Transforming Optimus!

That's right. Optimus Prime transforming. It's not, I repeat, not for the upcoming film, but I think you should have a look anyway. It was done by my friend Duncan, started long before the movie was announced.

This is important, because the Optimus Prime in the upcoming film will have a different shape, according to the picture that was leaked a little a week or so ago. The reason, apparently, is so that when he transforms, no parts magically disappear. Fair enough, but Duncan has proven with this animation that it can be done. Check it out: there's no trickery involved. Every part goes somewhere. The only issue is that it's not photoreal, but that's nothing that a few hours with MentalRay can't fix.

Michael Bay, please take note.
