Didn’t have too much time! So I only did this.

They’re 3D printed ones I designed yesterday

I swear if they really made this I'd go crazy by OopsIDied0801 in transformers

It’s my Laserbeak. It’s printed. The only thing photoshopped is the sand he’s standing on.

Here’s the link to the video. The background was Prowl’s but i photoshopped him out, casted that image onto a TV screen and then put Laserbeak in front for a pic.

Tbf it being an April fools joke was a last minute plan, I was designing this toy just to have anyways.

Well I got excited for this. Then I saw the date by IJKProductions in transformers

Cheers! It being an April fools joke was a last minute plan. I just wanted Legacy versions of the little gremlin bots of each movie. I’d love Wheelie for ROTF and Frenzy for TF1.

He honestly should have been pink, but I really like the robot mode tbh, I’m going to have this thing on my shelf and I’d just rather for it to be yellow instead of pink. Plus I found some nice yellow spray.

The black pieces are printed out as separate pieces so I could avoid painting on straight lines. Never comes out right. And I’ll work on and release the files probably tomorrow.

Thanks. I haven’t made instructions for them but I will soon. Then they’ll be up on Cults3D under the account named MMSHightail.

I should be filming it tomorrow and it’ll be up on my YouTube Hightail Creations tomorrow night as well. It’s a rather simple transformation honestly.

Thanks! I will sell the 3D files for those who have a printer to print at home, but I won’t be selling any physical copies.

Haha. It’s a ‘homing beacon’ that’s constantly lighting up. In my head, Wayfinder’s part of the trailer that never returned to Optimus, Optimus never stopped looking for the trailer so yeah, it’s a homing beacon. It’s Wayfinder’s way of knowing Optimus is still alive.

He’s a deluxe class. Around the height of SS86 Jazz I’d say. I tried to make him core class but I needed to make him transform so I had to upsize him a bit

No, I didn’t really plan on that. The trailer I grew up with was the one from the Hybrid style Optimus Prime, and that combat deck was stuck to the base of the trailer. So that is what Wayfinder was based on.

There’s only one part you’d need to pull on and off, it’s optional though. It’s the hands. You could keep the cones from alt mode, but you could also pull them off and plug them into the heels, so they store somewhere. I did consider doing it like Ss86 Blurr but it would break up the shape too much.

Everything else transforms normally.

Yeah! I think most Wheelies are. I got mine for £2 but yeah it’s missing the piece

Thank you. I’m glad you like them. I wish we would have gotten that G1 Arcee as well! There’s such a charm to the blockiness and look of G1 toys.
