Sometimes Amazon accidentally releases inside pictures of art books before they're released. This is one of those times.

It happened with The Art of FoC, and now we get an early glimpse at the beautiful Art of Prime. Enjoy!

NOTE: Go to Amazon to zoom in on the higher quality pictures.

Preorder The Art of Prime today!

Spoiler

I REALLY want a wallpaper-sized version of the Autobots painting!

 

Oh, that's cool. Didn't even know this was coming.

I'm not even a fan of many of the final designs of the show, but the background paintings were always one of the better parts of Prime. I'm also really interested in any concept and technical art.

 

I've been debating getting this for a couple months... But yeah, this looks like something I want.

 

honestly I liked Optimus Prime the way he looked before they changed him for the last season. When he changed he looked bad.

 

I disagree..his original design is one of my favorites from the show, but I think the Beast Hunters form is equally awesome.

Just too bad none of the toys come even close to catching that look in either mode. We need Masterpiece Beast Hunters Prime, pronto!

 

I always find these very intriguing and cool, I love getting to see what they started out like, what they could have looked like and seeing them in detail, they should make concept books like these for the movies, or have they done that already?

 

Agreed. I'll have to try and set money aside to pick this up.

Agreed. That art of the Thirteen at the Well is beautiful, for starters.

 

I've had this on pre-order for a long while...I am seriously excited about getting it more than ever after seeing these inside peeks  

 

Very nice art, still sad to see this show go off air.

 

Just got my shipping notice from Amazon that my copy is on its way. Can't wait!  

I noticed some time ago that my Transformers collection subsisted of entirely "toys", so I made the conscious decision to try and diversify a bit. I started a collection of trade paperbacks of the comics, especially IDW's stuff, and a few art books. But when this thing came out, I just about yelled "perfect", as I knew it was just the thing I was looking for to complement my love of the hobby.

 

Pre-ordered this quite some time ago but it's really nice to get to see some preview pics!

 

The show had pretty limited design variety compared to some other action cartoons, but I'm still really interested in getting this book.

 

Anyone else read the "forward" section in Peter Cullen's Prime voice btw? heh.

 

I'm probably going to pick this up, not gonna lie.

 

I'm so glad Transformers has been getting such a cool range of quality books recently, with the TF Vault, Pop-up book, Covenant of Primus, and now this. Not to mention the novels and some outstanding ongoing comics. Will definitely buy this!

 

I agree 100%

Looking forward to this.

 

I thought all of this was being covered in the Covenant of Primus.

Still cool this is coming out. I wished we had gotten a silver car Vehicon figure.

 

Does anyone know if this will come out in paperback?

 

Unlikely. But why does it matter, it's not as if it would be significantly cheaper given book pricing economics today?
