    Great stuff!

    So is he eventually going to be a Headmaster? Also I’d love to get my hands on a Marvel Prime head as well!

    Excellent work!

    Awesome work bro!...I really need to get on this 3D Printing renaissance that is taking place...Can I place a request for some wrist swivels for Siege Megatron(a little "natural-looking" height wouldn't make me mad either) and a mod to make the Siege Soundwave a cassette (a more believable looking one than the recent pics)
    carry on...

    Status update. I have sent information to 3P and official companies and we will see if they get interested. I am also preparing and organizing files for the few copies that I will make on my own. It is taking a bit longer than expected but Ill try to finish this ASAP. Here you can see some poses that figure can pull off. (He has the dark face variant on this picture)

    As for the joints he is Friction based and holds by 3D printed "pins" (my idea) that you snap in and can punch put if needed. This way it is easy to repair him and exchange parts. If the joint becomes to loose you can just slide in a new pin(i will include some spare ones). There is room for ratchets (I show this on my youtube video in the 3D section) but they are not present currently.

    I really love this figure. Any chance that there will be cannons (that look like the shoulder ones) on the legs that could be attached when in scorpion mode? Also hope to see a cover piece for the back of the legs. It would be most welcome even if they were partformings pieces like potential leg cannons.

    I look forward to hopefully owning one of these someday.

    Make this Fans Toys Terminus Giantcus or DX9 Gabriel size, this should be crowdfunded.

    Wow, that is one clean looking FDM 3D print! You must have your printer dialed in to absolute perfection. D:

    Some final adjustments and upgrades. I designed panels for the back of the legs. Two color wariants (green and Violet) They help to cover the back of the legs and stabilize the scorpion mode. The Scorpion leg mount (in the middle) is also in optinal Violet color. Parts for all versions will come with the first version from the ebay auction (I will installed the preffered set and the alternative parts will be in a baggie)

    Only few Hours left https://www.ebay.com/itm/173820644479

    I respect your desire, but this is a perfect Marvel Comics Scorponok not in any way compromised by a city mode. Upscale it later, sure, cool (I'm convinced we'll get him at Titan class next summer, so I'm not worried).

    *I'm glad to see the auction is going so well. This is a really cool collectible.

    *I maintain my desire for the inclusion (if this becomes a mass produced kit) of the Marvel Comics PMOP head PrintFormers designed. They're perfect together (thematically, not, you know, from a production perspective).
