Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Mix & Match is an activity book released to tie-in with the Revenge of the Fallen film. The book's gimmick is that each page can be flipped over in thirds to reveal a different image and accompanying text segment. Each page features the confrontation between Autobots and a Decepticons.
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 Demolisher really messes with the scale. The book advertises more than 200 possible combinations.

Synopsis
If all the segments for each of the book's seven trisected pages are lined-up with their "correct" counterparts, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Mix & Match is a very loose retelling of the Revenge of the Fallen movie . However, the activity book's nature encourages the shuffling of story elements. Characters can be placed in situations wherein they would not normally be present in other iterations of the film's plot. In doing so, and ignoring the conventional "front-to-back" reading structure if the reader is so inclined, an entirely new version of the story can be created.
| Top Segment | Middle Segment | Bottom Segment |
| In Shanghai, Ironhide | targets the massive Demolisher | as he towers over a group of NEST soldiers. |
| In the streets, Sideswipe | extends his swords to fight Sideways, | while Abe and Lennox defend the citizens. |
| In an abandonned factory, Bumblebee | prepares to fight Starscream | while Sam, Mikaela and Jonah flee to safety.. |
| Within a metal foundry, Optimus Prime | confronts Megatron | who advances while readying his weapons. |
| Near the pyramids of Egypt, Mudflap | witnesses that Constructicons merge into Devastator | while Skids prepares for battle. |
| In the middle of some desert ruins, Jetfire | intercepts The Fallen | who is pursuing Sam, keeper of the Matrix. |
