| Autobot Join Date: Aug 2010 Posts: 79 | I liked the first book. It was a quick easy read. I'm hoping for good things out of the follow-up. And as a random aside... I'm a bit surprised we haven't seen news on a Gears toy in one of these lines (unless I missed it). I would think they would have a toy to follow with the novels. |

| Herald of Unicron  Join Date: Feb 2012 Posts: 3,805 | I wish they would have made the decision to put the "Transformers: Classified" book series into the Aligned Continuity AND aim it towards teenage readers. It would have been a excellent opportunity to flesh out the characters and tell stories that couldn't be done in TV-Y7 children's show. What a waste of potential.  |

| Dork of the moon  Join Date: Feb 2008 Posts: 1,746 Location: Sweden | My guess is we will get a Generations Gears next year. People have been speculating that the retooled Kup toy might be intended for Gears and now Hasbro Asia will be releasing that mold as Swerve who was Gears retool back in G1, so yeah Gears next year (I would guess anyway). Edit: Kind of unrelated though I guess. I had forgotten it was a movie-verse book and there was a toy for it. Meh, I want a Generations one instead  |
