Orion Pax (Cogged) / Optimus Prime / Alt modes (Truck)

I don’t often post professional work here, but this one is very special to me.

I grew up watching the original Transformers TV series, and Optimus Prime was my childhood hero. Being part of the ILM DMS Sydney team working on the origin of the story and building the production 3D model of Optimus Prime (and his variations) for the animated feature Transformers One was an absolute blast. Even though this isn’t the most complex model I’ve ever worked on, it’s easily my favourite and the one I enjoyed the most.
