Such Heroic Nonsense

For me, this scene removed any doubt that four of our favorite Autobots would be rejoining the fight later in the movie.

To get the source picture, I had to stitch together a couple of screen captures because it was a pan up from Ironhide to Megatron. There are a few floating around the Internet, but I wanted a higher resolution capture of it.

Ironhide was a simple shot of him kneeling. I drew on the cracks in his back and used one of those dotted brushes to simulate electrical sparks in the hole in his back.

Megatron was a little trickier. X-Transbots Apollyon, as much as I enjoy the figure for all its G1 likeness, is a pain to pose and shoot. His arms are constantly falling off. I really should take the time to apply some floor polish to those shoulder joints. He was shot in a lying position, using Haywire from Unique Toys Buzzing to help prop up his cannon arm. The angles are not exact, but I'm satisfied with it.

Once again, the ceiling is my trusty set of Mechanical Chain Base panels. I applied a Hue/Saturation layer to get the orange color. The darker area was achieved by applying a second Hue/Saturation layer. The lights and Apollyon's cannon glow are an Inner/Outer Glow layer style with the shapes painted on with a brush. I created the blue screen by running a blue square through a Grain Texture filter, then drawing on some lines.
