Honestly, I really like the idea of just making a model myself from scratch that has all the parts necessary to transform on its own and then just using that. I know it's way more work but it feels like it would be extremely satisfying.

As a learning transformers animator I make my models myself while using the action figure method which is honestly much easier

I wouldn't lie, I would love a tuto for the "Ideal methode" for each archetype, rolling vehicles, flying and animals, really this can be so lovely 😭

You have somewhat cursed yourself for the sake of the people because it's now a lot easier to spot these. Thankyou none the less.

There is also a 4th method that is a combination of these.

You have 3 models: ALT mode (a model of ALT mode), TRANS mode (an 'action figure' model that has all the parts for both modes (if applicable to the transformation -- i.e. BOT mode has parts that cannot fit within ALT mode)), and BOT mode (a model based on the BOT mode).

You can use the TRANS mode model whenever there is a transformation, so you have all parts from both modes without using a 'TRANS' mode model - that has lots of polys - in every scene... I think(?)

Sorry for any bad English.

Great video! Really informative, always wondered how transformations in SFM were done. I'd be tempted to try it out myself, but I'll probably explode my brain from trying to figure it all out. Maybe some time xD Keep it up man!

9:47 I just started laughing so hard because of how cursed it is to have the Last Knight Design for Megatron (his head and fusion cannon) put on his Revenge of the fallen tank alt mode, when he turns into a jet

Seeing how transformers mass shift makes transformation animation easier
