Synopsis
A bare bones vague retelling of the movie story. Each page features an confrontation between an autobot and a Decepticon, and the main gimmick of the book is that each section of the book can be flipped to a different part. The story box on the Decepticon part lines up, so the plot can be read in a mix and matched fashion. The art lines up well, though there's a few fudges, and Frenzy throws off every Decepticon combination. The book advertises more than 200 possible combinations.
Items of Note
- This is another book to use Energon characters and art in the early mock up phases.
- Either by error of model sheet or coloring, Bonecrusher is drawn seemingly without eyes.
- Swindle, as his autobot form, makes a rare appearance, likely to both pad out the Autobot roster, and to give Frenzy someone to fight.
