Title: Transformers Animated: The Allspark Almanac
Series: Transformers Animated: The Allspark Almanac - 1st volume
Author: Jim Sorenson and Bill Forster
Read Before: no
My Comments: I was looking forward to reading this but thought I’ll never have the chance, so I was happy that someone let me borrowed it. This is a really good guidebook, exactly what a guidebook should be like (not like the stupid percy Jackson one), very worth the money (around $30), and very interesting, giving different perspectives and concept designs and everything, love it! It is a very good guide book, and I did learn some things about the series (well, the author did say they were allowed to make up stuff, but they had collaborated with the writers, so it’s not rubbish that someone just made up). I really enjoyed looking at the pictures and seeing them in detail, coz that’s something you can hardly catch while seeing the show (they move too fast and you can't focus on them too much). It did get a little boring at times coz it’s just Seasons 1 and 2, which is where most of the stuff we already knew (once it hits Season 3 in the second volume, that’s where it gets more interesting coz there is so much more happening). I do think this is one for the fans of Transformers Animated (and preferably G1 as well), and that you have watched the cartoon, otherwise you won’t know what they are talking about (there are many awesome references to terms that are specific to fans).
