5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference Material, February 5, 2008
By J. Murphy (Southern California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I decided to get this book upon a suggestion from an internet friend. I personally love drawing and recently started making attempts at some of the original Transformers. I was pausing the computer screen and making attempts to hunt down good reference material. This book worked wonders for me. It is all in black & white,with multiple views of the characters. Apparently most are character models that the animators used for the cartoon.It does have all the characters from the 3.5 American Seasons of the cartoon. If you enjoy drawing or just want to remember who everybody was, I'd recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Art book models., February 6, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book is more of art book. There plenty of pictures of transformers as seen in their cartoon form(also contains early concept models). There is not much to read in this book except for a couple of paragraphs. If you are a fan of the cartoon show than get this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the artists!, January 14, 2008
By Mitzi A. Leaver (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I got this book for my 8 year old son on the advice of a friend. It's wonderful for the artists! It gives front and back line drawings of all the Transformers in both mech and vehicle/tool format. It is a terrific resource.
