Optimus Prime gets badass.

The hood of that truck opened up like a mouth.
RAAAAWR! I'm gonna eat ya!


It is Optimus Prime!

*fear *timeshift

...room also transforms into Optimus Prime at the first sign of danger!

It's funny how they mention the Russian firsts (i.e. unmanned/manned vehicles in space) with sinister Soviet backing music... But then the US first to the moon, also spurred by a sense of military competitiveness, is all fanfare. What they did is impressive too!

Btw, Optimus Prime was the BEST choice for narrator.

The Michael Bay film score music was a bit ott though. I has half expecting Optimus Prime to come out and take a shot.

I am able to look at the standing humanoid robot and see Optimus Prime, and not Michael Bay's catastrophe. I'm really sorry for the rest of you guys

I could listen to this guy read the phone book. What a voice!


Peter Cullen definitely has one of the coolest voices ever (at 5:00).

Before things get out of hand, I feel that I should chime in with my 2 bits. I have poly modeled a few cars around the 30-40k poly range and can tell you that using that many polies isn't a huge accomplishment. That said, the poly structure is laid out pretty well. Modeling using quads (as was done with this model) makes for a neater looking mesh, but can create headaches when it comes time to render.

In reference to charliem's comment, I'm not sure if there was sarcasm in that post, but I'm going to treat it as though there was not. According to this article, Optimus Prime from the Transformers movie weighed in around 1.8 million polygons.

Memorare is correct though, shaders can hide the poly count of a well-built model. But if the underlying structure is crap, you can shade and mesh-smooth till you're blue in the face and it will still look like crap, just shinier.

Animation and texturing a model are not necessary to show off a modelers skills.
Also, pretty sure optimus prime in the latest transformers movie was at LEAST this high a poly count. 3d rendering isn't exclusively the domain of games.
