Hasbro RID 2001 Omega Prime Transformation Sequence

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.

Production Note: This took longer than I thought it would. 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.
