Transformers 5 Megatron 3D Printing Model | Assembly

Here comes a new Megatron 3D Printing Model from Transformers: The Last Knight movie - the fifth part of Transformers franchise. It tells about Autobots - alien humanoid machines from far-away planet Cybertron. 

Megatron is Decepticons' clan leader and the main antagonist of the franchise. Once he ruled over Cybertron together with Optimus Prime, who later became Autobots' leader. But then he appeared to be that type of a ruler who took things away from his partials. Optimus Prime wasn’t OK with this and the war started. During the conflict Cybertron was destroyed and Megatron became obsessed with killing Optimus Prime and headed to the Earth.

If you watched the previous titles, you should remember the number of times Megatron was damaged, wounded, he even was considered to be killed a couple of times. But Decepticons' leader always finds a way to stay alive. He is described as a technically perfect machine, with an enormous IQ and great physical strength. 

Megatron Model for 3D Printing shows all his strength and power. The model is made as much alike its prototype as possible. The armor and weapons of the figurine are highly detailed.

This model requires assembling. It is split into nine pieces. That allows reducing the amount of plastic spent, and your printer won’t create extra support for overhangs. Even though one doesn’t print the base, the model will keep its balance and won’t fall over when standing on its feet.

Watch how to assemble Megatron 3D Printing figurine in the tutorial video at Gambody YouTube channel.

After being 3D printed, the 3D model with the support base will stand 195.47 mm wide, 244.55 mm tall, and 195.47 mm deep. Without the base: 108.08 mm wide, 205.14 mm tall, and 61.86 mm deep.
