!!!WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY!!!This is the scene that set the tone for the entire 1986 film. My first stop motion short film ever!Using all G1 and Masterpiece figures, I plan to re-do all the most memorable scenes from the animated 1986 movie so expect more to come. Be sure to watch the credits at the end to see what's next. If you are interested in how I made the short, check out my "Behind the Scenes" Video. Special thanks to:Trabludog - Ebay seller and Ironhide/Rachet head sculptor.Ariana Chandra - Additional Character IsolationDarriel Ginelsa - Additional After Effects Animation Alan Wong - Additional Character Isolation & Equipment

Nov 19, 2008 - when megatron transformed back to robot mode was an extra sound inserted?
asiguido Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - Lol, yes. I added that and a few sounds to match the timing of animation and audio. So far, you and one other individual noticed them.

asiguido Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - Some of the backgrounds I completley re-drew from scratch on photoshop. The rest I had to fill in. Check out my behind the scenes video.

Nov 19, 2008 - lol that was me! heh heh
Primus1101 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - is it true that trying to do a stop-motion transformation of masterpiece megs is hard as hell?
SJHFoto Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - That was excellent! I was 10 when this came out and hated seeing the casual deaths of a lot of the autobots here! At least Jazz lived. Oh wait, they killed him in the new movie that came out!
Primus1101 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - see when the wall imploded just before the Decepticons entry, did you just reuse the same animation from the actual movie?
asiguido Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - ....yes!
Primus1101 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - uh, ok?

Nov 19, 2008 - That was a great job - that scene still brings back some old, yet painful memories.
asiguido Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - Thank you. I tried my very best to stay as true to the film/toys as I could. I watched this in the theaters back in 1986, and I had my Ironhide and Optimus Prime toys in my hands :-(.
asiguido Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - It was the only scene that didn't have any characters so I just used the original footage. Call me lazy, lol!
asiguido Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - Ya. You have to own it to know. The hip joint comes apart real easy, and the legs are so fragile, you fear breaking it or making it loose. Unlike MP Optimus/Starscream, Megatron does not feel like a durable figure. Also, his cannon is SO huge and heavy that it weighs down his right shoulder. Most of the shots I did of him, I had him lying down.
Primus1101 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - meh, i've seen lazier! heh heh
Primus1101 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - well, guess i shouldn't get him then. i'm not one to go to extreme lengths to preserve something that i keep it in the box. and clever method, keep him laying down lol
asiguido Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - Well its a great figure to have, but at $149 (including the upgrade parts), I can't help but cringe when I pose him around.
Primus1101 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - so, i question it to you, mr. siguido, how are you gonna prime vs megatron?
minkeyi87 Says:
Nov 19, 2008 - i thought this was actually really cool
