    Hmmm Hot Rod must have been reading Arthur C Clarke :D 
    Yeah there's a subtle difference between Timelord science and OptimusTimelord science - mine is best of course ;)  (there's one for the Latin scholars among you :lol  )
    Thanks everyone!

    Here is a series of stop-motion test shots I did to get back into the grove doing stop-motion and I forgot how much I loved it. I mainly learned that
    A. Spinister is a fake it till you make it transformation (In 4 photos I completely transformed his legs on there own).
    B. The Furai figures are really fun with there diverse articulation, my one problem is the ball-jointed wrists are very weak causing them to fall over. other than that I do recommend them.

    Right guys, since we were talking about the Timelord Science aspect of all this, it got me wondering how far I could push the boundaries :cool:  And thus, via some dimensionally transcendental physics, the impossible has been rendered real. Frankly I had no right to expect this to actually work at all, it was a ridiculous idea, but I had a hunch how it could be done, and I'm amazed how well the method has turned out.

    This is where science becomes magic; Behold the insanity of the G1 toon logic made real... !!

    I was honestly wondering not too long ago how you’d work your magic to recreate this scene. Suffice to say, I’m not disappointed.:thumbs2:

    What is this dark art? Clever use of a larger-scale model vanette? Or just lots and lots (and lots) of Photoshop?

    The best stop motion always leaves you wondering how the HELL they pulled that off, and oh boy am I wondering. It's so seamless! This is your best work yet :D

    Roughly 30 years later and this scene still baffles me scientifically speaking. This and the question of "how does Iron Man fit all his armor in a brief case?" still haunts my childhood.:lol
