This is it. You'll have to assemble all the little pieces in order to animate it.

As a progress update, most textures are compressed using ETC1, which can't natively handle alpha (transparencies). As a result, the transparency is hacked in and there's no standard way of doing this. I have to figure out how PopCap did it here. Some textures (like the seed packets I posted yesterday) are uncompressed and don't have this problem.

Worst case scenario, I won't be able to figure out how to make the transparencies work and you'll get images like the one above upon extraction. Which isn't a big deal... But some textures get really messed up:

So right now my top priority is to get the transparencies to work. Do more!!! I want to see what I can do with the Basic Zombie in PvZ2!!!
