In this render Dr. Fujiyama leads his small Sagiten squadron out to battle. I took the Dr. Fujiyama character and concept from the original Transformers TV show and expanded on the elements of human involvement in the Transformers Universe. This scene takes place about 25 years after the Enter The Nightbird original episode, pitting him approx 5 years before the events of the original Transformers Movie.
In the original series, Dr. Fujiyama, “the world’s greatest scientist from Japan” is fully responsible for creating the Nightbird. In my expanded universe, the "Heron of Heaven" or "Sagiten," represent the Elite of human samurai from the United Earth Defense Government.
In the end of the original season 1 series, humans had no inherent way to defend themselves from gargantuan alien robots. However, they did gain an advantage when the humans traded their Super Fuel for Cybertronic Technology. Dr. Fujiyama uses his superior knowledge of robotics and the new hyper-technology to create the Sagiten Apex-Armor designed for humans.
This project took approximately 6.5 months from start to finish. The last month and a half was dedicated to learning Unreal 3 and the scripting language that it entails.
Dr. Fujiyama consists of the following:
Sagiten Armor, Apex-Energon-Bike, 3 Samurai Swords: Souetsu and Kaimetsu Wakizashi Blades and a historical Masamune Katana.
The other two soldiers in the squad are no less important, but unlike Dr. Fujiyama they have different Medate/Wakidate (ornaments on the Kabuto), Haidate (Thigh Armor), and only one Katana each.
