    Yeah it is indeed MT. For the record, I don't feel that any of the 3rd party Reflectors definitively nailed him as an MP. But in body proportions/sculpt I like MT best (shame they didn't have as nice a paint/finish as the others - I've added a couple of paint apps of my own, such as purple on the feet and silver around the chest/face).

    Wow, you make it look so effortless. Love how the animated humans interact with the stop motion. How'd you do that?!?!? It's beautiful.

    Thanks bud!
    Ha ha, I frickin' hate animated humans, they're a right pain! I have to 'cut them out' of their original frames so that I can layer them above the stop-motion. End result does look good though...
    Cheers dude :thumb

    ^ Thanks Coaxial. At the risk of sounding immodest, I didn't feel the Beachcomber gif was particularly above my average... but I do think this one is among my best :)  Also, four transformations in one is the most I''ve done so far I believe :)

    You sir are amazing. It's a shame we can't get someone to finance you to make the first three episodes.

    SWEET JAYSUS!!!!!!! I know it's obvious but you are actually getting better at this, which is frightening as you were already the boss. That Tracks transform is heaven to watch.

    All the best

    Ha ha, cheers brother! :thumb 
    The first ep for sure, I've got other plans after that :ev: 
    Soundwave3k beat me to it, but yes it's Revenge of Bruticus (the next MP ReAnimated vid I'm working on).
    Lol I love TT Megs but all I can think about is having to reshoot the Apollyon stuff! I might hang on a bit longer, cos I''d much prefer a silver deco MP-36 to work with...
    You'll like my next vid then :D 
    Thanks Maz :)  If I've learnt one thing along the way, it's that the trick is to make it look simple (even when it means added work to achieve that!) :lol
