Upgrade Kit for Transformers Siege Crosshairs

thingiverse

Many people have taken a chunky wheel mod for Siege Crosshairs and done it well, but I wanted to take it further to differentiate him even more from Ironhide. This kit is my most complex one yet! Print four of chhubcap.stl and chaxlelock.stl. Print two of chsidebox.stl, frontaxle.stl, chwheelbottom.stl and chwheeltop.stl Duplicate, mirror and print two of chwheelbottom.stl and chwheeltop.stl for the opposite side. Duplicate, mirror and print chrearaxle.stl for the opposite side Assembly and Installation - Remove all four wheels, the front bumper and side panels. Attach the G1 toy-inspired side boxes to the clips that used to hold the side panels. If you have Siege Ratchet, he'd appreciate some new hand-me-down wheels. Attach the small red chest part to the peg on the front window for some of that G1 asymmetry. Glue the tops of the wheels to the bottoms of the wheels. Make sure to note that there are two left wheels and two right wheels! Insert the axles, locking them in place with the axle lock - the wheels should spin fast and freely! Press the hubcaps into place on top. Align the square corners of the front axles to the square corners of the main piece and attach with an M2 screw or 2mm pin. Plug the completed front wheel assembly into the 5mm port underneath the figure. For transformation, fold the wheels back, and spin the whole assembly up so the wheels are positioned behind the shoulders, creating a badass silhouette and bulking out the area where the bumper would have been (or leave them down for G1 butt wheel action!). Plug the rear axles into the original sockets with the square protrusion facing forward to lock them into place. For transformation, pull the axles out enough to rotate that square protrusion to top of the wheel arch, then push them back into place, centering the wheel on the leg for neatness reasons. Enjoy!
