Cybertronian: The Unofficial Transformers Recognition Guide was a series of unofficial guidebooks published by Antarctic Press between 2001-2002, documenting the American Transformers toy line. Over the course of seven volumes, it covered every American Generation One, Generation 2 and Machine Wars toy, as well as the first year of the Beast Wars toy line. Their high-quality imagery made the guidebooks an ideal photo-reference and artists and colorists at Dreamwave comics would rely heavily on copies of Cybertronian, along with certain Studio Ox character models, as an artistic reference.

  • Cybertronian: The Unofficial Transformers Recognition Guide was a series of unofficial guidebooks published by Antarctic Press between 2001-2002, documenting the American Transformers toy line. Over the course of seven volumes, it covered every American Generation One, Generation 2 and Machine Wars toy, as well as the first year of the Beast Wars toy line. A departure from previous unofficial guidebooks that functioned primarily as price guides to Transformers as a collectible investment, Cybertronian put forth a view that Transformers toys were worthy of an intrinsic interest as "one of the best robot toy lines in history," separate from any monetary value, and focusing on the characters the toys represented. Cybertronian compiled a comprehensive imaging of over 500 toys, showing them in every mode, covering an 11-year span with no omissions. No other English-language Transformers guidebook (official or unofficial) has approached this level of detail or completion; its only real rival in those respects is the licensed Japanese work Transformers Generations. Their high-quality imagery made the guidebooks an ideal photo-reference and artists and colorists at Dreamwave comics would rely heavily on copies of Cybertronian, along with certain Studio Ox character models, as an artistic reference. Two pieces of fan art commissioned for Cybertronian's covers subsequently became official art when they were among the works selected for publication in 2003's Genesis: The Art of Transformers coffee-table book.
