IDW Publishing's Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall ahs updated his blog RyallTime with two pages of interior art from the soon to be released book "I Am Optimus Prime".

Written by Chris Ryall, and illustrated by the Sharp Brothers "I Am Optimus Prime" is aimed as younger readers aged 4-7 years old, with art based on the Robot Heroes line of figures, which you can see here.

While showcasing many character that have already received the Robot Heroes treatment, like Optimus Prime, Soundwave and Arcee, we also get what could be considered our first look at Robot Heroes Ratchet

You can check out the four pages (2 images) of interior art below, or head on over to Ryall's blog, by clicking here.

That's so cool! My daughter is 4, she might be up for this, but the violence gives me pause, cartoonish as it may be. I'm trying to keep that sort of thing away from her as long as I realistically can, you know? But she's becoming quite the little fan-kid- loves her Animated Bumblebee and Optimus PJs.

*will prob buy anyway*

I don't care if the book's aimed at young readers, I'm so going to buy that book. If anyone asks, I'm going to say that I bought it so that when I have kids, I can tell them Transformers bedtime stories.

I've already preordered this for my son...He will flip when he finds out I have a TF book to read to him before bedtime...I've never bought any of the 8x8 TFA storybooks because I really can't stomach those types of books...But this one looks top-notch

These two pictures alone make me dream of an entire children's product like with this art. I'll take 1 sheet set, 1 bathroom coordinates set, coasters, cups and plates, and some of those "flypaper" static cling wall decorations. Oh yeah, and posters too.

Definitely picking this book up. Putting it down might be a challenge though.
