Overwatch 2 x Transformers
Imagine our faces when we were told the next project we'd get to work on would be a Overwatch 2 x Transformers collab!

/ OVERVIEW
We wanted to give some flavour of the original show and pay homage to it in the way we approached the look and feel of the piece. We are beyond proud to have had the chance to make a small contribution to the gargantuan legacy of Transformers, and of course, Overwatch. That said, animating mechs is super frigging hard! It's really a specialised skill, so we’re super proud of the team for rising to the challenge.
