Posted by LOST Cybertronian Dec 15, 2013 at 12:20pm CST 86,755 views
Way back in our IDW BotCon 2012 coverage, we brought you news of a new project Jim Sorenson was working on called Transformers Legacy: A Celebration of Transformers Package Art. Amazon has now listed a pre-order for this upcoming book dropping May 6, 2014. It is a hardcover listed at the price of $34.80.

Remember the thrill of tearing open a gift on Christmas morning, discovering a brand-new Transformer in a shiny new box? While the toys were amazing in their own right, what made the packages stand head-and-shoulders above the myriad 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. Hasbro, Takara, and private collectors opened their archives, yielding an unparalled level of quality. Essays and interviews from the original illustrators give unprecedented insight into the process behind the art. This book is chock-full of extras, including never-before-seen artwork from toys that never were, original design sketches, catalog artwork, and more.

Hardcover: 300 pages
Publisher: IDW Publishing (May 6, 2014)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1613779437
ISBN-13: 978-1613779439


There is no cover art available yet but here are a couple of images taken from Jim Sorenson's blog Disciples of Boltax.

Definitely picking this up. If Michael Bay ever decides to leave our franchise alone, any new director will need to be given a copy of this to see what a Cybertronian should look like.

I need to see how complete this is before committing, but thus far it's looking good.

If this is 95%-100% complete, I'd not just be interested, I'd fully expect this to sell in a bundle with "Covenant of Primus".

If Hasbro releases that before the next movie as part of the hype? Well, we need a meme with; "It prints money!", here.
