The foresight required to anticipate requirements for both configurations and the states in between is mind-bending. Great job! Will the project involve other transforming vehicles this complex?

Thanks, imagining the primary movements and the before/after result was actually pretty straight forward- getting all the pieces to align properly was the hard part.
As far as I know there won't be too many other fully transforming units- there should be another transforming HQ for the second faction and maybe a few other special units that have to deploy to fire. It would be great if there were more though.
New construction options!
Unable to comply, building in progress
In my head I heard this in CABAL's voice.
In my head I heard this in EVA's voice.
Metroplex heeds the call of the last Prime…
REALLY cool work. Looks great!
Thanks! It took a lot of TLC to get right but it was worth it.
That's the Mammoth
Elephant
Terrans..
The only RTS I’ve played is halo wars so I’m getting elephant vibes, looks sweet! Can it change back or does it become permanent once deployed?
Thanks, I’m the art guy so I’ve no idea whether it’s repackable in-game, I went ahead and watched it in reverse and it seems like it could change back easy enough if it’s able to relocate.
I’ll just be in my corner, dreaming about a good Transformers game…
But seriously, great work!
Hmm. . . Transformers RTS game tho.
Didn't like War for Cybertron?
On the contrary, I liked it. Fall of Cybertron in particular is great.
The issue is that they’re delisted from storefronts and the servers are gone, along with all of the other licensed Transformers games. Not to mention, there hasn’t been a decent release in at least six years… or 9 years, if we’re using FoC as the benchmark. (Which I do, haha.)
will there be light cycles!? very nice work
As far as I know they'll be lots of tanks and robots, that would be an awesome homage though
yeah that would be dope. maybe something similar, but not exactly the same? The concept of a vehicle leaving a destructive tail of light is a cool mechanic
"scouts"
Guess I'll know what I'd be building in space engineers next
Send pics if you actually pull it off đź‘Ť
please make this a real game, because that's awesome!
It’s early in the works but it’s for an actual RTS title (I’m a bit vague on the details since I’m just the art guy)
well, keep up the great work then! I look forward to seeing more about this in the future.
New construction options.
that's impressive and cool.
also, a brilliant choice on visual design. you get sci-fi nostalgia and save time and effort on texture work... win-win!
Thanks, lol yup it definitely helps and the aesthetic is more fun to make as well. It’s still kind of tough in its own way because you have to do a ton of pixel sniping to keep the lines clean.
absolutely, readability can be an issue to look out for. great job though.
Looks like something my Joes would be smashing Cobra in
I want to play this game so badly
I present to you, the MCV!
I can hear the red alert construction sounds looking at this.
MI CO RO MAAAANNN!!!
“Building… Building… Building…”
I FUCKING LOVE EVERY PIXEL OF THIS
Awesome, the unfolding is very Command and Conquer, but looks wise it reminds me a bit of the UEF Land Factory from Supreme Commander
Where can I see more of this? How do people design these things!? Blows me away.
Thanks, just a lot of experience making complicated models for fun. It's the first time making something unfold so I don't have many other examples unfortunately- there's more stuff on my Instagram though.
NEW CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS
That transformation was sick!
Is there a page / discord / etc to follow dev progress?
Thanks, it's pretty early in the works and I'm kind of vague on the details. I'm posting the art for it on my Instagram but I can't say for sure when it'll have actual updates from the dev.
The elephant but better
Halo Wars but in the Tron universe? Take all my money.
Tron flavoured??? Transforms?????? #SIGN ME UP
Found my new Space Engineers challenge.
Instantly made me think of Starcraft Terrans. I love it.
I absolutely love this!
Why make it TRON flavored?
Not sure, I'm guessing since the lore of the game will be very similar to Tron and/or set in the same universe.
Why does it remind of transformers?

Serious command & conquer vibes. Looks awesome.
Thanks, C&C was the primary inspiration for the idea- the biggest difference is the conservation of mass so it seems more plausible.
That's a lot of stuff telescoping out of the front part of the vehicle tho
That’s true, it’s still highly improbable. There’s lots of things you can fit with some “Russian nesting doll” packing though
Rule number one about camping packing is stuff never fits back into the original box.
C&C and Supreme Commander too!
Holy shit yeah.
Totally, here's specifically what it reminds me of:
Supreme Commander Fatboy - UEF Mobile Factory
Supreme Commander UEF Land Base
There’s probably a lot of influence from that going on, it’s one of my favorite games 👍
I love it. I've always enjoyed "Too Big" structures. It stems all the way back to playing Total Annihilation and Sim City 2000 back in the 90s
The Sc2k Arcologies will always have a special place in my heart
I was thinking the same thing
