Hey all, just thought I would pop by and share my current project. I've wanted to try my hand at modelling a Transformer that can actually... transform for a while but my time has been tied up doing stuff for Palisdes. Now that's through, this is what I've been working on since.
I started out by finding a pretty low res Audi TT mesh and proceeded to chop it up into the parts I needed for the transformation. At first I thought I could shortcut it and increase the polycount using meshsmooth modifiers, but it just wasn't working so I salvaged what parts of the original mesh i could by deleting problem areas and re-modelling while adding polys, and some parts I modelled from scratch using the originals as a refrence. Here's a pic of theoriginal mesh: 
And the current state of the car mode: 
There's still a lot of work to do on the lower/rear half (I've just started to rough out the thighs) and I haven't settled on whether the legs a gonna follow the Meister or the Subaru bros. transformation but I think I'd prefer the rear windows on the shin look, plus I think the Meister method would look rather odd during animation with the legs flying and twisting around all over the place.
Robot mode:  
I have a repaint remold in mind already, can anyone name what character the Binaltech-ised headsculpt is supposed to be? (also shown without mouthplate just for fun  )  |

Without the faceplate.... I'm getting a cross between Blurr and Moonracer for some reason.
Until then there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties.
Just go forward in all your beliefs, and proove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.

The sloped forehead is very starsaber, too. This is a hard one to guess. | |

Keep it up.
