Soundwave superior, Autobots inferior!

Hey all, after two months of work I can finally show off my latest build: a giant 3D printed Soundwave transformer, whose boombox mode actually plays cassettes!

If you want to see how I made the whole thing, check out my video linked here:

Howdy! Welcome back to my cell shaded Jazz project, made entirely in Blender!
In this weeks update, we make a ton of progress.
This includes making an in-between transformation model for Jazz, making Blaster's Boombox, AND robot mode, the Ark Diorama my scene is set in, and finally learning new texturing and compositing techniques.
Yep, it's quite a lot, can you tell I've been enjoying this project?

Hey all! I asked in my end of year recap if you wanted #transformers Tuesday to continue, and the verdict was yes!
So finally, it’s back, now rebranded as #Cybertronian Saturday.
These Toy reviews will release every Saturday along with Wednesday’s usual craft video, so neither shall take over the other.
To kick things off we’re taking a look at the latest thing, SS 100 ROTB Bumblebee!
