I'm not quite sure where to post 3rd party vids, but this deserves it's own thread anyway.

I'm saving long term to go the World Cup in Brazil in 2014 and in a moment of weakness yesterday almost shelled out $600 for the entire Hercules set.

This video has not helped me at all!

I concur, tis a very sweet vid!

[Trent]

That is great!

That was greamazitastic! So good I had to make up a new word.

Yeah awesome vid, and the best advertising for the toys I've seen.

While I stand by my decision to get Giant over Hercules, it's clear the Hercules bots vehicle modes are more fun to play with.

That was awesome animation

[UltraMarginal]

Wow, that is a great stop motion video.

I can see where people get the Bay styling from the way the robots develop out of the vehicle mode.

I get a mix of G1 and Fall of Cybertron feeling when Devastator is combining, especially the arms attaching.

I really liked the touch when the lower torso finishes transforming after attaching to the legs. very nice touch.

um...WOW!!

There is a bit of Bay, styling in the transformations. mostly because they don't completely disregard gravity, Say what you will about ROTF's contribution to the Transformers universe, but the really did add a sense of scale and weight to Devestator's transformation, I really enjoyed many of the transformations in the Bay films to be honest.

In the cartoon combiners have always been the worst offenders of the laws of physics, typically fused together by arcing energy in their own mysterious Voltronesque stasis field. Even in the animated movie when Devestator combines Hook defies the law of gravity and floats into place suspended by magical elf wire.
