I'm currently in animation school and my lord, this is possibly the greatest bayverse Optimus prime transformation I've seen outside the movie. Every piece moving with such intricate detail and almost none of it appears to clash or morph, which is a common thing with bayverse style transformations we see in YouTube. This is a masterpiece, man congrats on the superb work

I can just Imagine his legs sticking out and other bots trying to push them back into alt mode

[OmegaZard]

Man, that was insanely animated. The attention to detail was so good. Keep on going with stuff like this 👍

How many polygons does this Optimus have? ☠️ Amazing animation, bro

This is mind blowing 🎉

And if anyone expects this dude to give out these wonderful models for free, just remember you ain’t paying for the days he put into this, or the years of his experience

Give the artists some of their much needed value, especially in this age of AI generated nonsense !

This is one of those things that doesn't loose the magic when seeing behind the curtain, well done!

[Jillatrix]

That, THAT is something that leaves me speechless ❤

[JeffersonPalad-hvho]

This is just like the Optimus prime in the live action movies, keep it up

Every time I've watched Prime start to rise up its given me chills. Thank you for sharing your talents and skill at creation with us.

theres a tf1 documentary of its production they were talking about showing purely optimus transforming is just impossible they use off screen to hide physically impossible movements for the parts coming out of nowhere

I love seeing the method and technique used, i think what impress me is what type of method to transform optimus, you dont see a complete transformation with a lot of the part but you only see the area that are being viewed on screen to transform while the area not being viewed are either never transforming or just being used as a platform to load the next sequence of the transforming parts. Ive seen a russian youtuber that has bumblee first transforming scene from transformer 1. From there video you can see the back never transforming but you see the front of the car transform from that you only see bumblee ONLY having the front part of the car rigged on to its body while the back never even transformed or even animated and you can see pieces resize or become hidden out of sight which ease the rigging.

The takeway is just from an animation viewpoint its very VERY difficult to animate a complex piece into another form without having to be abstract with the pieces or hide some pieces from sight, seeing videos like this breaks the illusion that every robot transform with every part which isnt true in the movie as you can see optimus transforming always differently depending on the view and the position hes in. Anyways enough me yapping, great work👍

That is so cool that you got to animate such an awesome character 😀🔥🔥
I used to love watching that movie when I was a kid thousands and thousands of times 😁😁

[ohhhleonid]
