Amazon has put on a preview on their Transformers - Art of Prime Hardcover listing. The book is written by Jim Sorenson and gives us a look at character and prop design, backgrounds and sets and color and effects. This preview gives us a look at a number of the pages exploring the art of Transformers Prime. The book is scheduled for release December 31.

Explore the rich world of Transformers Prime! Loaded with character animation models, concept art, interviews with the creators and more, Transformers: The Art of Prime provides and unprecendented look behind the scenes of bringing the TF Prime universe to television audiences. Jim Sorenson (Transformers The Ark, Transformers AllSpark Almanac) brings this deep, vivid world into focus!

It looks veeery pretty, and I like Jim's work.
Could be a nice addition next to the Covenant, for a more practical take on the stuff!

There's a silver version of the car-based Vehicon in here labeled "Starscream's Vehicon Seekers", despite not using the Jet Vehicon model.

Also, you can view a while lotta pages using the "Surprise Me!" feature. I managed to get 16 pages to show:

Others told me that they got many many more to show by logging out and logging back into their accounts, but that didn't work for me on my end.

Huh. I'll wait, personally.

You didn't get The Art of Fall of Cybertron?

Nope, that's why I said this is the first actual artbook I'm getting.

No interest, I don't care much for the aesthetic of FOC.

Might buy this myself, too. Don't know if "You Can Draw Transformers" counts as this kind of art book, but otherwise, it would my first.
