My first thought when the hand-print showed up on the screen: "Run back and get your arm!" BUT then I felt a sense of total and utter despair when I saw that it needed HEAT signatures, which the dead arm wouldn't give off. I also really loved how this character wasn't your run-of-the-mill good treasure-hunting guy - if he'd succeeded, we basically would've seen the uprising of a villain.

Such an excellent animation!

Rewatching this after two years and I still want a full show/movie with this story and art style it’s fucking perfect

[khaiphamba]

I swear, that warning sound and that "screaming" of the robot is absolutely terrifying!

[av-cad]

this is why you keep your normal arms, you should add extra arms if you want mechanical ones

[enlightening.wisdom]

This would be a badass videogame haha. Let's hope

[alexhackett]

Moral of the story: limbs are important.

This is AMAZING, I have no words to describe my feelings. The picture is just gorgeous, the sound, the dynamics, the story. The creators did a great job! I'm going to review this video more than once!

[AWhite-klrb]

The ending is amazing because his greed and sick determination made him ignore losing his arm which would've costed his life if it weren't for the fact that that the arm he sacrificed long ago was needed to survive. So even if he cared about his severed arm it still wouldn't be enaught because from the beginning his adventure had been doomed.

[cannella]

WOW
He was the villain all the time!
And it's impossible to dominate the world with that X robot! Because everyone has robotic left arms and the machine needed real hands! This is

[MoroccanNeteroo]

what i loved the most in this :
transitions between scenes,
and the good/bad characters thing, it was well done even the look of the principle character was "good character" looking. love it.

[gngerbred]

This animation is literally worthy of a full motion picture

[TrueBlueBoogie]

Engaging yet simple story line. I've seen roughly 50 CG bros shorts and this is definitely in the top 3! Fantastic art work, great action sequences, and dramatic shifts from light to dark environments. We always say in film: "the Big 3; sound, composition and framing" and this short has all 3 in spades! The music complimented the emotional moments and created an admiration for the hero. I really wanted to see him win. 5 Stars!

[martyschrader]

The sound is what I best remember about this piece. So nicely done.

[zoran]

The main character was bad and evil because he was happy to get control of that beast to destroy the world

Best animation

[cathyvickers]

Be careful what you give up; be careful what you accept.
(i.e., flesh & blood; & an unspecified treasure!)

[cameronmefford]

In our quest for power we often give up our humanity.

[marymikel]

Love how the mechanical monster made a silhouette of an X as if he lost the game.

[takocake]

why do I feel like its a video game show case.

[RougeCommi]

Futuristic and amazing story and animation

[naminogiri]

love to see an adventure platform with this animatics
