Transformers: The Junior Novel

Transformers: The Junior Novel is an adaption of the 2007 film Transformers: Robots in Disguise. It was written for young children and is therefore much less violent then the film of the 2007 novelization.

Differences

 * After the attack on the military base, the story focuses on one small group wandering the desert. However, it is stated later on that all of the other soldiers survived and were brought back to America.
 * Much of the Daniel/Carly romance is altered from the movie to remove much of the sexual humour.
 * Much of the politics from the film are cut, leaving much about the character of President James Keller.
 * Seymour Simmons is "toned down" from his film counterpart.
 * Rather than having Optimus fighting Bonecrusher under the bridge, the Decepticon is dispatched when Optimus throws him over the highway.
 * No reference to civilian harm during the Mission City battle.
 * Jazz's death is not described first hand, instead Ironhide arrives at the scene and Jazz is lying on the ground. It is not clearly stated how he died, of if he was killed at all. He is not referenced after this scene and does not appear from then. Instead of Ironhide telling Barricade that he will kill him, he now says that he will pay for what he did.
 * Rather than being shot down, Barricade is knocked out by an explosion.
 * Daniel never makes it to the tower, and the entire sequence is therefore cut.
 * Optimus tells Daniel to destroy the One rather than specifically state that he should kill him to do so.
 * One of the biggest differences is that after Bumblebee shoves the One into Megatron's chest, both the One and Megatron dissappear in a flash of light. Somehow, he winds up at the bottom of the ocean at the start of the next book without explanation.
