I've been working on a stopmotion spoof of the old Transformers cartoon. Please let me know what you think:

Re: Calling all Transformer fans - My stopmotion project

Pretty good, I know how hard they are as well, I've posted some of my Lego ones on YouTube but they're utter crap
Keep up the good work

That was

I don't know anything about stop motion animation but could see a lot of work went into it, great results. And the voices were pretty good too!

Wow, that takes me back. Great job.

So have you been signed up by Michael Mann for Transformers 2?
