Kids who grew up with the Transformers cartoon, toys and animated feature in the 1980s have been unimpressed by all later offerings, especially the over-the-top Michael Bay movies.
So what is a Transformers first gen fan supposed to do if they want to see the Autobots and Decepticons make the leap into live action without becoming unrecognizable?
This "costuming" fan film by Lior Molcho and Danit Sigler of Chisel Pixel should satisfy the craving until Hollywood decides to go with a retro look for the reboot of the reboot.
And for my fellow practical effects fans here's a behind the scenes look at the making of Generation 1 - Hero.

I could never stand to watch the original cartoon, on account of the artwork being so poor.
