[Maya Animation] Mecha Sonic Powers Up

An extremely short animation featuring the amazing Mecha Sonic model made by Tromak. Go check out his twitter, yo!

Animated in Autodesk Maya

Sprites-turned models should be a regular thing. The effect is amazing.

The models look like the DS character models and it made me all nostalgic.

POV: You are a red echidna just trying to get some rocks back.

3D sprites is the best looking thing 😲

[RogueInBlue]

Sonic fans: oh this is pretty cool!
SMBZ fans: *PANIC*

I keep thinking Mecha Sonic was going to say: “I’LL CRUSH YOU!!!”

Years have passed and I still can't find a 3D animation of Mecha Sonic as good as this one.

*"I'LL CRUSH YOU!"*

Mecha Sonic. Great in design, greater in execution...

Is it just me coming back to this video every few months just to appreciate how smooth and well animated this whole thing was? From the over all visuals to the camera angles and lighting just makes it look sorta like something you would get from an official sonic game and we can all agree we would adore if we got a sonic animated series or game with this same art style and such. The closest thing we've got is fan games but I'm sure sooner or later some inspired game dev will maybe see this and decided "yeah I like this idea" now if you don't mind me I'll replay this video just like you are probably doing a few more times before going to watch something else. See ya.

That's his intro in a fighting game

Glad I found this again, such a great animation. Would love to see the old genesis games redone in this style.

Odd note, in the original sprites for Mecha Sonic, the core bit seen in the chest is actually Mecha's eye. The sprites for when it's chest opens, it's head tilts back as well revealing the core. When placed up with the other sprites in this animation it shows that the core lines up with where it's eye is at in its head.

It was only 22 seconds...
But it was THE BEST 22 SECONDS OF MY LIFE

[plzletmein]

0:10 mecha sonic after going 0.012 seconds without saying *I’ll crush you!!!*

As a child, I remember seeing this boss the first time. Before he ever ran out of energy...I thought to myself as someone who abused Super Sonic before...HOW ON EARTH CAN I WIN THIS? as knuckles~

[RedMetalHead]

Seeing Mecha Sonic’s body fall in S3&K always made me paranoid that he might return...

[DM]

Holy crap, the effects, the transitins, the camera angles are astounding, it's amazing what people can do and accomplish.

"Hippity-Hoppity, your Master Emerald is now my property!" -Mecha Sonic

[charleskarter]

This is so insanely good. It's a bit baffling that there isn't more of this in existence.
