Hot Rod Transformer

High Poly model for one of the G1 Transformer Characters Hot Rod. Trying to stay closer to the G1 Design and achieve the visual quality of the robots in the Bumblebee movie.

The head, body and all panels modeled from scratch in Maya. Mechanical connections are made with a mixture of parts I modeled and kit bash pieces I downloaded. Small head details done in Zbrush. Robot is textured entirely in Substance Painter. Final render was in Redshift.

Original Concept by Simon Wong:
