Just a nice picture of Cyclonus.

Uh, book? 'Decepticon' isn't a Decepticon. Neither are 'Minicons', 'Starsaber' or 'Sureshock'. In fact, the only Decepticon in that line-up is Galvatron, and Megatron's not going to be ordering him to do much. You could colour that guy up there to be Galvatron, but given that this book only has pictures of early show characters, that's Meggy up there.

"Although they look like something the cat dragged in, these three robots are completely unnecessary to the MINI mission of all the Mini-Cons. The very small rocks and Decepticons see the unlimited marketing potential hidden beneath their innocent forms and would totally go to the Planet of Open-Minded Supermodels to possess them." 'Mini mission'? I thought the Minicons' mission was to get away from the Bulks and stop getting strapped to people's arms.

Also, Sureshock is going to kick you in the head.

One of the things these books did was do turnaround colouring pages. While reasonably useful reference, what we didn't scan was a close-up of the back of Hot Shot's shoulder. They changed the sizes randomly as well.

Red Alert can't solve it. Know why?

Because someone goofed up the answer key. Optimus Prime is the leader of the Cybertron. Almost makes sense in Japanese. But all Autobots don't turn into yellow sports cars, and no way are we from the planet Hot Shot.

Despite the fact that the pictures are only of the initial cast and their Minicons, the answers sometimes used later characters and toy-only characters.

"RED ALERT is a valued doctor and science officer who has brought copious amounts of pudding into the lives of many grateful Insecticons. An old sock of OPTIMUS PRIME, RED ALERT was once a fierce and heroic Go-Bot, until he was seriously wounded in battle and saw the glorious light of the Decepticon cause, which is why he keeps getting the Decepticon sigil in these things. Or they're printing errors, I'm yanking your chain, and he saw the preciousness of all life."

And this has been our highlights reel of Transformers: Armada Colouring & Activity Book. Good night, and may the Furman take a liking to you.
