They have adopted major studio films from Disney, Warner Brothers and others. Their work for Hasbro included a number of coloring and activity books based on the Armada franchise.
Armada
Funtastic released six activity and coloring books simultaneously in 2002, in a variety of formats. The coloring books are printed on low-grade paper, and feature a variety of simple "activities": color in the line art, count the Autobot symbols, copy the picture of Jetstorm, etc.
The cast consists entirely of the first wave of Armada toy characters: Optimus Prime & Sparkplug, Megatron & Leader-1, Hot Shot & Jolt, the Street Action Team, and the Air Defense Mini-Con Team.
