With the latest iteration of Wild Rider upon us, here's a homage piece to the mega Plasma Energy Blaster which he came with back in Generation One!
Though it has a fairly simple geometry, two versions of this has been provided - a full version if you plan to print it in one shot, and a version with a separate front bit to make for easier printing and also to offer more display options. More on that later.
Once printed out, there simply tabs into the two 5mm ports on the top of Wild Rider's alt mode!
And then both of Wild Rider's guns attach to the side of this piece. The twin barrels allow for effect parts to be added on from the front and on the rear of the piece, a pair of 5mm ports allow for more effect parts to be added, and finally on the top of the blaster, a 3mm peg lets damage effects be used too.
Now, when it comes to using the alternate version which has the front and back part of the blaster separate, a shorter version of the roof-mounted blaster can be used.
Coming over to his bot mode, this oversized blaster can be held in either hand in a mega canon mode! In fact it's so large when compared to him, it almost feels like an entire shield for Wild Rider.
And there we have it, the ultimate pew pew weapon for Wild Rider! ;)
=== Assembly ===
There are two alternate versions/parts for this set.
For the separate version with front and back, these can be placed vertically on the build plate for printing to reduced the amount of support material needed.

Hope everyone enjoys this little homage to the G1 accessory of old - happy 3d printing ! =)
