Can confirm that this rooted my B70 TF101 without issue. Thanks for the link!
In the download description at http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/#download it states:
1. Only suitable for Andriod4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS version. (not responsible for misspelling lol)
Has anyone tried the unlock tool while on the latest jellybean update?

Most devices require that you install every update from where you are, to the last update. Meaning if you are on Android 4.0.1 and ASUS released a 4.0.3 (ICS), 4.0.4 (ICS) and finally a 4.1.1 update you will have to install all three.
This on behalf of a coworker, who's developing an app for the TF201.
He accidentally did an OTA upgrade to JB. Unfortunately, the client's acceptance testing is only for ICS (please don't ask, and please don't say the app should be made to work with JB), and he needs to downgrade the Transformer back to ICS.
The device has not been unlocked and has not been rooted. It was stock ICS before the upgrade and is currently stock JB.
I don't have much experience with the Transformer, though I've mucked around with alternative ROMs for my B&N Nook Color and my Galaxy S.
Do we need to do the following?
1. Unlock the bootloader (using the V6 unlock tool from Asus, even though it's labeled as being for ICS)
2. Install ClockworkMod
3. Use CWM to install the ICS binary images that we get from Asus
On one of the threads discussing a JB to ICS downgrade, someone noted that there's no way to revert the JB bootloader to the ICS one. If that's the case, what are the implications of that?
Thanks.

Unless you did the nvflash process before going up to Jellybean (which you haven't because you are not even unlocked) then you cannot go back to ICS. Do not even attempt it you will brick the tablet.
Hi!
I'm a happy user of the ATP since this summer. When I buy it, it comes with ICS (Android 4.0), and when Android 4.1 was released, I didn't wait to an official upgrade: I follow the instructions and unlocked with the official ASUS application and then installed CWM 5.8.2.0 and a CyanogenMod 10 nightly.
Now, I want to move forward, but I read some thing about different bootloaders and I prefer to be more careful than I usually am.
First, I don't if I can return to an official ASUS ROM with my actual configuration (unknown bootloader, CWM 5.8.2.0 andCM10 nightly).
Second, I don't know if there is an thread about the official ROMs (I was unable to find any).
Third, I don't know if the latest ASUS ROMs are Android 4.2.1, 4.2 or 4.1.
[cry mode]In addtion, trying to look my bootloader version I made a mess and wipe my user data, so this is the perfect momentum to move backward/forward and put my ATP in the "right way".[/cry]
Thanks in advance and best regards
Ok, I just have found a thread about the official updates and it looks like ASUS is still on 4.1 (not bad!).
So, One of my questions is answered
I hope that when you say "unlocked" you mean after getting nvflash access:

http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/
(will save you from bricking)
Generally, you have the ICS bootloader and the JB bootloader. Most roms now require the JB bootloader, so if you're looking to flash new roms, especially something like craigmcgomez's unofficial AOKP/CM roms (based on 4.2), you'll need the JB bootloader. I simply used this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927494
This is the official worldwide ASUS update (there's also a US version in another thread, not sure if these are still the most up-to-date), but it's 4.1 (.2?), rooted and it comes with TWRP recovery (I prefer over CMW5), but most importantly, it comes with the new JB bootloader. I understand you won't be able to return to the ICS bootloader after you update to the JB bootloader, but I don't see a reason why you'll want to. Either way, you can flash this even if you're on the ICS bootloader (and if you're already on the JB bootloader).
After you flash this you can flash JB bootloader-compatible roms. I recommend AndroWook or AOKP. I'm on AndroWook, but I'm waiting for official CM10.1.
If I'm not mistaken, the CM10 nightlies work on the ICS bootloader, and 10.1 will officially support the JB bootloader only, so my guess is you're on the ICS bootloader. If you updated to stock 4.1.x or any rom that says it comes with the JB bootloader, then you know you've got the JB bootloader, otherwise you're probably on ICS bootloader.
Thanks WiW for your answer.
I don't know if I have unlocked the Nvflash...
I refer to using the Asus tool for being able to enter to the bootloader/recovery (when the message "This device is unlocked"appears on the top left corner when the Nvidia logo is on the screen.
I will check all your links now. A lot of thanks for you time!

Now reading your two first links I'm pretty sure that I didn't unlock my NVflash. I only unlocked my bootloader for being able to flash a recovery, just that.

Well, if you're not sure you can follow this guide and see if it works for you. If you did not follow the steps from the previous links I posted, I think there isn't much you can do about it...
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was able and I successfully unlocked and backup my files with NVflash.
I installed the official Asus ROM and the JB bootloader and TWP Recovery.
After that I've installed the Androwook, as you suggested. It works fine, but I expected 4.2... my fault, I didn't read the entire AndroWook post.
A lot of thanks WiW
