The Transformers are getting the pop up book treatment by Matthew Reinhart, and he’s shared some previews. The books will feature large versions of our favorite characters, mixing generations and styles for a well rounded dip into the Transformers universe. Check out preview shots of the book after the break!

I actually already own this pop-up book! My local bookstore may have broken street date by… a month or so? Would people like me to take pictures of it?
Paxtin
That's kind of crazy.
IaconStargazer
That's exactly the appeal of this book – the pop-ups themselves can transform!
LegendAntihero
The engineering in this pop up book is brilliant.
That Guy
Has it been mentioned that it looks like the first two pictures are from the same place in the pop up book?
I wonder if you'll be able to open the book, and you see the alt mode pop up, then you can pop that up into the robot mode! That'd be cool.
ZacWilliam
Yes. Apparently this book will be using a bunch of Aligned Bible designs.
-ZacWilliam, I'm excited to see them.
Shin Densetsu
i LOVE those Bumblebee and Prime designs. Are those from the design Bible for aligned continuity?

I'm not signing up for facebook either but the pics are showing for me
Murasame
Can't see the images. I'm not on Facebook. I will never ever be.
LegendAntihero
Where can I get this? Will this be in comic shops or Barnes and Nobles?
IaconStargazer
For some reason, I've been seeing ads for this in the occasional DC issue I've gotten.
But whatever. This looks REALLY cool! Pop-up books already involve a lot of creativity, but pop-up images big and small that can transform is something amazing. Unless early reviews say the book sucks, I'm definitely gonna get this.

Is he dryhumping that tower?
Omega Charge
Same here, I had it in an Amazon wish list and the price was hovering around $30 for months, then today it dropped to $22 and I pulled the trigger.
And from the pics it looks like this thing is going to be so awesome.
ZacWilliam
Oh that's hilarious. Someone posted a clear pic of the Dinobots page.
They accidentally switched two of the Functions. Swoop is now the Dinobot's Swamp Warrior and Sludge is their Bombardier.
-ZacWilliam, I'd love to see a comics strip of each of them trying out their new jobs. Flying Brontosaur away! ;p

-ZacWilliam, the giant Omega pop-up is still my favorite. Also I think I see a Prime style Arcee in G1 colors on one of the early pages. Interesting. I would have prefered a reverse of that.

Well *I* just pre-ordered this thing.

Ben Yee has posted some pic of the Book from the Hasbro event tonight to Facebook.

-ZacWilliam, though Transforming Optimus is hard to beat…
Chris McFeely
Wait, wait, hang on – does that pop-up truck actually TRANSFORM into that pop-up Optimus? SORCERY.
Cadbane
Been waiting for it since Botcon.

I'm actually thinking of trying this one day one. I like the artwork on it so far.
