it appears that i have been hacked by evil asf robots (below is my genuine true and honest reacion)
anyways check out some cool trivia for my transformers collab submission
- ratchet's face was always supposed to be flattened in reference to how his head was in the g1 toy, also in the scene where he talks to optimus there was supposed to be another dialog box where ratchet's face gets un-smushed halfway through the talk-sprite but I scrapped it due to being lazy/time constraints
- crockett gave me the ideas and toys to reference off of for some of the designs
- some of the characters and aspects that appear were last minute decisions as i went along
examples being, prime's head, brawl, bumblebee's coloring, the extra decepticons in the nemesis flashback, cancer, & ratchet's full body and un-smushed face
- brawl is the only one that doesn't fully appear onscreen
- the band for band scene was gonna be way longer but it got scrapped because it dragged way too long
- while animating i've doodle what the other bayformer bots would look like in the style because i was thinking of parodying the other movies, those probably won't happen because that would be my ninja dragging the low taper fade moment
- this is the first flash animation to ever crash multiple fucking times in my entire life, and not even publish the swf so i had to separate the scenes in order to export the final thing
- i had the idea of the bots bidding for the glasses since last september after watching the first movie, the script was made in march 30th and done on may 5th, and the animation started on april 28th and finished on the initial animation deadline july 2nd. in addition the commercial break short was made on july 9th and because of other work, got finished on the 16th
- Jazz and ratchet are the only ones who don't have their voices based off the original movie, instead being sage's normal voice and a mediocre impression of tfa ratchet. Also starscream and megatron was supposed to have their g1 voices but I think crockett missed that part when doing the script
- ironhide's battle with the decepticons was gonna have a side-scrolling beat em up scene where he battles brawl before confronting starscream, but it ended up getting scrapped due to it possibly making the animation over the 2-3 minute mark
- i was originally gonna recycle my music for the ending but it wouldn't make sense to not use Linkin park. here's a mockup of how it would sound
