Transformers: The Manga, Vol. 2

A good action pack second volume. Thus follows the same formula as the first. This volume contains 8 short condensed action packed chapters. These stories are from the Headmasters time period. I one thing I do not understand is yes they are the head masters and should not able to transform into robot mode without their "pilot" or partner transforming into their head, but most of time the the Transformer are already in robot form before the "Head On".The next 12 chapter are the Pretender storyline. Which is a bit of a cross between Power Rangers and Rescue Bots. Again more action driven, but with a britvic an underlying story. I bit underwhelming in the ending, but I am still looking forward to volume 3.The book finishes wit a illustration/sketch gallery. These cover the original Manga covers, but also key points of the original Thransformer cartoon series. Another good art and action driven volume.

This thing is beautiful. Perfect packaging and therefore perfect condition upon arrival. The packaging would have withstood a nuclear detonation! The book really is wonderful as well. If you are interested in the Japanese side of G1 beyond the 3 original cartoon series (plus Zone and Scramble City of course) that they produced, then this is an amazing book to have and get into. Get the other 2 as well. Illustrations and quality of the print are stunning. Plus with being Japanese, its backwards from a Western perspective, which is novel in itself (excuse the pun) and pretty fun and unique. Fabulous book and worth every penny and more.

Exactly as described.

I love these books!It's a great chance to read some vintage G1 stories that we never had access to back in the 80's.
