The Ark series
From MediaWiki
| The name or term "Ark" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Ark (disambiguation). |
The Ark series is a series of non-fiction guidebooks chronicling Transformers character models produced by Jim Sorenson and Bill Forster beginning in the year 2007.
Despite being a specialty product printed on heavy-stock premium paper which caters to a fantastically small audience, the series has sold absurdly well.
