TRANSFORMERS LEGACY: A CELEBRATION OF TRANSFORMERS PACKAGE ART
Jim Sorenson, Bill Forster (w)
Remember the thrill of tearing open the wrapping on Christmas morning, discovering a brand new TRANSFORMERS toy in a shiny new box? While the toys were amazing in their own right, what made the packages stand head-and-shoulders above the competing action figures on shelves was the stunning box art. Transformers: Legacy collects hundreds of beautifully airbrushed paintings from the iconic first decade of The Transformers. Essays and interviews from the original illustrators give unprecedented insight into the process behind the art. This book is chocked full of extras, including never before seen artwork from toys that never were, original design sketches, catalog artwork, and more.
300 pages, $49.99.
Bullet points:
• The Transformers art book that you've been waiting for all these years! From the archives of Hasbro, Takara and private collectors!
