What is the Transmanual? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The Transmanual is the essential guide
book to collecting American Transformers. Each book
is a full color handy reference guide to identifying
not only all Transformers released in the U.S. but
also all the parts that go along with them, any variations
you may locate, and other handy information such as
character stats, quotes, and more. |

There are a lot of books out
there by Alvarez, and then the Cybertronians, what
makes the Transmanual different from these books?
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
The books by both Alvarez, and the Cybertronian
Guides are all good books in their own right. However,
Alvarez book is not comprehensive, it features some
toys and not others, and cannot be considered a comprehensive
book, or a parts guide book. The Cybertronians are
good books as well, however; we do not find them to
be as useful, nor as accurate as the Transmanual.
They are also more costly than the Transmanual and
we find it's easier to use the Transmanual on the
whole. TFsource.com owns all of these books, including
the Japanese books, and the one we reach for hands
down for ID'ing parts, checking for variants, and
everything else is the Transmanual. Also, we're not
alone. Many of the largest parts dealers, dealers,
and collectors know that the two volumes of the Transmanual
are all you need to be proficient in everything G1.

exactly what came with Fortress Maximus? The Transmanuals'
got it, and the others don't. |
