1. Do you think this production bible will ever be released? If so, when do you think it will? 2. Which character designs were better, Prime or Binder? For example, Binder Optimus vs Prime Optimus.
1. I doubt it. 2. I think I honestly prefer the binder's design overall, but I don't hate the design ultimately used in the TV show.
Nah. I can't see Hasbro wanting to be reminded of what a mess this turned out to be. Definitely Binder Optimus. As far as using the Covenant of Primus as a measuring stick for the designs, though, honestly the damn thing's a hodgepodge - some designs were created for the Binder/Pop-up Book/Covenant, some are slapped in from High Moon (notice Soundwave there), others are trotted in straight from Prime. Offhand I'd say any designs created by Ken Christiansen or Emiliano Santalucia are among the best ones.
