    Inspired by some of the other designs out on Thingiverse, I wanted a backpack for Volcanicus that uses swoop for wings on his back, and move the arms in towards the body like some of the 3rd Party kits available.

    This is designed for the Normal Hasbro Grimlock Torso, not the Oversized KO. However pictured is the OS KO of Swoop, since I prefer the look.

    I recommend that if using this backpack you also print a chest piece, since the Grimlock mold will have large holes in the front once the arms are moved and it just doesn't look great.

    Since the arms are moved inward, the original design by FJSCHULER for the back half of the chest piece won't work, and you'll need the remix version by ALPHAMAGNUS. Any of the front half designs for FJSCHULER original design should work.

    I've uploaded two designs, a basic one with no extra details and one with a few more frills. Also uploaded are files for a solid one piece backpack or split in 2 that you will need to glue.

    Happy Printing, and post a make if you end up printing this, as I would love to see everyone else's results.

    Awesome work there, man! ... Really bulks up the look of the beast nicely. Sorta gives off a Predaking-ish vibe to it as well :)
