Question Paper craft Transformers?

Hi. My Girlfriend loves following step by step crafts. I figured it would be ideal if she could make Transformers characters. Where is the best source for toon accurate g1 paper craft TFS? No need to transform. Masterpiece scale is ideal. Thanks!

Dunno about papercraft models, but there are metal sheet models from various companies (metal earth and maple MU comes to mind) that could be of interest. The maple MU ones are especially detailed and very fun to make (I've done Soundwave and his cassettes).

Re: Paper craft Transformers?

Sorry, don't have specific sites for you, but I do remember googling through places that did have transformers and various other papercraft robots, so they do exist.

Re: Paper craft Transformers?

Sunburst those might just be perfect.


We ordered the Jazz and we'll see if it satisfies her crafty craving. They definitely look amazing.


She said we can only make autobots though because she doesn't support evil characters. I feel that's fair.

Re: Paper craft Transformers?

Papercraft is used alot for diorama and military and historical modelling. They would be great for backgrounds and structures. There are a few websites out there that have paid and free models. I have seen some Transformers things in the past, but best to search online and see what comes up, as they are not common...more Gundam stuff is out there tbh. Paper Transformer or Card Transformer would be ideal to search. Let us know if you find anything of interest!

Re: Paper craft Transformers?

Apparently there are storybooks for Armada that came from Reader's Digest which have punch-out figures inside them.

Glad I could help! There are loads of non-transformers metal models if she ends up liking those a lot.

As for papercraft, I was surprised to find transforming ones exist after a quick google search!

Re: Paper craft Transformers?

Worldworksgames has some sci-fi giant mecha and terrain designed for papercraft or cardstock. Their page for one even has not-Optimus Prime fighting not-Megatron.

Designed for tabletop gaming, so most terrain would be Mini-con/Micromaster/Titan Master/Battlemaster sized. But the mecha should be at least close to Deluxe class height.

Re: Paper craft Transformers?

There's lots of sites and places with papercraft transformers. I used to make them a lot. There are simple boxy types all the way up to Bayverse complexity.
