This idea got into my head and wouldn't let go, so after a day of designing and printing, here he is: Battlemaster Armada Laserbeak. This is definitely "inspired by" more than any kind of attempt at replicating the canon design, though I did try to keep the very distinctive head design pretty close to the original. Transforms from cyberbird to camera blaster in just a few easy steps! T30 Starscream is the only Armada figure I have handy, so he's modeling the camera mode for us. In retrospect, I do regret not putting a 5mm port in his underside so he could snap on to Minicon ports. Oh well. Edited on 1/16/2023: Files for this are now available for a modest price on Cults! Battlemaster Armada Laserbeak - Transformers
Terrific! Do you sell these or the files? I always wanted a gray one like the prototype/test pictures and being a battle master is the best idea ever! So, is Starscream filming or shooting? Lol
Just a quick update to note that I've put the files for this little guy up for sale on Cults: Battlemaster Armada Laserbeak - Transformers
