    It's a high res Con symbol, I then used corner pin to warp the image and frame by frame match it up, glad you liked it = P

    And.......yeeeeeaaaahhh. see my wife and I love applying the stickers together and she tackled laserbeak, she didn't know what the tape parts were all about and put it like the way you see. It's bothered me for the past 4 years but I also don't want to have to buy an entirely new set just to fix one mistake = P

    Otherwise you should look up the reprolabel set for MP soundwave, even if you don't end up wanting it, I found the details it gave the cassette cases incredible

    Those bumpers are the best thing to wake up to. Especially when my stomach is screwed up. Smiling releasing stomach relaxing endorphins lol.

    Some day I'd love to see a stop motion version of the very first original Transformers comic book commercial that started it all.


    The commercial blew my mind as a kid. I'd never seen anything like it. It's a good thing I was too little back then to know what the five fingered shuffle was or else my TV screen would have looked like the inside of a cream donut if ya know what I mean! [​IMG]

    Ah, I see! Yeah that would drive me crazy too :lol 
    I've seen this here and there (and the Marvel UK comic would often use stills from it on the covers or intro pages/giveaways), and it always has a special charm to it, like seeing some kind of alternate universe version of Transformers. Look at the Ark!! IIRC all the toy commercials had strangely un-Sunbow style animation, but they were always cool to see on tv... It would be great to see them redone with stop-motion replacing the animation and MPs in place of the G1 toys, but I've got far too many projects lined up already! Perhaps a future avenue for @LazyEyebrow :lol

    So anyway, here's that transformation cheat I mentioned I'd been working on. Possibly the ultimate cheat! I've done this mainly because I wanted something to replace Quakewave in the closing credits of my vids (Yes, I have got MP Shockwave, but I'm still hoping for a darker/shinier deco of him).

    The good news is, this is the final piece in my latest ReAnimated project! So that should be up later.

    Cheers bud!
    Thanks guys :)  Uploading to YT now...
    Lol! I know it doesn't make much sense for the Autobots and Decepticons to have their familiar robot forms back in ancient Cybertronian history, but like everything with my vids I wanted to stay true to that memory, and this is about as close as I could get to making it real!

    Yep, just the alt modes of course! I had to tweak the colour a bit too, to get them to match.

    So, here's the latest ReAnimated video. Long time readers of this thread may recognise the Soundwave/Ravage part in the middle, which was the first bit of test footage I did before ReAnimated was even a thing...

    BRAVO!!!!!!!!
    This is brilliant and made my day! Some of my favorite Season 1 characters are in these scenes, and I love the way that More Than Meets The Eye introduced us to them. If only the live action movies had been done in this spirit.

    Thanks, OptimusTimelord, for creating these treasures and sharing them with the fandom.

    This thread is garbage. Where are the stop-motion gifs for the G1 Jumpstarters? Some people...

    I've spent a fair amount of time watching your animations, frame by frame sometimes, and recreating in my mind how I would pull off doing the same thing with rotoscoping, masking, lighting, editing, rendering and compositing, etc... 200w.gif

    Cheers! Consider them my gift to the fandom :wink: 
    Ta! :thumb 
    :lolol  If I actually had any G1 Jumpstarters I'd post a gif of one just for you! At least I wouldn't have to do any animating :lol 

    But I don't, so here, have some Spike and Hound instead...

    Ah yes, only those who understand animation can sense the true horror!

    Awesome! Shared your video on my page. I'll be one of the first persons in line to put my support in case you setup funding page. I'm sure a lot of people would help out as well. Thank you for sharing. I hope one day to see a full episode the way you do it. :)
