    Decided to rename this project RoGunners.

    Currently RoGunners are my take on 3d printed G1 style Targetmaster companions. I think everyone should have one. My figures currently are G1 size, have separate legs, moving arms, and 3mm holes in the fists and feet.

    Bonus pun, the 60% downsize version of RoGunners with 3mm handles are now called MicRoGunners!

    Here is a comparison:

    MicRoGunners are idea for Action Masters. RoGunners are about G1 Targetmaster size.

    While Rom was inspired by designs like Mastershooters, I had previously done one inspired by G1 Double Targetmasters. The robot is supposed to look like Micronauts Biotron, while gun mode is supposed to be a rubber tip missile launcher from Micronauts.

    Nice looking bot there.

    How's his balance with the gunbarrel on his back there?

    He is back heavy and needs to put his arms forward and lean slightly forward just to stand. I will be making several small adjustments with the next revision: Lighter barrel, more heels, stronger joints, better toy accurate legs, a tiny hand held neutralizer for him to hold in robot mode, etc.

    Still, not too bad for as limited as shapeways materials are. Lots of detail and articulation on this little guy. Got him favourited for my next order. :)

    Trying to adapt that ball jointed Rom which ended up too floppy into a G1 style Targetmaster.

    Tried making a mold inspired by Rewind and Eject.

    I am calling it Receiver. Has a nice dual radio/gun tie-in. The recolor potential is massive.

    Those Triple Takeover references are funny. Blitzwing could use some more “zone defense”

    Thanks. It's actually my designs for Nightstick and Fracas with the legs swapped and faces painted different. If you swap them back you make Nightstick and Fracas.

    Something pretty obscure for the Microshooter collection - Shattered Glass Nightstick and Holepunch. These are based on the Fun Publications stories where they were played by repurposed X-Dimension Microns (Prowl and Twist). So I made G1-Targetmaster-ized versions of those Microns. Pair them with BotCon Ricochet and Transformers movie Grindcore!

    Order both black and orange kits to make both figures!
