Transformers Legacy Book Details and a Call Out to Collectors For Needed Images

But that's not all! We realize that this artwork is already available online, albeit at a lower level of quality, and wanted to pack the book with extras. We managed to speak to a good eight of the original artists and get their insight into what it was like to make these pieces. We found quite a bit of unreleased artwork, art for toys that never came out. We found a bit of art in the same style used for other purposes, like catalogs and puzzles, and feature that as well. Finally, we include some art in the same style that was used for pre-Transformers toys (Microman, Diaclone and more) and some of the modern art in the same style as used by Fun Publications and eHobby.

Many fans have been eager to help make this project a success. While the end is in sight, Bill and I have a few more weeks to finalize things. Here's a list of everything we're missing. If you have the original art for this, or a transparency or first generation photo negative, drop us a line:

US G1:
Quickmix

US Astrotrain (Train Mode)
US Trypticon
US Piranacon (*Can use a box scan of this, just need his weapon)

Action Masters:
Bumblebee, Jackpot, Rollout, Skyfall,
Sprocket (bot), Wheeljack (bot), Optimus Prime (Bot only), Prowl (both)
Banzai-Tron, Devastator, Krok, Shockwave, Treadshot
Starscream (both), Axer (both)

US G2:
Windrazor, Autobot Cyber Jets, Auto-Roller Roadblock, Gobots (2nd wave). I'd also like the watch artwork. Unused G2 artwork, especially from the tail-end of the line, would also be very cool.

Japanese G1:
Dino cassettes: Graphy, Noise, Dial, Saur
Sparkdash: Hardspark, Hotspark, Wildspark
Six-Knight, Road King (*Can use a box scan of this, just need his chest)

Rocket Base (*Can use a box scan of this)
Battle Patrol (Micromasters)
Super Car Patrol (Micromasters)

Europe:
Virtually all, but especially at least one of the battle murals from the back. Pyro and Clench are personal favorites. I find the Rescue Force and the new Scrapper art pretty cool too.

Catalog and Puzzle:
There was a bit of catalog and puzzle artwork created in the same style around this time frame, I'd like to feature some in the book.

Diaclone / Microman:
Diaclone and Microman artwork is also of interest. Omnibots, Bumper (that is to say, MC-04 Mini CAR Robo 02 Familia 1500XG), Kronoformers, Powerdashers would be high on the list of priorities. I'm also partial to Powered Convoy, and the blue Blaster Microman artwork.

Other:
I'd like to get my hands on the micromaster combiner back-of-the-box artwork that's in a kind of cartoony style, especially from the Combiner boxes. Oddities, like the Tyco sets, are also of interest. Any unused package art, guys that never actually came out or alternate variants for guys who did, are of keen interst.

Upgrades:
There are also some that I have decent quality pics of but I'd like to upgrade, mostly from 87:

Galvatron
Throttlebots
Terrorcons except for Hun-Grrrr
Japanese Computron, Strafe, Lightspeed, Afterburner
Laser Optimus Prime
G2 Sideswipe
G2 Gobots (wave 1)

If you have any of this material and want to help, please drop me a line.
