Retro Thoughts and Ramblings

Found 4/5s of the Protectobots at a local store.  It had was missing some of the combiner accessories.  Here’s my version of the chest armor.  It will need to be mirrored and printed to get both the left and right sides. Update :  Finished the hip armor so it’s now included as well! Download Models

 I was able to procure an Earthrise Starscream cheap because it was missing its weapons and someone had done some “custom” painting on it.  I cleaned of the paint (mostly), and reworked the classics seeker null rays that can be found on Thingiverse to fit the Earthrise mold. Download Model  

 Already having the G1 and yellow G2 Constructicons, I saw someone that had a KO set of the orange ones minus the combiner parts for a good price.  I purchased these because I had already seen that I could download and 3D Print most all of the combiner parts (minus the gun.)  Here’s the result: And here he is next to my other Devastators: You can grab these from Thingiverse here: Download Models

I was able to collect all of the combaticons from various sources sans any of the combiner bits.  Luckily someone on Cults3D had already modeled most of these and put them up for a couple of bucks.  I combined these with my Onslaught cannon model (in a previous post) and a remake of the G1 Onslaught\Bruticus gun designed for the combiner wars versions from Thingiverse (it still fits the G1 Bruticus hands just fine.)

I purchased a G1 Metroplex that was missing most of the accessories.  I found a lot of them on Thingiverse for free (fists, knee pads, tower, and antennae) but was still missing the ones related to Six Gun.  I added models for Six Guns arms (connected to Metroplexes arms), and the rear red cannons (also added an adapter piece that needs to be glued into the Tower model so the red rear cannons can be attached to it.   Download Models  for Six Gun (black arm cannons and red back cannon) And here are the free models I used (but designed by others): Hands (Thingiverse) Tower (Thingiverse) Knee Pads (Thingiverse) Antenna (Thingiverse)

 My G1 Octane was missing the rear wing, so I made a simple one for it.  This one doesn’t extend into a shield like the original, but it does fit nicely into the slot for the rear wing. Download Models
