    It looks like Hasbro won't be releasing WFC Trypticon any time soon. So I thought to give the g1 version a makeover with larger arms.

    The regular-sized WB Blastoff is 1/150 scale, while Trypticon is > 1/200.
    The 3D printed shoulder attachment & claw can fold up and stored in the foot-well area in vehicle mode.
    Tripticon is my favorite titan. The bot mode favors stability w/ tail and not blind-conformity to humanoid physique. The carrier mode is very sturdy too, with dual unobstructed landing strips.

    I only have 1 WB Blastoff right now. For left arm, I use OS ko Rook for comparison. While it makes a great chunky arm, the scale in vehicle mode is just wrong. It's a building on wheels.

    The models are done in SW2016. Feel free to make your own improvements. Or just get stl files to print.

    That's cool to see actual scale for once!

    Suggestion: Rook is 100% in-scale.
    Because it's not rook.

    Repaint him into a FoC Energon Transporter from Chapter6:

    The in-game model was much darker, and if you swap out some of the beige with just dark gray...no one will question it.

    Thanks for the suggestions. But I already ordered a 2nd blastoff. It just arrived. Here's the finished effect. IMG_20200813_171504868_HDR.jpg
