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!

Production Note: This was tricky to do as a triple-changer with primordial modes, because I didn’t want to take (for example) the trailer to primordial and then take the cab to primordial. 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.

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.
