Description
Inspired by the funnily strange alt mode which Megatron took on in the Skybound Comics, here's an addon kit to give your Earthrise Megatron this gunk (gun + tank) look!
This kit comprises of a front barrel and a rear attachment (with handle and hammer).
With Megatron in his alt mode, the front attachment basically acts as an barrel extension, and the rear piece pegs into the hollow on the rear of this cannon.
With a small included effect part piece, you can add on any effect part you like and slide it into the barrel for a more dynamic look!
For a more interactive clickity trigger, we've also designed an alternate handle piece which is made of two halves. Inside the halves, a mount allows a keyboard switch to be embedded with the trigger pegged onto the front.
For a little bit for electronics expansion for those looking to do that, the rear of the keyboard switch holder has been left open. This should allow connecting the switch to more electronic components as you like.
The two halves of the handle are then closed up using a bunch of M3 nuts and bolts (more on this below).
Here's a quick video showing how the halves are assembled - https://youtu.be/-X6TXFt6ytw
=== Assembly ===
Included here is the assembly diagram for the gunk kit.
As mentioned, there are two options for the handle - a solid version and a shelled version which allows a keyboard switch to be used to make for a clickity trigger.
For the latter version, these are the additional pieces of hardware required:

Hope this pretty random addon will be a fun one, especially for any one of you Starscream cosplayers out there! Happy 3d printing! =)
