Book Description
Today, the Transformers franchise is a global phenomenon, thanks in large part to a record-breaking run of live-action blockbuster movies. But its roots lie in the 1980s, when it began as a range of toys before spinning off into a Marvel comic and a classic animated TV series. This book is the most comprehensive, authoritative guide ever to be published on that original incarnation of the Transformers (known officially as the 'Generation One' era). The toys, the comics and the animated series all receive in-depth coverage, with plot synopses, reviews and unprecedentedly detailed notes on the stories' continuity. In addition, the book contains essays on various aspects of the fiction and its production; biographical data for all key personnel; and much more besides. In short, this book contains everything a fan would ever need to know about the original incarnation of the Transformers. Whether you're a long-time devotee with a collection of battered old comics and VHS tapes, or a newcomer encountering the early years of the franchise for the first time through more recently-issued trade paperback reprints and DVDs, there is something here for everyone!

The first human-alien contact. The last word in galactic warfare. The story you must read–before Transformers rockets to the big screen! A mammoth robotic being, clearly of alien origin, has been found beneath the Arctic ice. Its advanced engineering dwarfs known human technology, and unlocking its secrets will catapult American science eons into the future. In search of the mysterious artifact’s origin, a covert government agency sends the manned craft Ghost 1 on a perilous journey of discovery. When a mishap maroons Ghost 1 in the far reaches of unknown space, the ship’s distress beacon reaches the very alien race Ghost 1’s crew has been seeking: the Autobots. The gigantic mechanized beings are also on a quest: to find the Allspark, a device crucial to the salvation of their home world, Cybertron. But they’re not alone. The Decepticons, the Autobots’ brutal enemies, have their own sinister purposes in seeking the Allspark. As these adversaries are drawn together once more, the stage is set for a death-dealing new battle in which each is driven by a single-minded aim: total annihilation of the enemy.
