tranthemov. 1986 Toei theatrical cel on a painted gouache plate, thick ink contours, hard two-tone shade bands on every form, analog 35mm grain. Feature-film lighting has clear light direction, hard rims, painted atmosphere behind the cels. Optimus Prime on the main stage of a cramped red-velvet strip club, chrome abs oiled, blue-and-red plating stripped down to a tiny silver G-string, both massive hands on a brass pole as he drops into a slow grind, dollar bills stuck to his thighs, a ring of truckers and office workers waving more cash under a haze of pink and amber stage lights.
