Hasbro Studio Series AoE Optimus Prime Transformation Sequence

Figure Note: Stop-Motion Transformation of Hasbro Studio Series AoE Optimus Prime. Very nice for a Deluxe. Too bad it’s a Voyager. Back when AoE came out, a figure like this would have been a Deluxe and would have cost about $10, and would have been a bit more complicated. We get shrinkflation in the complexity and paint apps, and price inflation to boot. This was $42. When RotF came out, $40 got you a wonderfully clever and complex Leader figure. Money printer go BRRRRR. Support Note: Like what you see?

Truck to Robot: 0:09 Robot to Truck: 0:44 Speed run to Robot: 1:18 Speed run to Truck: 1:31 2x Run: 1:44 End credits: 1:58 Production Note: 464 photos. 1.5 hour shoot. No animation because the neck is quite stiff and the waist is really a transformation joint so it breaks the sculpt to turn it any meaningful amount. 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. Music: The music is by Ethan Meixsell - www.ethanmeixsell.com Songs: “Vindicated” and “Run”. Vindicated reminds me of Megadeth.
