Figures that actually transform
- Talmage Madsen's Optimus prints in one piece with no supports and no assembly, stands over five inches and has a trailer in truck mode. The same designer has a two-piece Megatron that turns into a tank, plus Bumblebee, Ratchet, a Decepticon tank and an Autobot Mystery Machine, all single prints and all CC BY.
- plasticbruv's MP10 is an articulated, color-separated Masterpiece-style Optimus that transforms, remixed from Petergross3's model.
- Mi Réplica 3D's Optimus calibration cube is a fully articulated print-in-place figure with no supports (CC0), Dr Operator's Lucky 13 skin folds into the truck, and actualSIZE's Ravage microcassette turns into a panther and fits inside a G1 Soundwave.
Articulated G1 figures
Toymakr3d's G1 line is fully articulated but not transformable: Optimus Prime is 20 cm at 1:30 and prints with no supports, and Jazz is 14 cm with 11 points of articulation; Bumblebee is in the top ten too. ChelsCCT's big 80s Optimus was printed in multi-material so it came out in color (CC BY), Max Sterling's Ravage has lockable legs held by 8 small magnets, and 3dworkbench's mini Optimus prints best in resin. Paint figures with the Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic starter set.
Cosplay: helmets and the Matrix
- MrFlippant's cosplay helmets and masks are remixed with permission from ToyMakr3D and Printformers; the faces print separately so you put them in after the helmet is on.
- zuperbuuworks' Orion Pax helmet from Transformers ONE is sized for a small person, so scale it up if you need to, and Jace1969's Optimus helmet is popular, though the designer isn't sure it's wearable.
- Spradlinb's Matrix of Leadership splits in half with room for electronics and a toggle switch, and zuperbuuworks' Transformers ONE Matrix works as a prop or, with a USB cable or LED strip, a lamp.
Fill layer lines on helmets with filler and sandable primer, and add a helmet padding kit for fit.
