I'd put it just after Budiansky……
…….. in alphabetical order……

Primus alive, what even is that Nemesis?! It's like the designer only read a description o the Nemesis and tried their best to replicate it.

Ah okay, could you send images anyways?

So, how does it feel to have your names alongside the likes of Simon Furman, Bob Budiansky, and Jim Shooter in terms of influencing and establishing Transformers lore?
Not sure I'd put DeSanto's name anywhere near those guys.

I really want a Spaceball One that turns into Mega Maid.

Ah but Hasbro is using an alternate design for the Nemesis, so the scale is only good for the Ark

This will be perfect if/ when we get a titan Nemesis, so everyone can definitively say "the toys don't follow the official scale chart!"

There's a double-page spread of Galvatron, but it's mostly his packaging art.

To those who have the book, any images of Galvatron? And was there anything about Rodimus and other 86 characters? Like was there plans for them at any point?

dunno exactly how much i'd trust an account immediately after identifying Lancer as Nautica, and whatever this is:

This brand is truly run by idiots
Glad I picked up mine during 2021 second hand

Well, holy shit.
By this account, Hasbro planned Walmart Kingdom Nemesis Prime all along, but TakaraTomy incidentally made up the TakaraTomy Mall Siege Nemesis Prime, only to cut the production run upon being informed by Hasbro to avoid redundancy.
I am upset. The Hasbro deco is inferior, and I deserved the chance to order an affordable one, which never materialized from Hasbro Pulse let alone BBTS.

Got my copy of this yesterday. Looked through it and scanned through the text. The artwork is breathtaking. Wish it had a little more about the toy line other than just 5 pages of pics of some of the figures and 5 paragraphs about it.
All in all I quite like it and glad I got a copy.

Received my copy today. Haven't had a chance to go through it in detail yet but it seems packed with a ton of content. Pretty neat.

Definitely nice that it's there, though I'd like to know whether there's only box art included for characters that appeared in the show.

Can't wait for it to drop.
