Thanks for all the replies, parenting definitely seems like the way, it's what I was thinking also but figured I could use extra brains to figure it out. Chirone, I haven't opened Maya much since before summer time so I'm pretty rusty going back into it right now. After taking that much time away from the USB drive I am now trying to figure out a way to make better legs, and possibly arms... just a better overall transformation. My idea for it is still the same putting it in a live video and having it transform on my desk get up and run away. Time to rethink my method of this project a bit more. I like the arms I have made for it but the legs... man the legs are weak and pretty lame looking. Both the arms and legs need a better way of breaking out of the body though instead of compartments opening and them sliding out.
