Hi, bunch of quick ones.
TF:Genesis (published by 88mph studios) was originally supposed to have been about G1 box art. Anyone know why that didn't happen? Also anyone know of a decent site containing G1 box art?
J.E. Alvarez's Unofficial Guide to TF's 80's - 90's is in 2nd Print. Anyone know what the differences are?
I finally got a copy of TF:Generations (deluxe - Japanese text). Gorgeous book. On page 038 is God Ginrai and an add on. The best way to describe him is Grant Mitchell to GodBomber's Phil. For any non UK residents, he was a much stockier version of Godbomber. Vehicle mode seems to be identical but robot mode is different. Does anyone know who this guy is?
Ta.

Right in the bottom left? Looks like a prototype, maybe? Or is it the Junior version? Looks too detailed for that, but I could be wrong...

Poor organisation. I think some of the contributors are still unpaid. Have a read around on a.t.t. and you'll probably pick up some more details.Originally posted by Loki

edit:
Er, that's alt.toys.transformers (Google have a newsgroups frontend you can use for reading and posting.) If you haven't heard of Botch, you might not have found that yet either...
re: Generations, if you can post an image crop you'll get more responses. Relatively few people have the book, and the scans in circulation are of the original print.

There's a great design scetch at the back showing PM Prime/Ginrai as a headmaster. I'm suprised they didn't go ahead with it considering you have to take the head off anyway...
