View attachment 28909882 View attachment 28909883 I RUINED the color print of this guy! lol. I rushed and used crappy pigments. The blue wasn't too bad, but the powder pigment that I used for the black parts made them flexible. Then I got a wicked head/chest cold and a covid test, which put me stuck at home with no internet. I did get a chance to make a few adjustments/ improvements, as well as notice that some of the parts that I had uploaded to Cults were not the updated parts. I HAVE UPLOADED A ZIP FILE WITH ALL OF THE UPDATED PARTS TO CULTS FOR ANYONE THAT HAS ALREADY DOWNLOADED THE FILES. I added a tab on the for arm that tabs into the shoulder in alt mode, and added a hole between his fingers for the sword to tab into so he can hold it. I also included a real simple tempest sword for now. The alt mode is the most solidly tabbed thing that I have done so far. I am pretty content with this as it sits for now. The grey parts are the new ones. View attachment 28909893 Quicky Koala style assembly guide. Kind of ran a bit short on time at the end there, but c'mon. Link to an early version of a transformation video. Login • Instagram I have all of the revised parts cleaned up and I am post curing them then assembling. View attachment 28896719 Blue Parts View attachment 28896721 Black-ish parts I still need to print the head because I wanted to do a darker blue. I also have Hardshell re printed up to his body. View attachment 28896727 This printer is so fast that I can't even get any Blender time! Hoping to have Whirl assembled by the weekend! Thanks for looking! Hello all. After a bit af a break, I decided to get beck into blender and Finish the tweaks to Hardshell so I could get him printed in Nylon. Then I had an idea for the leg transformation of Whirl. This is what I came up with. View attachment 28879568 View attachment 28879570 View attachment 28879573 View attachment 28879577 The ankle rotor thingy untabs and slides down to the foot. I think a Skorponok figure did this with the claws. Then it tabs into the bottom of the thigh/knee area. I kept going and this is what it looks like so far.

View attachment 28879813 But I re designed the thigh a bit sleeker, and moved the knee joint down a bit. Also made it two halves rather than the three screws in the back version. It allowed for a screw on the knee that really helps for joint stiffness. View attachment 28879809 View attachment 28879815 Sorry for the focus, I ran home on lunch break and I was short on time. I also had a clearance issue that I solved with a redesign, but I did not want to print the canopy/cockpit again, so there is a hole that will not be there. View attachment 28879820 Anyways, here ya go.

I have since thickened the wings a bit as well. They did not seem that thin in Blender! haha.
Looking awesome, and I am not even an IDW fan. With how much work went into sliding the leg panel down to the foot, I think there's a pretty good chance this does transform.
Nice! Looks just like the comics. The leg transformation does a good job of taking advantage of the exisiting leg design instead of trying to work around it.
