    What I'm gathering from some responses to this pic is that it's a little fishy...

    I hadn't seen it, but I hope LazyEyebrow has - since it uses his work! (yes there's a couple of shots in that sequence by me, but I don't think the guitarist was aware of that).

    Great stuff though :rock 
    I was just thinking about what I could use for alternate music a few days ago, for a future project (trying to find ways of making vids that Hasbro doesn't prevent me earning money from).

    Actually he had messaged asking permission, I directed him to your channel after he uploaded it as apparently he was unaware of a lot of my work and entirely unaware of yours as well

    Real smmooooth :dj 
    That must really take some patience! Yeah folks do say the same thing to me, but most of my animation requires a lot less frames to get from one mode to the other - I'm sure even I would get bored after a few hours on one figure. Closest I came to this sort of thing was probably the vid of MP Star Saber's transformation sequence, but even that was broken up by the fast pace and quicker cutting.
    That's cool then, glad he approached you :thumb 
    Great stuff! Nice little movements as he lands. I can't believe how good these Legends figures look with so simple transformations. MP is kind of trying a little too hard these days for my liking, with the sheer volume of part count and steps involved and faux alt mode bits etc... I miss the pure joy of switching between modes in clever elegant ways, the way this sort of figure does it. It's only the tiny size that puts me off.

    So, a question for @OptimusTimelord or anybody else, But do you know where I can find the G1 Sound Effects? I already have the Soundtrack saved to my computer, but I'm working with ER Optimus and I would like to use some of them in his Transformation sequence and trailer magic, but I can't find them on YT.

    this should be the site, but it says it's having difficulties http://www.thetfcog.com/sound-effects

    idk if it's just today or if the site is so old (this was posted 14 years ago) that's shut down or what

    From what I remember, the tfcog.com site is literally just short audio clips directly from the cartoon (I think it was pre-DVD days?) so you'd get the same result just ripping audio yourself. AFAIK there isn't a collection of the isolated effects themselves (I pretty much just use the finished soundtracks as-is for my vids). I know a lot of the effects were recycled from other things (Star Wars etc), so depending what you're after there may be other ways to find them.
    Well that's just Prime! :thumb 
    Top work! Now build a rig that does mass shifting ;)
