The Battle of Autobot City

Ever since the pilot episode, I think this was the large scale battle we've all been waiting for. Too bad they didn't show more robot-on-robot carnage. Why does Optimus Prime always station Omega Supreme in the middle of no where?

This turned out to be a fairly simple project. Maketoys Wrestle can't double-fist his rifle because his chest gets in the way. Fans Toys Tesla is simply bending over at the hips. I don't have a pile of scrap metal to photograph so I made do with a large boulder.

The sky was shot on a cloudy summer evening with a Hoya Orange HMC filter. The explosion was painted on with my custom smoke brush. The ground is an enlargement of a boulder at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, with a hue saturation applied to remove most of the moss colors. I added a graduated field blur to the boulder to simulate some depth of field. I also placed a spotlight in the middle of the shot to give a subtle lighting effect to Tesla's side and the ground. The blaster bolts are just layers with Inner and Outer glow turned on.
