Synopsis

A cut and dry retelling of the story from the moment the Autobots first meet Sam, though it manages to shoehorn in the Qatar attack in despite this. Some scenes play out differently to help play up the book's gimmick: using the same tab pulling mechanisms like pop-up books, each page on the right hand side has a Transformer you can change into vehicle mode by pulling the tab.

Notes

Dah wha?

• On the Borders store's database, the book's cover is apparently a test mock up, as it uses the movie font and border of the final release, but uses character illustrations from Transformers: Energon.
• In plot summaries on various store data bases as well as the book's back cover, Blackout is listed as "Vortex". He is called Blackout inside the book, however.
• Jazz is drawn in vehicle mode with his top down. While not unusual for the Pontiac Solstice (it is a convertible, after all), it clashes with every other media appearance of Jazz.
• Despite the book's title being "Transformers: Prime Time", it shows listed under as "Transformers Sliders Prime Time Attack" in all major store's databases.
