Transformers Beast Wars Omnibus

This would be a great gift for any Beast Wars fan. Contrary to the television series, the stories included focus more on the side characters you only see portrayed as action figures. This gives a new breath of life for your figures, and because practically every character is represented in some way or form, the Beast Wars toy collector will find something new to like. It is particularly refreshing that the Japanese Beast Wars characters were given such a strong focus. The actual plot itself is rather well written and it goes without saying Don Figueora's art is really fantastic. After finishing the story, you'll probably leaf through the individual pages, spotting minor little details and characters that you didn't catch the first time round. The Beast Wars Sourcebook included is fun, but is infamous for having a good number of errors. Luckily a lot of them have been fixed, although the unfixable parts remain bad. Nevertheless, it is a fun encyclopedia, and a good addition to this collection. In fact, considering the price of this set, I'm more inclined to see the Sourcebook as icing on the cake. Overall, a highly recommended set.

This book ROCKS. Before I get to the really good stuff, this book combines three excellent books previosly published but at an extremely good price! Only $25! VERY good buy! This is well worth the price. Not only that but some additional narration text is inserted in certain parts to help the story transition better. These sections are when new Beast Warriors are being announced in The Gathering #1 and the Epilog sections at the end of The Gathering #2 are rewritten to indicate which faction camp the scene transitioned to. This collection includes Beast Wars The Gathering, Ascending, and The Sourcebook with Glossary. The Glossary entries are renumbered to match the Omnibus page count. The book is very well done. The coloring is also embellished, making everything look richer. There is an accurate order to read the profiles. I've made a G1/BW timeline utilizing the Glossary and profile entries. It's long; 65 pages. I posted it on a message board and fellow posters loved it. If anyone wants it, send me an email. If you love G1 and BW, you MUST buy this book!
