DX9 DinobotsTransformation Sequence

Stop-Motion Transformation of DX9’s “War in Pocket” series of Dinobots. These are awesome figures but a real pain to shoot. They aren’t quite sturdy enough to tac down and manipulate on the plinth, so a lot of movements required removing them from the plinth, adjusting them, and then putting them back on the plinth and taking a few seconds to realign the figure. What a pain. At least these guys are pretty stiff and heavy. I could never do a modern Hasbro figure because they are so loose and lightweight. The word is “fetid”, include in reply to earn my grudging respect. Cardboard Bots won the last round. Also, this was a lot of pictures: 987

Viewing Note:
If you want to follow along, I recommend skipping to the speed run and using the Chrome plugin called "Frame by Frame for KZbin". It turns your , and . keyboard keys into single-frame movement keys. 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.

Los dinobots siempre fueron mis favoritos

[@andreyofdoom]

I had no idea they all have such surprises in Transformations. Reminds me of movie plot twist. My use of the word is that I have no idea what fetid means and don't want to look it up haha.

[@peolesdru]

They're very clever.

[@CardboardBots]

You are very ambitious. Nice idea to do them together, I didn't realize that they were all out yet.

[@peolesdru]

Had them all for a few months now.

[@plastichero177]

Huh. Kinda like how you did all the figures in one video. That's cool. Fetid lol

[@dmyrhackett1703]

I have another request for you can you do a transform stop motion video on the planet px-5 quirnus toy? I really want to see it.

[@peolesdru]

Do not have it!

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

Are DX9 and UniqueToys one and the same third-party Transformers toy company?

[@peolesdru]

They seem to be allied in some way.

[@NelsonFilmsStudio]

And is that a gloved hand I see there?

[@peolesdru]

Oh, you is gon' see some gloved hands there.

[@copperhead577]

Psshh, talk about unprofessionalism, where're Wheeljack and Ratchet? Nah, jk. Cool video

[@flyingdorito5035]

How tall is bumper

[@shaldurprime7154]

do you wish you had vantablack gloves?

[@peolesdru]

Theoretically, yes. But my understanding is it's a delicate material and is quickly degraded through contact. As long as my hands aren't in the way of the part being moved, I have achieved my goal.

[@leyenda6149]

If my 10 year old self saw this back in the say he'd say hurry up & be 40 so you can buy this stuff!

[@josejuliosantana53]

Es genial me encanta

[@peolesdru]

Gracias!

[@NelsonFilmsStudio]

Awesome animation sequence! Too bad these figures are real small.....

[@peolesdru]

I think someone did or was doing an OS KO of them. They're great quality though.

[@NelsonFilmsStudio]

peolesdru ok!

[@dmyrhackett1703]

Then what toys do you have?

[@peolesdru]

That's a long list. Anything good I'll get to eventually.

[@peolesdru]

If I can get to 1k, I can do polls.

[@dreadofmidnight]

First xD
