    Here's my attempt at a micromaster scaled Optimus. This is the 7th version I've come up with. Created mostly in Blender and printed on a creality Ender 5. 20210324_225647.jpg 20210603_201622.jpg 20210324_225806.jpg 20210527_210647.jpg 20210527_210928.jpg 20210603_201603.jpg
    Made a few updates, mainly some tolerances. Got the clips working for the tires, So they're separate, free rolling wheels like I originally wanted. Also seperated the smokestacks, gas tanks, and arm stripes into thier own parts so they can be printed in color. Seems like those parts suffered the worse paint wear. Just a few more things to do...

    Thanks, guys! Trying to find time to make his ion blaster. I really want to make a whole Autobot population for Metroplex and Fort Max. 20210615_185255.jpg

    So freaking cool! Ever since I saw overload as a kid I wanted an Optimus micromaster. You'd think since they could have recolored him, and they made a micro of hotrod... Oh well, yours is way better.

    This is spectacular, I would love to see more mainline characters as micromasters (at least then I'd have a chance at a Micromaster Rodimus)

    Me too! As a kid, I had hoped that at least some of the main bots would be made into micromasters. Instead we got those crappy "legends" figures that were just the inner robot from the Pretenders line.

    Agreed. This makes me want to dig out my half done micromaster Starscream (sunrunner base)
