Great artbook for any Transformers fan. i loved and still love the Transformers Prime series. it's probably my favorite next to G1. The artwork is fantastic. I love seeing character sketches, early design work, and story ideas. this book had it all.

So cooool!!! Beautifully detailed pictures of all the characters and settings make this book an amazing reference for artists, as well as a great art book for fans. The thing I like best is how it shows most of the characters' transformations in steps, showing which parts go where. Not Arcee though. I swear they cheated with her to make her motorcycle mode small enough...
The interviews with the artists and designers are fascinating, and shed light on the incredible care and quality that went into Transformers Prime.
The only problem I have is that a lot of the printing is very dark, which makes some of the detail hard to see in some of the art, but it's not annoying enough to knock off a whole star.

A lot of cool info on the production of the show, that gave me insight into the work. Interesting interviews, great concept art. A good, informative book.
I don't think a better book could've been written on the subject without veering into analysis or criticism. The reason I don't rate it 5 stars is because Transformers: Prime, while beautiful, is simply not that interesting to talk about.

Cannot believe I actually finally got to read this cover to cover and document so many quotes. So cool. I've been obsessed with getting my hands on this book for nearly six years and it feels surreal.

The book contains beautiful artwork to my favorite show of all time, and I love it. I even use it for reference.

Best art book I have and probably ever will have. Absolutely amazing details with really interesting commentary by passionate artists, writers, designers and others from behind the scenes.
