I should probably upload this before I forget. For @hellovivirose a uber late secret santa gift for @tformers-secret-santa project. here’s your precious bbys I loved doing this so much.
Im really proud of how this turned out. It looks like a christmas card~
“I guess I might as well just keep you.” Idea how Fracture got his minicons when they were smol and decided to raise them as lil bounty hunters. Happy birthday, @scarecrowcoffee ! Made it extra cheesy, just how you like it.
RID15 gets such a bad rap when compared to TFP, and it’s true that the rendering is less sophisticated and the designs are less elegant (though I suspect there’s a certain element there of Hasbro telling the character designers, “we have to be able to actually MAKE THE TOYS, guys”) … but c’mon. Look at this animation. Look at the color palette and the lighting. Look at the articulation of her armor. I grew up on G1, guys; this is awesome 😀
I agree, the animation style is extremely simplified compared to TFP and I’d complain that many of the Cybertronians portrayed don’t evoke a feel of “yep that’s a robot I’m looking at there,” but the animation itself is full of little details and has a nice flow to it. I also assume that it was done like this not just for budget reasons (to allow for a greater quantity of models), but maybe because more cartoony shows tend to age better than the more realistic animated ones.
How's it hummin'?
