Transformer Swordsman

My 10th upload but this time, it's a hero. A swordsman that transform into a vehicle that moves on high speed. It can also attack and has an additional attachment for it if you want to make it look like attacking while moving.

Model Reference=Footman
Geoset Added Reference=Steam Tank
Model Idea Based=Mobile Legemds Hero (Johnson)

Update v1.1:

Changed some things including:
-Resized to 1.6x including the gunfire effects(making it more on heroic size rather than troop sized one)
-Added attachments to alternate form
-Fixed viewer issue
-Reanimated and adjusted time sequencs for morphing
-Optimized walk animation


Thanks for looking forward to my uploads!!

Update v1.2:
-Removed unused textures and stuff :3

Model works in-game and performs adequate. Good job. Very creative.
well hive viewer is borked..

i like this fellow, but perhaps he's a bit of a particle spam, especially when he's driving, aka alternate walk. perhaps you should have a driving anim that doesn't have the boost effects, as default alternate walk

also, have a look and see if you can slow down the morph anims for a second or so.. matrix eater can help ya there

(finally working in viewer)

Now this is kickin'! You didn't just do the bare minimum with this guy; you took that extra step. Love it! The Alternate Walk Fast (RAMMMING SPEEEEED) is sick with sick SFX; the Morph & Morph Alternate (especially Morph Alternate) are very cool; the Defend form is a welcome addition.

I have no use for it but it's great. : )

you're not working on it anymore? is it just thorar? i just got back into it and im seeing this v4.00 beta14 stuff where the map has been extended. is this a legit version? lol i got it off some other website
Yeah, that's the most recent version. Thorlar hasn't touched it for years, it was all me since February 2020. I haven't stopped MMRPG for good, I'm just working on FFO RPG for a bit instead. Maybe speak to me on discord, so we don't spam on a model in here.
 
Question for Shardeth. What happens if someone were to make a unit based on this model, the unit morphs, and the unit ends up running out of hit points? Does the model play the standard death animation? Personally, I don't think it should especially considering that other morphing models like the night elf druids, Medivh, and all Demon Hunters (Illidan being a Prime and Absolutely included example) their alternate forms all have their own unique death animations. Personally, I wouldn't use this model until there is an alternate death animation added in, but I do believe this is a wonderful model.
