Figure Note:
Stop-Motion Transformation of Studio Series Devastation Optimus Prime. Flawed but fun! The build quality is good, the articulation is good, the transformation ranges from very cool to a bit disappointing. His sequence was so specific, I decided to shoot it. In another universe they will get a Black Apple upscaled and improved version.

Production Note: Used my favorite vice.

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.
