The Transformers: Infinitive

Or: The autism-fueled novice-3D misadventures of a very large 25-year old child, in desperate attempt to unleash the headcanons that have rattled around my head for llterally my whole cognizant life. All artwork is done by me, without AI, using the following programs: Blender, Substance Painter, Keyshot, GIMP, and VideoPad. Sound effects and text are gathered/edited from various online sources.

The series is, loosely, a post-war Earthspark/IDW esque tenous peace. It does lean a bit towards a cyberpunk/retro-future aesthetic too, largely because I am not good at reproducing actual vehicles (and it lets me have fun with altmodes, in a certain way).

    OPTIMUS PRIME, robot mode. Very G1-inspired, though I took a few liberties with having him turn into a long-nosed truck rather than the classic flat-nose. He also doesn't have a mouth, but his face is rigged to show emotions. Finally, while I didn't directly model it off of VA Peter Cullen, he does have a mustache, becuse it fits the Space Dad vibes

    OPTIMUS PRIME, alternate form. I ended up taking a lot of inspiration from Armada for the truck form, but beyond that it's nothing ground-breaking. I will say the G1 packaging license plate *was* going to be a placeholder, but I kinda like how goofily it stands out if you look for it--it's just silly enough, IMO.

    OPTIMUS PRIME, primary weapon. Basically a beefier version of the War for Cybertron Ion Blaster, all things considered

    OPTIMUS PRIME, special weapon. I knew I wanted Prime to have his classic axe weapon, but I also wanted to call back to it being a 'laser' axe, which led to some experimenting with the visuals. Probably works like a lightsaber blade.

    Neat glad you are having fun with it, it works as long as you are enjoying it and satisfied with it. 
    If you wanted to make it to be more readable apart from all the grime and darkness detailing (over on my end anyway) i'd try to study some , Targeted placement for these grime/darks and damage/details.

    Again if you are happy with it, great, thanks for sharing it i like the axe blade idea, i'd keep playing with how to make it look even better if you wanted to.
