I Transformers stop-motion series could work, as a movie or tv show. All they have to do is get a bunch of Masterpiece and Generations toys, create some sets and boom! It could show the wonders of stop-motion. Look at some of the influential YouTube creators and their videos. I think the series can be cheaply made and used to sell toys! Hasbro does make stop-motion videos, but I think they can take it to the next level.
Travis Knight even has a studio for stop-motion animation, with critical acclaim! Although not successful money-wise. But, a Transformers film could save the company!

 

Would be cool

 

There’s no way I could sit through 30mins+ unless it was a butter smooth 60fps. But the YouTube videos have been awesome.

 

I wouldn't be opposed to it.

 

I'd be all for it, why not? It'd definitely take a lot of time and effort to make a good one, but I'd love to see it.

 

Definitely do it if it's the same high standard currently on Youtube!

 

If they ever did do a film based on that idea it'd probably be a robot chicken kind of thing.

 

We've seen it before, but the medium is extremely time consuming to produce in a quality manner, and someone limited in what it can portray compared to other forms of animation. There's a reason robot chicken episodes were only 15 minutes long, and 'cheated' with a lot of claymation. The laika stuff is sort of the top of the heap, and even it struggles.

So sure, make a bunch of shorts as YouTube content or string them together into an anthology, but I don't expect epic storytelling and brain-melting visual energy from stop motion for Transformers.

 

I would love a stop-motion film (or show), but not like the YouTube fan-films. I wouldn't want them to use existing toys. I'd prefer them create higher quality models. Since it's stop-motion, they could easily use separate models for the robot, and the transformation. (sort of like how the movies and cartoons use different CGI models). The vehicle mode could even be a real prop car. This would make the designs less-limited, and less toy-like.

I would also like to see stop-motion Transformers put alongside real actors. I'm actually shocked that fan-films don't do this. It wouldn't be hard to film yourself and your friends in front of a greenscreen and place them in the video. Or film the toys in front of a greenscreen, and place them in real locations. I would much prefer that to Lego figures or something.
