's images, though he is not mentioned in the text.
