Well... not literally.

See, in issue #119 of the magazine "3D World" there's a tutorial set complete with scene files that basically simulate how they rigged the characters in the Transformers movies.

The character turns into an old style train, so it's ALMOST like a Hearts of Steel Prime done movie style (and given a new head).

Here's a photo of the robot mode (my scanner is dead):



Awesome looking, eh?

So why did it break my heart?

Because said scene files are in Lightwave format, practically the only major format I have no means of converting to my proggy of choice, 3DS Max. >.<
