Transformers: The Veiled Threat's title obviously refers to the more malevolent "robots in disguise" that is the focus of this novel. The evil Decepticons return once again to conquer Earth under the command of Megatron's treacherous second lieutanant, Starscream.
What I thought was odd about this novel is that you don't need to have seen the first Transformers film in 2007 to understand the plot. The characters, Transformer and human, are introduced all as if this is their More...

This book is about what happened after robots called Autobots and Deceoticons from a planet called Cybertron came to Earth to find a cube shaped thing called the All-Spark. It was used by the Decepticons to make more of their kind so that they can take over the universe. The Autobots were trying to destroy the All-Spark. They go around the world looking for clues on why the Decepticons whouldn't leave, even after their leader, Megatron, died. I picked this book up because I wanted to know what h

I haven't read the movie adaptations, but I much preferred this one to The Ghosts of Yesterday. There's interesting plot elements, lots of new characters, and tons of details about the TF world that I loved. I was surprised about the loose ends that were hanging around at the end of the novel. Especially since they were not fully resolved in the second movie.

Another TF prequel adaption with Starscream! Once I see the new movie (or look at one of the many kids books I got today) I'll have an idea what some of these robots look like!

Thought this one was pretty good. Just hope this book ties in better to the new movie than Ghosts of Yesterday did with the first Transformers movie. Loved the short appearances by Barricade and Frenzy and can't wait to see them in Revenge of the Fallen

These prequel books are great. It gives you a ton of insight into the history of the characters, and hints as to where the story will go. And Foster is a great author.

I thought the tie in Transformers Ghosts of Yesterday was much better then this one. The plot was fairly weak and seemed to be more like a comic book minus the beautiful artwork. There were plenty of fight scenes but very little depth to the book.

... well, it was a pre-cursor to the movie. But it didn't really add anything to the movie.

I liked it better than the movie! Interesting plot, fun lines, a super hot "guest star," and the occasionally awesomely awful line. Like so:
"Nearby, despite his strongest efforts, [spoiler:] found himself weakening in the face of the pitiless punishment being doled out by the implacable Ironhide."
Potentially accidental alliteration for the win!

Alan Dean Foster is a favorite. Any time you read one of his books, whether an original or a tie-in, you can be sure it will be a fast read. He's very good in the tie-ins at taking a bare bones script and making a real novel from it.
This novel is a prequel tp the second Transformer movie and sets up things nicely.
