Siege add-on kits and parts
4 Attachment(s)
Hey - I recently purchased a 3D printer after just getting back into collecting Transformers. My projects will be posted here which have been mainly for the Siege figure line (because that is all I have so far).
Parts are printed in colors of material I currently have on hand and shown without any paint apps. Kits are available to purchase. Send me a message to inquire. Pricing will range from $15 to $25
I am open to and encourage all feedback/suggestions (good or bad) and requests. Let me know what you think!
First kit to show is Ratchet. Parts listed below.
2x lower legs (inside knees)
2x knees back side
2x feet (bottom)
2x forearms (inner)
2x biceps (inner)
6x 5mm port filler (4x arms, 2x lower outside leg)
1x back

Re: Siege add-on kits and parts
These look fantastic. As for a suggestion...
I'd be interested in a kit for Refraktor to mimic the Reconnaissance set toy version camera components. I want the flash, viewfinder (ideally without "Refraktor" across it) and grip for my purple clones. Give me the toon version all the way. Maybe there's enough interest beyond just me.
I saw some from China but wasn't too impressed for the price. Honestly, I'd rather give you the business although I get that it's way more involved than gap fillers.
Can't wait to see what you have up next regardless.

Hey thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it.
Yes I think figure is looking much better with the gaps filled and am very happy with how it looks.

Do you have a link of the kit you were looking at? I would like to see it to see what would be involved to create. My initial thoughts are it might be more expensive than just buying the set from Toys R Us that includes the extra parts?
I do have lots more of my work to post here so stay tuned!

Re: Siege add-on kits and parts
Looks great.
Does it still transform with all that attached?
Let me know details. I'd be down for a set.
Post what else you have.

Some parts may need to be taken off for transformation , I have not tested this yet. My design intent for these kits is mainly to improve the aesthetics of robot mode.

Good day!
My Optimus kit is in progress. So far the parts I have designed are the rockets on the back with blast effects, new shoulder flaps with stacks, axe and blade weapons.
Let me know what you think! Suggestions? Additions/changes?

These kits look pretty decent. For the amount of parts $30 isn't too bad but since it's USD it's a bit much. The print quality looks good to me and is what should be expected from a FDM 3D printer (which is what I have). The other kits on the website are mainly weapons which to me look like are printed from a resin SLA printer get that detailed and clean looking.

I just got the Ratchet kit in hand and holy crap is it well done. Easily one of the best printed kits I have ever used.

Finally got the Siege Laserbeak and Ravage cassettes. The laserbeak is pretty good but definitely needed some G1 style rocket lasers. Here is my progress so far. Also made a 5mm peg mount to clip laserbeak's foot into.

I just started working on this so I dont have a price yet.
I want to do Ravage weapons too so watch for those soon!
I dont have Ratbat or Frenzy figures yet. What weapons/parts would you like? pictures?
5mm Pegs for Soundwave (or any other figure) will be part of Laserbeak kit!

Siege Ravage did not look right to me. The head looks like a rat or something so I attempted to give a closer G1 look.
Here is a comparison with the new head vs rat head.

Designed and printed the missile rockets. Then tried using chrome paint to see if it would work. I think it turned out pretty good and now much happier with the look of the figure with the upgrades.

Man, he looks so damn good with those empty hollow areas filled in.
By the way, is your username a BattleTech reference?

Thanks, yes I agree the figure looks more complete with the empty parts filled.
My username is actually from a song by Amon Tobin, if interested... https://open.spotify.com/album/3jNgJEw3e1PSDXsZkDHDXa

New add ons for Siege Sideswipe (and Red Alert in alt color) in vehicle mode. The exhaust part can then be used in robot mode as jetpack thrusters which is compatible with 5mm blast effects. Also new spoiler which comes in two parts to allow leg movement in robot mode.

Absolutely outstanding. I thought mine was missing the oldschool Countach spoiler when I opened the box and saw what looked like ports of accessories on the back of the legs.

Having some fun with Ghostbusters theme and trying my hand at designing a proton pack and gun so Ectotron can have some help busting those ghosts. Did some dry brushing with silver paint to bring out the details and give a worn look. Added custom blast effect to simulate energy stream.
What you think?

Re: Siege add-on kits and parts
Nice work! How does it connect? Is there a stud on the back that plugs into the Siege-equivalent of a G.I. Joe Backpack Port? The sculpt is great.
Your pack has more paint than Ectotron! The four red lights on the cyclotron are a bit too vertically rectangular, and the stream should be a more wavey, not a straight cylinder but more of a reddish curve with blue lighting wrapped around it. Not throwing any shade your way!
Forgive me. I'm a member of the Montreal Ghostbusters so I'm clearly a bit too... well, pick your adjective. Great work once again and I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Re: Siege add-on kits and parts
Hey, thanks for the feedback. You clearly know more about GB than I do! The proton pack connects via 5mm peg on the backside. I know the details are not exact but when printing this small some liberties need to be taken.
I agree the energy stream could use some work to be more accurate. It was my first attempt and I am limited to colors unless I paint which I don't do a lot of but I do appreciate your recommendations.

Thanks for the link. I don't think this would print very well on my FDM printer unfortunately as the stream parts are very thin and long. It would be easily broken. I think it is more suitable for printing from Shapeways but even that I would be worried about breakage. Thanks for the idea, its appreciated!
