Hasblow doesn't give the designers a huge budget for the entire wave so there are sacrifices made like articulation and even entire figures

[@WyattCreel-wc5wf]

I said it before and I'll say it again This is the cleanest transformers stop motion I've ever seen Keep up the good work Mr productions

[@captainF0Rd0]

“I’m actually working on a name, badassatron? It’s actually pronounced, *B A D A S S A T R O N”*

[@LocoMotion99]

Loved the video for sure! You’re very creative in your work-arounds for problems and it’s always a joy to watch your animations at .25 speed to see how it’s done.

[@GunNutproductionsOG]

NGL if I ever try to do something serious with Beast Wars I’ll probably screw around at giving the Beast modes more articulation cause the robot modes look great but their beast forms are beyond stiff in places

[@purplehaze2358]

I remember stop motion being so much easier from when I was a kid dicking around with a camera and some bonkles. Having returned to it.. a few years ago; I now can't help but look at SM animators and think, "that poor bastard".

[@DoesWhatItLikes]

The yoda yelling in the background! Excellent work! XD

[@zolden37]

If you’re not having fun with animation. Your doing animation your just doing a job

[@Thatguyfromsomewhere225]

You forgot to add "not". Between "your" and "doing" Just saying before someone flames you

[@AllThingsFilm1]

@@Thatguyfromsomewhere225 I was just about to "flame" him but then I saw your comment. (kappa). Good call out.

[@UGNAvalon]

Additionally, only the first “you’re” is correct. “You are not doing animation”, not “My not doing animation”. (I’m sorry, I can’t help myself. 😓)

[@dankmotionsstudios5161]

Thats actually amazing!! Your flexible techniques never cease to amaze me. Very inventive and creative methods!!! You put so much work in and I love it! 👍👍👍

[@marcosvazquez5912]

Stop motion can be (is) miserable, honestly have no idea how you do so much of it. AND be really good at it, hats off to you

[@ventris425productions5]

Think of offical transformers as more articulated mega figures that are bigger and can transform instead of as action figures, bc the articulation is lacking in quite a few figures and the main draw is usually how the figure looks in both modes and feels

[@brickman1175]

KZbins algorithm clearly isn't work, this video has a cat featured at 2:23 and therefore should be pulling in the views by the millions! Maybe next time you could slip in a few frames of fluffy kittens falling over each other? It would be so fast most viewers would barely see it but the algorithm super brain would lap that shit up and put it on all 2.5 billion home pages. Just saying, worth a try to get you off the beans on toast living 😂😂

[@noel1069]

This has me inspired to get back into stop-motion

[@loganduncan4315]

So cool seeing your behind the scenes, pretty epic

[@cass_p]

Now I feel silly for going frame by frame to break it all down. I could have just waited for this... but what's the fun in that?

[@SleepySavior]

Charlie you are my favorite person, for just, so many reasons

[@Thatonegreyofficer]

2:01 bro leaked 1 image of part 0 we now know the whole story ( that includes part 3 )

[@FigureStories-wg4qs]

Epic!

[@garbanzobean_artz]

1:04 Guuuuyyyvaaaaa also really good BTS vid

[@mintpalmer]

I know budget is an issue, but I feel that you could really benefit from a 3D printer.

[@CNA_Productions-SM]

Yeah!

[@Vode_An_919]

Love it

[@LS3D_Printing]

Can you do an Optimus prime one, same steps tho as this! I will buy you one cheezit

[@mootroidXproductions]

for a cheezit? potentially

[@Gamera-nb6cr]

Didn't you do something for Robot Chicken? That must of been good money...right?

[@mootroidXproductions]

i did!! i worked on season 11! it paid very well, but i had to live in LA, so the cost of living kind of negated that

[@3l1j4h08]

Optimus next? 🤔

[@emmarose9905]

Do you have upward ankle movement and ab crunches?

[@bionicdan3948]

Very nice

[@PainXIII12]

How did you overlay the reference footage?

[@Action.figures.stopmotion]

Hey how do you do the blast effect

[@StockTurnip]

Please last colony update

[@mootroidXproductions]

maybe

[@marcosvazquez5912]

Try not to ask about the last colony part 3 challenge (impossible)

[@StockTurnip]

@@marcosvazquez5912 lmao

[@StockTurnip]

@@mootroidXproductions sorry for this comment I bet you get it a lot

[@Sockeye1]

Come on dude we got GTA VI before the last colony 3

[@mootroidXproductions]

almost as if there’s hundreds of people working on GTA for a living wage and only one person working on the last colony for pennies

[@BenDureus]

What animation software do u use? I wanna use it too

[@marcosvazquez5912]

He uses stop motion studio, hope this helps 👍

[@BenDureus]

@@marcosvazquez5912 😒 Really I didn’t know jk but I mean what stop motion software

[@Randomtwighlight40]

dragonframe

[@mootroidXproductions]

i use dragonframe!

[@marcosvazquez5912]

Lol yeah I honestly wasn’t sure but I figured it was dragonframe since most animators use that

[@anzullic]

Transformers needs an overhaul. The vehicle form is way too static like "nice you went from a somewhat moveable cool looking robot to brick of a vehicle, cool." The whole transforming part is just layed out way too thin in the toys and the movies.
