==Notes==<br />
* Just in case you have forgotten, Scott Farrar would like to remind you that the ''Generation 1'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] toy only has 51 pieces, while in comparison ILM's CG model of ''Movie'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] has 10,108 pieces. <br />
*Sadly, he did not mention that the toy only has 51 pieces while ILM's model has 10,108 at [http://www.siggraph.org/s2009/computer_animation_festival/sessions/details/?id=131 Siggraph 2009] when he was talking to a good few hundred people at once.<br />
