    I am trying to make as realistic as possible depiction of Cybertron as I can, the textures are all hand made except the clouds. Next I need to start adding more details, possibly some oceans and night side lights. Then it's on to the moons!

    Oh. Well, I'm old, and it's been a pretty long time since I watched the old show. :)  Good prize!

    Just some details, it's about the size as Mars but with the mass of Earth, day Length is 1.57 "Earth Days" year is about 8 earth years.

    It is about 1.28 Au from it's parent star Rigel Kentaurus A, part of the Alpha Centuari triple star system, consequently there are two "Suns" visible in the sky. One being it's parent star and the other Rigel Kentaurus B, which lies about 40 Au out from A (about Neptune's orbit) It appears as a very bright star visible even during the day.

    Proxima, the third star in the cluster is too dim to be visible during daylight, even when the planet is at a point in it's orbit where you could see Proxima at night it's a very dim almost 5th magnitude star.

    From Cybertron our sun shines at .46 Magnitude (pretty bright!).

    I like it! Without the explanation there, I would've thought that was the post-BM techno-organic world.
