This book collects over 500 of the animation models from the classic TV show that have been painstakingly restored to their original glory. This volume has them all, from Optimus Prime to Galvatron, and features a brand new Don Figueroa cover.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Art book models. Comment: This book is more of art book. There plenty of pictures of transformers as seen in their cartoon form(also contains early concept models). There is not much to read in this book except for a couple of paragraphs. If you are a fan of the cartoon show than get this book. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Reference Material Comment: I decided to get this book upon a suggestion from an internet friend. I personally love drawing and recently started making attempts at some of the original Transformers. I was pausing the computer screen and making attempts to hunt down good reference material. This book worked wonders for me. It is all in black & white,with multiple views of the characters. Apparently most are character models that the animators used for the cartoon.It does have all the characters from the 3.5 American Seasons of the cartoon. If you enjoy drawing or just want to remember who everybody was, I'd recommend this book. Customer Rating: Summary: Great for the artists! Comment: I got this book for my 8 year old son on the advice of a friend. It's wonderful for the artists! It gives front and back line drawings of all the Transformers in both mech and vehicle/tool format. It is a terrific resource. Customer Rating: Summary: Transformers: The Ark - A Complete Compendium Of Transformers Animation Models Comment: Very nice book who are fans of the original animation. It has many nicely character design (model pack drawings) in the book. The book's graphic design is layout by T.V. seasons. Easy to follow the progression of each generation designs for the series. I am very satisfied with this book. What I like to see is the next book from the publisher is to have a background layout drawings and paintings from the television series. Customer Rating: Summary: Good robot drawing reference Comment: Substantial historical reference of the Transformer robot roster of the 80s. While the line quality can be poor in a few models, they are all still adequate as a starting point for budding artists. Given their simpler block construction, they are easier to study, copy, and position in 3-D space for young artists eager to learn how to draw their own transformers. For a good basic library of Transformers Art, this would be a good bundle with You Can Draw Transformers (DK) (Spiral-bound). More Reviews
