Description
This is my transformers version of ''bahamut'' (from the ''final fantasy'' series). It was heavily inspired by ''megatron'' (from the ''transformers'' movie). It's fully rigged and can transform from a tank (vehicle mode) to a mecha (combat mode) and vice versa.It was originally an old model I've reworked on lately, this time it's optimized and re-textured (unwrapped and painted). The final model contains around 140k polys, using 4x2048x2048 texture sheets, and some procedural maps.
The modeling, unwrapping, rigging, posing & animating all done in 3ds Max. Texture creation and post editing in Photoshop.

Softwares: 3ds max 2008, Vray 1.5 (stills), Photoshop CS4 (stills), After Effect CS4 (animation).

Nobody believes in the end of the world
A sadistic melody thunders through the air
Darkness was born, Darkness haunts, and Darkness rules
Fill this world rampant with despair with an insane love
Before time began,
there was the All spark
Like all great power,
someone wanted it for good,
others for evil.
And so began the war.
PRAISE BE TO DECEPTICON
Now is the time to resurrect, a bloody desire called sin
PRAISE BE TO DECEPTICON
Grasp eternal life with those hands
Nobody notices the darkness in hearts
Nobody can hear the screams from the heart
Covered in lies, controlling lies, and lies are allowed
Fill this society filled with hypocrites with rotten dreams
And the All spark was lost to the far reaches to the space
Searching for every star, every world,
Drew us to an unknown planet calledβ¦
PRAISE BE TO DECEPTICON
Now is the time for an instinct writhing of evil set up to awaken
PRAISE BE TO DECEPTICON
Follow destiny and listen to the songs of praise
Before time began,
there was the All spark
Like all great power,
someone wanted it for good,
others for evil.
And so began the war.
PRAISE BE TO DECEPTICON
Now is the time to resurrect, a bloody desire called sin
PRAISE BE TO DECEPTICON
Grasp eternal life with those hands

Why is it that I think he can never hug anyone without giving them nasty cuts?

lol because it wasn't created for hugging i guess

It sort of looks like bigger heavily modified version of Jehuty from Zone of the Enders.
But I love how you did this. Great job it was time well spent.
