First Look at Hasbro Sketchbook Volume 1

Just in is a first look at the soon to be released Hasbro Sketchbook Volume 1 2008. Here's an opportunity to see concept drawings and sketches of things that made it to the shelf and didn't.

The Transformers page features early Lockdown drawings, Universe Sunstreaker design, G1 Robot Masters and what we can only guess is a Universe Rhinox?

Chances are the Sketchbook will show up at SDCC later this month.

Check out the V1 images below.

Yeah, that's not Lockdown. That's a Stegosaurus Dinobot of some sort. The Rhinobot looks pretty cool. Too bad they can't translate these designs properly into three dimensions. The final products always seem lifeless compared to the design art.

Hey look, animated snarl. or will he be slag if he gets made?

He'd probably be Sludge or even Slapper or Striker or something else. Apparently the meaning of the word "Slag" in the UK informed Hasbro's decision to not reuse that character name.

I know the name has those connotations over here but it's still a shame.

It'd be awesome to go into a shop and buy a slag, or point hime out loud :tfgrin

Sounds like me and that Bimbo-brand pastries, a few years back. I was at some bread store, and went "Hey, mom! look! Bimbos!" pointed in the general direction of the snacks(which would of been right across from me), and on the other side of the table was a couple of old ladies. :tflaugh

Anyhow, between this and the Ark books IDW is putting out, I want. Anyone know how much they are?
