The Ark series
From MediaWiki
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.

The Ark series
- 2007 — Transformers: The Ark — Character models for the US cartoon.
- 2008 — Transformers: The Ark II — Character models for the Japanese cartoon
- 2009 — Transformers: The Complete Ark — Omnibus addition of v1 and v2, with edits, additions, corrections and new content to replace pages that were dropped because they overlapped between the two volumes.
The Ark Addendum
In addition to the Ark book series, Jim Sorenson has published several Ark Addendums on his blog, featuring character models too trivial to include in the book, or expanded profiles (such as weapon details) which simply could not fit in the print edition.
