DX9 D-08 Gewalt Transformation Sequence

Figure Note:
Stop-Motion Transformation of DX9 D-08 Gewalt. This figure was loaned to me by fakter1. See more of this collection: follow @teletraan1ne on Instagram. Excellent version of Blitzwing. A bit odd how the head flops over for tank mode.

Production Note: Longest video yet, I think. Seems like just about any triple-changer can be done this way. I wanted to do the same thing with DX9 Hanzo, but I realized there was a problem with that. You see, with a triple changer if a part is stowed in two modes and deployed in one, then the primordial mode would simply match the majority. So you only ever deploy it once when going to the mode that needs it. But with Hanzo... For example, two modes have the guns on his feet deployed and four modes they are stowed. So you would imagine the primordial mode would be the stowed version. But then when you switch between those two modes you’d end up having the guns stow and then come right back out again. There are even worse issues when you consider there are multiple overlapping items like that (the worst being the entire legs stowing for three modes and unfolding for the other three - which is primordial?) Plus if I show all 30 sequences I could end up with a what - 30 minute video? So the plan now is to simply plow through the six modes in sequence and call it a day: Wolf - Plane - Car - Tank - Gun - Robot. That’ll be a long shoot.

Viewing Note:
If you want to follow along, I recommend skipping to the speed run and using the Chrome plugin called "Frame by Frame for YouTube". It turns your , and . keyboard keys into single-frame movement keys. Every step of the transformation is documented in the frames of the video, in what I consider to be the best sequence. With minimal rubbing and minimal parts-parking.
