Transformers Publishing News From Bologna Book Fair 2023

Posted on March 22, 2023 at 2:06 am by Silver Optimus under Transformers Earthspark, Transformers Movie Toys & Products

Bologna Book Fair 2023 concluded recently and upcoming Transformers-related publishing materials were on display for the public.

Some of the highlights:

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts children’s books by Simon & Schuster
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts children’s activity books by Bendon
Transformers: EarthSpark children’s books by Simon & Schuster

Speaking to the press, Michael Kelly, Hasbro’s VP of global publishing likens the movie to the more family-friendly original 2007 Transformers movie or the younger-skewing Bumblebee (2018), rather than some of the recent sequels. “It’s close to those in tone and feeling,” he explained. “It’s not one of those films that’s just brushing the R rating; there’s still lots of action and the stakes are high, but it’s solidly PG-13.”

Unfortunately, no news was shared regarding the comic book license.
