Jim is a super-secret spy, has a motorcycle, marooned in space, meets Odysseus... or not...

He's been a long-time fan of science-fiction literature in general and Transformers in particular. His guidebooks are well regarded by the fan communities for their exhaustive attention to detail. Reports of his incarceration in another dimension should be dismissed as the unfounded rumors they are.

This Limited Edition book is completely worthy of the price you pay. Each page has terrific art work of my favorite Transformers. The extra prints that come with the Limited Edition are breathtaking art work. I can’t wait to hang them up. The book is a lot heavier than I expected it to be. The protected cover that comes with Limited Edition is very nice. I’m still drooling how awesome this book is. If you are a Transformers fan, you will appreciate this book.

This is probably a little more expensive from when it first came out however, the detail of the images are out of this world, the five prints it comes with, are fantastic. I went to Toycon Las Vegas 2020 with it and got both Frank Welker and Peter Cullen to sign it and they were blown away by it. This is an aqesome work of art of transformer imagery throughout the ages. A must have for the Transformer enthusiast.

This book is so heavy I could kill someone with it, which makes it great for holding down craft projects while glue dries. XD

It's also just an amazing, beautiful book. There is art from all Transformers continuities, presented in bright, clear colors and on durable paper. The binding is solid. The prints are gorgeous. Really, its worth every penny.

El libro esta genial, ya sabia que vendría en ingles, las ilustraciones que viene en el libro y extra son de excelente calidad, la verdad me llamo la atención mas las imágenes y también la historia de como surgió Transformers a lo largo del tiempo. Sin duda es un libro que todo amante de los Transformers debe tener en su colección. La parte adhesiva de la caja se esta despejando pero claro es un libro que se hizo desde el 2019 sin embargo no es un problema.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un viaggio "visivo" per ripercorrere la storia dei Transformers
Reviewed in Italy on January 10, 2021

È una raccolta di illustrazioni dei Transformers.
Le illustrazioni sono raccolte in capitoli dedicati: illustrazioni relative alle confezioni dei giocattoli, ai fumetti, alle animazioni, ai videogiochi ed ai film.
La stampa del volume e la carta utilizzata sono molto buone.

Volume acquistato in offerta, allo stesso prezzo dell'edizione standard, da cui differisce per la presenza:
- dello scatolo in cartone che racchiude il volume;
- della copertina olografica del volume, che presenta alternativamente la testa di Optimus Prime / Megatron in versione cinematografica;
- di cinque stampe della stessa dimensione del volume.

Consegna nei tempi.
Buono l'imballaggio.

Transformers: A Visual History does what it says on the front. Another name for it would be "The Art of Transformers".
Don't be mistaken though, this isn't a behind the scenes or in depth description of the franchise. You won't find lots of text or info in this book, but that's ok as there are many other great books out there for that.
What Jim Sorenson has done is take some of the most impressive images from the last 35 years of robots from all over the world and presented them in an amazing package. From the start of G1 toys, to TV, games, movies, comics, right up to Bumblebee in 2019. Brilliant box pics in large scale or giant double paged iconic comic art.
There's also many unseen images from the animated show and more. Pictures have been pulled from many sources in the USA, UK, Japan and more. This book will fill you in on all the major events in the Transformers franchise that you may never know existed.

The Limited Edition version has a special changing cover that flips between The Last Knight Megatron and Optimus when tilted. It comes in a special box and has 5 great large art prints included. This really is the Collectors Edition for dedicated fans wanting a nice high end version. From experience once these sell out the price can rocket also.

The whole book is heavy, bricks weigh less! So it shows you are getting a lot for your buck.
If you are a long time Transformers fan and want to relive some of the great moments then this is for you. If you are a casual follower but want to enjoy how cool Robots in Disguise look and experience new things then is also for you.
I highly recommend this book and it goes great alongside other hits like Transformers Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging and Transformers: Vault.
