Transformers Archive Super Encyclopedia Tankobon Softcover Coming in May

An intriguing bit of merchandise has popped up on Amazon Japan.

Titled “Transformers Archive Super Encyclopedia Tankobon,” this 112-page softcover book is due to be available on May 13th, 2024, and while there are no previews and you can’t order it just yet, we are given the following description (via Google Translate):

A book looking back on 40 years of Transformers, presented by TV Magazine, which has been following Transformers since the first anime, is now available. A comprehensive review of past anime series and live-action movies. A special feature on the Beast Wars series. A deep dive into the CG series as well as “Second” and “Neo”! There are many other projects that can only be read in this book!

“Other projects that can only be read in this book,” eh? Sounds nothing if not intriguing. If you’re Jonesing to get yourself a copy, then head on over here, and keep your eyes peeled for when ordering (pre- or otherwise) opens up.

Thanks to PrimalxConvoy for the tip!
