The name or term "Ark" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Ark (disambiguation).

Transformers: The Ark - A Complete Compendium of Character Designs is possibly the most geek-tastic Transformers book ever, collecting 500+ animation character models from America and Japan. Authors Jim Sorenson and Bill Forster acquired many of the pieces of art through Bob Budiansky; some had degraded over time and had to be manually and digitally restored.

It is put out by IDW Publishing. Despite its ultra-narrow audience, it broke #30,000 on Amazon.com's sales rankings.

Trivia

  • The cover image does not actually use the character models contained within the book. Wow.
  • Early promotional art for this book had the alternate subtitle A Complete Compendium of Transformers Animation Models, and as of this writing the book is still listed on Amazon.com using that subtitle.(Feb-27-08)
