    due to the constant delays of the beelzeboss upgrade kit for nightbeat i went ahead and commissioned a custom paint job from unicron9 for a shapeways chestpiece and i think he did an awesome job! Nightbeat looks so much more like himself now and even if the beelzeboss kit does come out i have no need for it anymore, so thanks a bunch unicron9 for the excellent customs you have done for me!

    Edit for more details-
    The shapeways part is glaug's sleuthing robot chest and I printed it in shapeways acrylic material which so far for me has been a great material and probably has the closest texture and feel of production plastic of the materials shapeways offers.

    That's not the extension I was looking at, The one I ordered is all internal so there is no stomach piece, I think that one is jonbonatrons and the one I'm looking at is from glaug

    Ah ok. I like jonbonatron's just cause it gives him a little more height and slightly better proportions.

    He does look good that way, but I think I'm more used to his normal proportions haha

    Did he ever fix the issue with it dragging bottom in car mode? I have one that I was trying to cut down but I eventually gave up.

    YESSSSSSS!

    Any chance of a Shapeways or Thingiverse upload? I've been looking for a kit like this to turn a Nightbeat into a Minerva.

    The chest and neck piece are both already available on shapeways curtesy of glaug, he is the one who designed both pieces, search sleuthing robot on shapeways and both pieces should come up

    That is not the chest piece I got, but it works the same, is from the same designer and is Minerva specific which seems like what you would want.
