Been a while since I did one of these, but now that I've got copies of Photoshop and Quark on my home computer, I've got back to 'em.
I think most people would agree that if there was one section of the Ultimate Guide book that left a bad taste in the reader's mouth, it was the RiD section, which was a grand total of four pages about the toys, and nothing else. There was some speculation that this might have been because they couldn't acquire what they needed from Disney (current holders of the RiD cartoon) in time, but later comments made by Furman at Auto Assembly indicate that the RiD section was purposefully bumped to make room for Energon.
That don't sit right with me, y'all. And so, here's my first non-G1 page, the RiD Autobots:

(Hopefully the bandwidth won't cut out like it did yesterday... still don't know why that happened...)
I'm *kinda* only doing this page because I can't get the image of G1 Galvatron I need for his page to scan right (his'll be the last G1 page I want to "add"), but I was always planning to do RiD afterwards anyway. Was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to squeeze everyone in, but Tow-Line and Skid-Z made it as screenshots (and honestly, what more is there to say, really?). For those wondering, Fortress Maximus would be covered in an inset box on the "Episode Guide" page, as would Koji and the other human characters, and a picture of Omega Prime would go there, too. Hey, maybe I'll actually make that page.
