—Blurb from the front cover of Beast Wars Pt.1: Trace & Colour | ||
Beast Wars Pt.1: Trace & Colour is a coloring book. It is illustrated in black-and-white line art, using a mix of illustrations that are simplified versions of the characters' first wave toy packaging art, or drawings based on their television animation models. The book also includes a few pages of tracing paper. All depictions of the characters in their robot modes are based on their packaging art, while all depictions of characters in their beast modes is based on their animation models, with the sole exception of Rattrap's beast mode on page 36 (see bellow). It is part of a series of at least five activity books, containing no storyline or narrative, other than a short informative blurb on the cover (quoted above).
Contents
- Interior title page, featuring Optimus Primal in robot mode, superimposed in front of the reptilian eye decorating Beast Wars packaging at the time.
- The aforementioned image of Optimus Primal, this time scaled-up to fill the page.
- Four rectagular frames arranged in a square pattern. The top-left frame features a profile close-shot of Megatron's beast mode head. The to-right frame features a profile shot of Tarantulas in beast mode as well, though his face is obscured by one of his legs. The bottom-left frame features a three-quarter profile shot of Cheetorin beast mode. The remaining frame showcases a three-quarter profile shot of Rhinox in beast mode. Accordingly, the word "Predacons labels the top two frames, while the word Maximals labels the bottom two.
- Tarantulas in robot mode before a desert background, with a volcano in the distance.
- Megatron, in his T-rex body, in robot mode superimposed before the reptilian eye.
- A full-body profile shot of Waspinator in beast mode superimposed before the reptilian eye.
