    ----------------------------

    Version 2 changes

    -Interlocking
    -You can go into the legs, in each leg there is a teleporter that takes you up to the shoulders.
    -Version 1 was a canvas, it now has all of the objects from the original Avalanche. So it's completely playable.

    ----------------------------

    In the depths of this snowy gorge, a small little child once had dreams of a friendly robot. This dream is now a reality although not as it was originally foreseen.

    ----------------------------

    The Transformer Project is an aesthetic map that allows you to play on the regular Avalanche, but with a big transformer in the way.
    It’s set up for all game types.

    ----------------------------

    Once the transformer was made I placed every single item that was on the original Avalanche. To make things more fun I switched the sides, so instead of the defenders spawning on the left base they spawn on the right. The reason why I did this is to make it seem as if the transformer is attacking you. You only get this effect when it’s an asymmetric game type.

    I will warn you now, the transformer looks really good from furthur away, but when you get close it can look tacky.

    ----------------------------

    The name

    It’s original name was the transforminator. I found it really annoying how long it was so Undisputed Hawk and I altered it to the Transformer Project. (Actually that is pretty long too).

    ----------------------------

    Game play

    I recommend playing in parties with a minimum of eight and a max of sixteen.

    ----------------------------

    Game types

    Team Slayer – BR start
    One Flag – BR start
    One Bomb – BR start

    ----------------------------

    Cool, you did decide to post it tonight.


    Thanks for adding my contribution, no matter how minute it was.
    The final picture is quite epic, and its also quite impressive that the picture has 282718 downloads. Good work there.

    What impresses me about this (firstly made by a friend) but that it doesnt involve much interlocking and yet its such a beautiful aesthetic structure. It looks so menacing and impressively made.


    As chips said earlier, it looks like the face is charging the lazoooor!


    Nice job guys, the fact that you made it playable is just awesome.
    Its just like normal Avalanche but with an enormous robot attacking your screen.


    I do apologize for not writing several hundred words for this but there isnt much else to say other than how good it looks.

    It certainly looks a bit cleaner than the previous version and now that you can go into and on it is a great improvement. It will certainly provide some...interesting gameplay up there!

    Still can't get to grips with how well those action shots are done. The last one is going on my file share :) On the whole, good job with it.

    **** dude, this deserves a feature! It's amazing, I've seen wolves on this map and transformers all over standoff but this...IS JAW DROPPING! I literally lost my breath because it's massive, detailed, and, you know, transformy! The tail idea was pretty cool! So to sum it up you got a 5/5!

    this is probably one of the best robots I have seen on this map. And I have to admit; I've seen a lot of robot maps on avalanche so that's saying something. The picture at the bottom is simply epic in every way. Finally,what set's this apart is the pose it's in.

    Oh man, I can't tell you how great this looks. You have created not only an amazing structure but it looks like he is doing something and moving too. WWhen I say this I mean the aesthletics are alive

    This is vwery cool and with a few Banchees and hornetsw you could take some amazing structures too! I can't emagine not giving this a 5/5

    This is the coolest aestletic map I have seen in a while!

    well well well what do we got here, I'll tell you what... an amazing Megatron that's what. I don't even need to read it to tell it is him, and if it wasn't supposed to be him then well you have a small problem lol

    There aren't too many differences between this and the last one but earlier I was helping JAY alter it. Just adding more boxes, interlocking them, to make it a bit smoother and look a bit better. A large amount of credit on Number 2 goes to JAY for setting it up for each gametype, it was originally on a canvas, now its completely playable.

    In fact there is a Spartan laser on the back of the neck. With the action shots, I didn’t take them but one second one has 284155 downloads.


    It’s not a specific bot, it’s just one that resembles the transformers in general.


    Jaw dropping you say, thanks for the detailed comment.

    That was our main idea, we didn’t want the bot to be standing still, it just looks dull. So what we did is kind of made it look like he is swinging his arms. I call him “clamps”.


    Thanks for that last minute motivation. I thank you again.

    Since I was a fan of Transformers ever since I was a little cake and now a fan of Halo, you can expect that I say that this is one of my favorite Aesthetic maps ever. But which Transformer is it and what does it transform into (and of course I don't mean the robot transforms in-game, maybe make another map of what it transforms into)? Just curious, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to/fell like it ;)

    Cool. I have only seen one picture of V1. Not a big noticeable update. But still 4/5 and it actually could be playable =)

    It's not any particular transformer. It's just one that resembles them.

    Spam much? Please be more detailed, or don't post at all.

    The updates since version one are interlocked arms and legs. It's now playable. You can go inside the leg and inside the leg there is a teleporter that takes you to the shoulders.

    This may sound very time consuming or very painstaking but have you considered making it so all of the boxes are the same colour? If you were to do so then it would truely be amazing, moreso than it is now.

    I remember seeing the first one of these, and even that was pretty good. I'll have to take a look at this one too.
    I really like the way the transformer seems asthough it's been captured in the middle of moving. It shows a great understanding of aesthetic creations.

    It did take us quite awhile to get it right. I think it took us four tries to get the transformer on angle as if he is walking towards the base. I do admit, it's not perfect and I am thinking about making a new one that has the same characteristics but he has taken one more step. So as if he is moving between maps.
