Russell revealed on Google+ that the cake had a 3D-printed skeleton. He said a motor wound in steel fishing wire attached to the "skeleton" to pull the Transformer into a standing position.

Another motor was used to lift Optimus Prime's head and arms into place.

He said it had taken him a couple of months modifying the mechanics to make sure it worked properly.
