Figure Note: Stop-Motion Transformation of Hasbro RID 2001 Omega Prime. Pretty cool for an old feller. Yes, I have NO idea where the gun rack for Ultra Magnus went. RID Optimus Prime is one of my all-time favorite Primes. I have an even more super mode where I put most of Prime’s extra parts on Omega Prime, but I didn’t want to confuse things. RID 2001 was my re-entry into collecting Transformers (since G1 in my childhood). I have the Takara version of Optimus which has a Japanese voice chip and one of the voice lines sounds like “I’m a goldfish!” and that’s been a running joke between me and my wife for over 20 years now.

Glad I have my new tools for floating multiple items simultaneously! Viewing Note: If you want to follow along, I recommend skipping to the speed run and using your , and . keyboard keys to advance by single frames. Every step of the transformation is documented in the frames of the video, in what I consider to be the best sequence. With minimal rubbing and minimal parts-parking.

Figure Note: Stop-Motion Transformation of Takara MV-7 Optimus Primal. Handsome if a bit simple. They got downright lazy with the feet. Support Note: Like what you see?

Hell, I’m not even quite sure what the primordial is yet, so next week.

Purchased from ShowZStore: https://showzstore.com/ Get yours!: https://showzstore.com/magic-square-bruticus-combiner-vortex_p4820.html Figure Note: Stop-Motion Transformation of Magic Square MS-B54 Tornado. Delightfully complicated. This guy came with the head, chest and shoulders of the combiner, so I presume Blastoff will come with the thighs. Shaping up to be a fantastic set. I hope they get around to doing some autobot combiners. Support Note: Like what you see?

Figure Note: Stop-Motion Transformation of Hasbro Legacy:Evolution Armada Optimus Prime. Great representation of the classic figure. Looks like they may have left options for making Jetfire and Overload, too! Support Note: Like what you see?

I wanted to finish each half before moving to the other half. So arranging the pieces was a bit more complicated and time-consuming than I would have preferred. I think it came out mostly sensible, although I generally prefer not to use any transitions. But this made me have to do them.
