Figure Note:
Stop-Motion Transformation of Hasbro Alternators Hot Rod. This was an SDCC exclusive. The original Alternators GT40 was blue and was Mirage. I picked this one to show because it has more paint applications. Like most BT/Alternators the articulation is a bit limited and the transformation is fairly simple. This design might be my second favorite BT/Alternator. Kind of neat how they managed to maintain a steering linkage for car mode.

Car to Robot: 0:09
Robot to Car: 0:49
Speed run to Robot: 1:29
Speed run to Car: 1:44
2x Run: 1:58
End credits: 2:12
Production Note: Nothing to report.
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.
