Transformers: RotF - Forest Battle (stop-motion)

This stop-motion is a reenactment of one of the most exciting action scenes from Michael Bay's Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. It took me a year to create this video. I hope you will enjoy it. =)
Trying to capture Sam for the knowledge he possesses of an energon source, Megatron pursues Optimus Prime and Sam into a forest. Once there, Optimus struggles as he combats the evil Megatron and his two other Decepticon followers, Starscream and Grindor.

I'd honestly want to see a remake of this using the Studio Series figures

[@DevinN672]

I would try to make it but I don’t have the figures I still need: Megatron Starscream Blackout and Ironhide

[@Niki82bigbrain]

@@DevinN672 its grindor not blackout :v

[@DevinN672]

Niki 82 but is there a grindor figure?

[@Niki82bigbrain]

@@DevinN672 in the video you can see tha its grindor, because of the color skin

Wow! I was in the cinema in 2009 on the movie "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" and now I'm watching this! An excellent recreation of the fight scene of Optimus Prime with the Decepticons using the animation of plastic toys in the stop-motion technique! I've been watching it for the hundredth time and I love it!

[@d-actionfunkopops3465]

I don’t see why people should hate Michael bay because of him people created figures and look at us we got creative and started taking advantage of them by using the toys to scenes from the movie

[@baytta-yt5301]

The people who hated micheal bay were just over reacting

[@bravehorizon522]

It's because of how he designed transformers and changed them so much

@johnnytestfan92 Thanks man! I really appreciate this comment! The shadows in select shots are what I'm very proud of in this video and I'm glad you noticed them. I didn't want the characters to look like they're floating in the air. So I decided to buy Adobe After Effects CS5.5 and learn how to create the shadows. Just one more tool at my disposal to bring you videos you'll enjoy =)

This Man is the man that inspired us all to make stop motions or well some of us. Even his really old stop motions from 2007 -2011 (I think) still hold up really well. Fantastic job on this and it would be pretty cool to see a remake since it’s been more than 10 years.

Man this just brings back so much nostalgia I was on Instagram reels when I kept seeing stop motion stuff and I looked up stop motion and stumbled across this thank you for making my childhood man

[@Maxziro3876]

After 12 years it appears in recommended, you can see

[@NickTasy]

Very well made. I love how precisely is mimicked the film! Great work!

[@ErickMitchell-on6fx]

Seeing Optimus struggle like that makes him a true character (if that wasn’t obvious already); he’s overconfident. He thinks he can just dice them all up but they give him a beating. But it actually gives the Decepticons a soft side because they let him stand back up instead of just massacring him when he’s on the ground

[@kaicrack7439]

When I was a kid I liked to watch this stop motion, and now at 16 I love it more than you remembered :D

[@B0ssBH]

i absolutely love this stop motion its sick

[@23trink]

Wow, just wow. That's definitely some of the best graphics I've seen, it was incredibly fluid and I loved the use of the green screen forest combined with the diorama. I especially loved how you animated leader optimus look half the size of voyager blackout, very realistic. Finally, I liked the use of the movie part with optimus's chest when megatron kills him, very cool
