Cheers, I'm very pleased with how it came out. There was a point where it was a lot more complex, but thankfully I was able to sands down most of that

Transformation video is also live now, if you want to see how this lad actually works

Weird flex but I'm particulary pleased with how well the backpack turned out.
Bit of animated mass shifting to compress for bot mode, then it cleans up and locks together nicely around the back.
His alt mode is surprisingly big, probably voyager sized, but in bot mode he compresses and widens so he's appropriately short next to other bots
(yes that's a weird selection for size comparison most of my animated toys are at my folks place)
I made a new toy, meet Animated Brawn!
Very happy with how this grumpy fellow came out. I did the first CAD for him years ago, so it feels great to have finally finished one of my long abandoned projects.
And, files to print him are available now!

Managed to find an old reddit post comparing them. If you want a transforming companion, I think its your best bet
Ok, its incredibly specific, but the Jinbao OSKO of Newage megatron is perfectly scaled for that prime. Its a KO from a few years back, but its quality is absoluately mainline standard or better and I'm sure you could find it on Aliexpress for like £15
Reading this made me real glad I pre-ordered him last year and very excited to get him in hand
Frankly my love of brave spawned from watching your videos on the toys back in the day, so the Vangelus seal of approval is a big deal for this guy
Yeah anything from Bambu is basically market leading right now, and most user friendly. If money and space (and sound) is a concern the A1-mini is brilliant, if you're prepared to splash a little cash then the P1S is as close to resin quality as you can get without dealing with harsh chemicals
SG Prime is also packing plentiful purple powermaster parts printed by the profoundly talented @sam-makes-toys.bsky.social
BARELY got him done in time, but Mixmaster is ready for prime time. If you're at tfcon, come check him out, I'll be wandering around with the boys
I'll take some proper photos Saturday to post online
God damn, he actually looks amazing in the G1 colours. Awesome stuff!
Another 3D printed transforming bot, Pipes by @sam-makes-toys.bsky.social. Printed this one larger than the default size for the figure because I wanted him to be at average deluxe scale.
Now here's something real special: A 3d printed copy of my Guzzle! You may remember I did this years ago for MMC but it got shelved in favor of something more comic accurate. Never thought I'd hold it in my hands, but thanks to the always amazing @sam-makes-toys.bsky.social I now do!!!
Hell yeah we do
What absolute classics. Still some of the best transforming toys ever made and definitely one of my favourite megatron designs ever. I stop have mine posed with the bazooka fusion cannon setup
I realize I've not posted in here yet so here's a fun thing I've not mentioned on other platforms yet
I've cracked at least a first full version of Animated Mixmaster. I think I might be able to get 1 trial print ready so I can bring him and his buddy to TFCon
Yeah it's doing fairly well and I'm very pleased. Lots of lessons learned around fees and shipping though, good lessons to learn now for future sales
Really glad you dig the kit, been blown away by the response to it so far!
Installed the Armada Megatron shoulder kit from Sam's Forge (@sam-makes-toys.bsky.social). Absolutely improves the figure 1000% and doesn't hinder the transformation at all
