Characters In This Issue:
Acroyear, Action Man, Aileron, Arcee, Atomic Man, Axiom, Baron Daigon, Baron Karza, Baroness, Biotron, Blitzwing, Bob, Bryce Chan, Bulletman, Buster, Camilla Byers, Centurion, Cover Girl, Crystal Ball, D.O.C., Dave Dubosky, Director Bestley, Doc, Doc Sr., Doctor X, Duke, G.B. Blackrock, Gloria Baker, Joe Colton, Julio Lopez, Rock ‘n Roll

This a perfect guide to get to know some of the characters of the comics of Micronauts, Transformers, G.I. Joe, Rom, M.A.S.K (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) and Action Man. It is a great thing to have getting to know some old and new characters from everyone’s favorite characters they had as toys from their childhood memories. And also if you’re a fan of the Revolution series by IDW.

The Bios have a lot of information, covering a lot of ground and spanning from A for Acroyear to D for Duke, via Buster the Dog. Of course. The art is brought by a sheer smorgasbord of talent, including current art teams on several of the IDW books, and worth checking out overall.

Includes a giant Transformers pin-up by Fico Ossio and Sebastian Cheng, and a Lemuria blueprint by Guido Guidi. It’s art. It’s good, too. If you don’t look too close at Arcee’s face in the poster.

Papercraft- Acroyear and also included, MASK vehicle Thunderhawk.

For someone who is trying to follow the whole universe through the various titles, this book is actually a pretty nifty resource and well packaged production of the scale of what IDW Publishing is trying to push with the multiple franchises. IF you’re not reading any titles outside of Transformers, this is a great addition to find out more about the titles and characters you’re missing, too – and perhaps encourage the more reticent to go check out the titles those same characters are from.
