Trapped on the burnt out planet Chaar, an isolated autobot regiment faces a relentless siege upon both their forces, and from within themselves.

I like how except kup, everyone is a modulator or a weaponizer, showing how in war even lives become nothing more than just tools for violence and conquest, and how disposible a soldier's life is. In battle everyone loses their 'humanity' and becomes nothing else but a weapon for destruction.

[@BigManproductions-]

Bro I love how this makes the cybertronian war an actual war with long hard battles. It just makes it far more realistic and brutal

[@KeejTV]

Thank you for pushing the limits with what you can do with Stopmotion and 2D, and showing the scene how far you can take the idea of a toy robot cartoon. Keep challenging yourself and never stop pursuing that creative high

[@BLKCRWN]

Definitely the most anticipated video of this year in my opinion 🔥🔥🔥

[@zolden37]

Agreed

[@t-rex1019]

Deserved

[@Innistrads_Voice]

I stumbled across this on my recommended feed. I was going to scroll past but somehow had the feeling I needed to watch. This was beautiful. The paint jobs, damage/wear sculpting, the lighting- all of it to add depth to this little short story. Never have I found that old Kup head sculpt to be so haunting. Cybertronian conflict can be just as dark as those humans face and the grittiness is not something we see often. Keep up the great work

[@levimus2468]

I SEVERELY underestimated how well animated this was. I watched it cuz it seemed interesting, though I was expecting a rookie stop motion. I'm VERY glad I was wrong, and MY GOD IS THIS ANIMATION SMOOTH.

[@stinkysteve1127]

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[@Alien808OCF]

so epic, just gooned

[@DredgeX97]

Man, I can't wait to wake up to this!

[@Piggywood-Stuidios]

The stop motion here flows so well I legitimately thought it was a 3d animation. Excellent work.

[@bingbong_luver]

That "memory" with the soft glow was all in his head right? He was actually talking to himself? That's how I interpreted it cuz otherwise the gun being planted in the ground in the same spot makes no sense. This animation definitely made my standards much higher for youtube animation. I am insanely inspired by this severely underrated short film.

[@therandomtransformersanima6236]

This was amazing, like the transformers equivalent of “all quiet on the western front” and the animation was fantastic

[@zolden37]

This is gonna be the longest seventeen hours of my LIFE!!! Cause I can't wait!!!

[@windsweeper8002]

Excellent!! What I Iike is how this could fit seamlessly into the continuity of the G1 Marvel UK comics centuries ago as a prequel to Kup's Story.

[@leonidbaishev2221]

Another masterpiece

[@ZeonicZaku1-Zeon_Grunt_Suit]

My goodness... I haven't seen such a high quality TF stopmotion in a long time! Earned my sub, that's for sure.

[@shockwave1539]

This year just started and what a way to start

[@PaperPlaneTF]

More like TopHat&PEAK

[@KT_SEEN2]

This is the best stop motion ive seen in a while

[@Rhron]

Terrifying and beautiful at the same time. This was impressive.

[@sporkwarrior9950]

This is legitimately the best Transformer stop motion I've seen all year. The set design, the staging, the cinematography is amazing. I love the way you used silhouettes. To me, it symbolizes how people's memories get fuzzy and they don't remember all the details. Alternatively, it can also represent how people lose their humanity on the field of battle. But whatever your intent, it was a great choice. I also really like how you used color and lighting. It adds to the grim, intense reality of war. I'm disappointed that more people haven't seen this. This is art.

[@happytuberkj1298]

If some big company in the movie industry were to make a StopMotion movie of Transformers this would be it, this is insanely good, INCREDIBLE!

[@lancertreepuffer]

So smooth when the move, very high quality 👏

[@daniellang4190]

This is amazing

[@sonofdragon5530]

Man I wish I had that stop motion style

[@IsiahTomas]

Oh, shoot. The kooky, creative kids in the house are trying this gig now. Hold on to your hats, everyone.

[@daybreak9641]

This is one of the most artistically superb TF stop motions I have ever seen, if not THE most! This was not only very cool, but also very bleak. An excellent take!

[@Gaming_Helm]

Ultra Marcus collaboration, no way!!! That’s freaking awesome 😎 I watch all his stuff too 👍

[@JoshuaPrime]

This is Ridiculously Good and Underrated bro, love the contrast and dark tones, you should be making real movies with that kind of skill...

[@user-hg5wd9zj6w]

Great story!

[@user-xo2rx8zp4r]

[@360verse]

Great job, the cinematography and visuals were very impressive throughout, really enjoyed the other mediums you tackled such as plasticine/clay motion added in. I always knew you had potential, lad.

[@MrYeet270]

[@SeerCouncilPictures]

Great stuff! May I ask where you got the sound effects for the robot movements from? It sounds like TF FoC but I would love to know for my series

[@transformerscollectionsand6642]

That was brutal and amazing at the same time. I want to see more

[@marcellousmanuel8227]
