    Hi All,

    Awhile back i did a mod for Siege Megatron that extended the abs -

    (Minor/Repaint: - Seige Megatron)

    Got some positive feedback, and a few people asked for a 3D print. I wast really into printing at the time, but i am now! I designed this in Tinker cad, and printed with PLA.

    I have put a design up on Shape ways that is the exact proportions as my old hand crafted design.

    Please note that you will need to remove the original waist peg, as it is too long to work with the replacement part.

    Fresh Prints by Arkmana - Shapeways Shops

    I am also incredibly shocked that the Shape ways name "Fresh Prints" was available!

    Awesome! One question though, after installation will Megatron still have a waist swivel?

    He does. The new piece has the same peg at the base, so it's like for like.

    Of course!

    Tank mode is unaffected, and he is slightly taller than prime.

    I really like this a lot, as it doesn't affect the proportions and looks natural.
    Nicely done!

    Hello, I have a question, specifically how much height does this add to Megs? Shapeways lists the measurements, but that includes the peg, and I'm needing to know the height without the peg included. Thank you.

    I want to paint the part form Shapeways to match Megatron. Can someone tell me what shade of grey paint and/or the brand to use?

    @Arkmana Does this work with the ER torso, and if so, how does it look? (I know it wouldn't transform properly, but I'm considering doing a custom involving using the ER chest/torso with the Siege limbs and back).
