YouTuber Recreates Original Transformers Opening With Figures And Stop Motion
As a franchise derived from toys, it was only a matter of time before someone recreated the opening to the original Transformer cartoon using Hasbro's figures.
Using stop motion animation, YouTuber The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer flawlessly recreated the intro with what appears to be the original toys – if not reproductions – as well as the classic '80s tune. The animation is "a collaboration project eight months in the making," the description says. Check it out below, as well as the original cartoon intro for comparison.
Perhaps equally cool to the stop-motion intro is Platinum Games' Transformers: Devastation. You can read our review for that game, here.
