Of COURSE Simon Furman wrote it. Can we, then, do less?

Transformers: The Movie Guide is a book for the 2007 live-action movie.

Overview

Various character profiles, covering the major (robotic) players of the movie. A bit of fleshing out of character abilities, weapons, and histories. As well, the book covers other things about Transformers that the movie mentions, such as the Trans-scanning, and Protoforms. It, like other visual guides, has the standard seemingly near-nonsensical callouts that point to various parts (an example being Optimus Prime's roof lights in vehicle mode being missile launchers). A vast number of Autobots and Decepticons were omitted from the book, some being Ironhide, Bonecrusher, Starscream and Brawl/Devastator.

Some of the details in the book were not used in the film or related fiction, apart from some appearing in Titan's comics; by an astounding coincidence, that related fiction was the one written by Furman. Details used by Titan include Ratchet's internal spare parts and protoforms absorbing extraneous matter to construct part of their exoskeleton.

The cover is lenticular, and changes between the movie Autobot logo and the (drawn) head of Optimus Prime.
