During the IDW Botcon panel the next book from Jim Sorenson and Bill Forster was announced as Legacy: The Box Art of the Transformers. As the name suggests, the book will the box art that was used with the toys, bringing together material from Japan, the US and, with luck, Europe.
Here's Jim to tell you more
"Legacy: The Box Art of The Transformers is going to be something special. I've been working on it for a while now, and I'm really amazingly pleased with how well it is going. We've been working with Hasbro, Part One (the parent company of eHobby), and numerous private collectors to pull together the definitive coffee table book of Transformers packaging art.
A lot of things, like the date and the page count, are still up in the air. However, here's what has already been decided on:
1: The scope will be G1 and G2. No Beast Wars or beyond. We'll be covering every year in the US, as well as the entire Japanese set of releases. It's possible that we might get Europe in too, if we can find the material. That remains to be seen.
2: The extras will be substantial. We're talking essays and interviews with the original artists, modern repaints of vintage artwork (think eHobby exclusives), unused box art, production sketches for box art and more.
3: In terms of scale, we've got more then 300 images in hand, and more than 150 additional pieces pledged. I'd like to get those numbers up, so if you are a collector of the originals, drop me a line!"

Million Publishing have announced that a new Transformers Generations Book will be released on the 18th November 2010, though no further details have been given though the image on the Million Publishing website, based around a poster for Transformers The Movie, includes Masterpiece Rodimus, and "Welcome to 2010" Unicron so most likely the book will be a collection of the three latest Generations Books plus the newer 2010 toy releases.
You can view a listing for the book on Amazon Japan as well as the announcement on the Million
Publishing website
Snakas has published another round-up of the information in this months hobby magazines that were released in Japan over the last few days. For those that can not understand Japanese, we have published a brief summary below
Figure King 119
There is an article discussing Trans-Scanning Optimus Prime, in particular it discusses how the gimmick works. A image of a prototype is included in the article.
There is a comparison between the original Sky Lynx figure and the upcoming re-issue. Snakas points out that some of the detail, especially on the interior and around the eyes show the the Encore edition have more detail.
Images were shown of Transformers Henkei (the Japanese Transformers Classics line) Optimus Prime, Megatron and Bumblebee. All of the figures were shown to be more cartoon accurate than the western release.
The four AllSpark figures will be released in Japan in February. Images are shown of the toys along with the AllSpark toy itself.
There is yet more confirmation that the Masterpiece Starscream USA edition figure, when release in Japan, will be switched back to the Japanese mold where the tail finds were a slightly different shape to their US release.
More information was included on the green Transformers Encore Emergency Ratchet as well as the Revoltech Starscream and Hot Rodimus.
Finally there is a note that more Star Wars Transformers figures will be released in Japan in 2008
Dengeki Hobby (Blitz Hobby) - Feb issue
Again more comparisons and images on the Encore Skylynx toy, though they are not as detailed as the Figure King article.
Dengeki also includes the images of Transformers Henkei Optimus Prime, Megatron and Starscream.
More images of the Transformers Movie scene figures are shown.
There is an article and more images on the e-Hobby black Ironhide as well as the Revoltech figures and Star Wars Transformers.
Japanese Transformers Movie Incinerator
Snakas notes that going by the images published within the two magazines, and comparing them to the recent eBay auctions for Transformers Movie Incinerator, it appears that the Japanese version of the toy will be a different colour. The Japanese figure is much closer to the the Ospreys that appeared within the live action Transformers Movie, not only in their colour scheme, but also in the number on the side of the helicopter.
