SynopsisFor the first time ever, Transformers Vault reveals the complete story of the Transformers, everyone's favorite robots in disguise. Loaded with never-before-seen images, this book is a guide to the epic battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, as it began with toys and television, and continued to comics, film, games, and other media. There's something here for all generations, from classic toys that have become sought-after collectibles to the amazing, high-tech visuals of the three live-action films. Hasbro has opened its official archives, gathering more than 250 images and several featured pieces of memorabilia. Look inside for a sheet of Generation One tech specs with a secret revealer, a rare pencil sketch from comics artist Casey Coller, an unseen character profile for Hot Rod from the 1986 film, an animation cel, and much more. Exclusive photos of Japanese Transformer prototypes, archival development art, and brand-new information about the future of the Transformers make this the ultimate package for every fan. Praise for Transformers Vault : " Transformers Vault . . . has a permanent place on our coffee table. If you need a unique gift to give your Transformers fan, we recommend this book. . . . they will discover something new every time they open it." --Wired.com " Transformers Vault is a collector's case at an affordable price. . . .

Officially licensed by Hasbro, The Transformers Vault: The Complete Transformers Universe covers, for the first time ever, the complete history of Transformers, including toys, the original animated series, comics, collectibles, and merchandise, as well as animated and live-action feature films. This heavily illustrated book features never-before-seen images from the Hasbro archives, seven interactive pieces of memorabilia, and an acetate slipcase with a unique "transforming effect." Five visually driven chapters feature early animation sketches, interviews with creators, wooden sculptures for the original toys, patents, prototypes, action-figure designs that never made it to production, vintage packaging art, and set-design sketches from the Michael Bay films.

Good information for the collector who is starting from the beginning
The book is detailed enough to get your interest. Not valuable for the hard core collector, I expected more from a book called the "Vault". To me Vault would signify locked secrets that were unknown or new undiscovered images or information not readily available. Still has great presentation and worth the 13 bucks I paid.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Transformers Vault
A very good tool of information on the origins to the modern versions of the transformers toy line. I would say 99% accuracy as I did find a few minor discrepancies from having lived through the transformers phenomenon from day 1 and even before with some of the Japanese original toys. Still a great educational item that for me is a must have addition to my collection. 5 stars!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

"My review of the Transformers Vault."
This is something I had been meaning to buy for quite some time now. Now, I can look at this whenever I'm not too occupied or busy doing other things. The price for this piece of Transformers work is considerably reasonable, in my opinion. I would definitely recommend this piece of Transformers work to any collector or fan of any age group.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
