I was never a big fan of The Transformers, but I have to admit that this looks wicked cool.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Optimus red?

This is from a group called 3D Blasphemy and is not footage from the upcoming Michael Bay “Transformers” movie.

Perhaps these guys should be doing the movie then. It actually piqued my interest.

Yeah. This is deliberately mislabelled as a “CGI test”.

In truth, it was the final project for some guy in animation school in - if I remember correctly, but I could be wrong here - Brazil. In fact, whoever uploaded the clip to that site was a jerk ‘cause they deliberately cut the video short; the part displaying the artist’s webpage.

You can go here to find more of the artist’s work and the super high rez version of the clip:

To answer your question, Optimus is red, but if I remember the artist’s write up correctly, he wanted to make the truck look as real as possible, and found photo reference of a truck which looks like the one shown in the clip.

That looks damn good. Why can’t they make movies look like that?

Beware the beast man, for he is the Devil’s pawn. Alone among God’s primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother’s land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home, and yours. Shun him, for he is the harbinger of death.
