Generations METROPLEX: Where can I buy the 3rd party upgrade kits?

I just had my GIGANTIC Generations Metroplex and I'm very happy with it. However, he can be so much more. I heard there's some 3rd party company who made new weapons, hands, ramps, and even a new head for him. Unfortunately, I have a hard time finding where the hell can I buy those things using Google. All I see is news reports but nothing precise.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Preferably a place with pictures, prices, and where they can take no-credit-card international Paypal.

It's not so much as a company but a one man operation similar to Venksta and Renderform. I think this is the guy.

Thanks guys. I think I'll pass on the 3D printer stuff. Too iffy looking for me. However, that cannon look amazing. Is it really just in plain gray like that? 56$ total is a bit expansive for just a transforming gun. Still, this would improve the city mode a lot.

There is also this head upgrade from Unique Toys, it also comes with a radar dish and additional gun turret.

Reprolabels also has a nice sticker upgrade:

I believe three different companies have showed prototypes for a Six Gun figure, but to my knowledge none of them are available for pre-order yet.

Thanks ElDuque for the heads-up. I will keep an eye open for the Unique Toy's head and radar upgrade. I find the original head a little iffy and it's radar dont lock in place. So, if the reviews are good, I'm buying.

As for Reprolabel, I just spendt and hour and a half applying the original stickers. They are perfect as it is and Reprolabel's is just overkill. However, I DID buy the separate sheet for the red gun. Sure, 7.70$CAN for just 3-4 stickers is a bit expansive, but man, does that drab gun need it.

Final question. How small is the WST G1 Optimus? RTS Legend Optimus is the best to go so far with Metroplex, but he's still too big. A minicon sized transformable Optimus would be perfect.

Well, I don't (yet) have Metroplex, so I can't post a picture of WST Optimus together with him, but if it helps you to get an idea, here he is with a bunch of other Optimi:

Image

He's the one in the upper right, to the left of RTS Legends Optimus.

And in vehicle mode:

Image

He's the one on top of the tall stack of Optimi.

I'd question if getting him to use with Metroplex would be a good idea, unless you plan on either just having Metroplex and Optimus, or you plan on amassing a whole collection of WST figures to go with Metroplex. He is rather smaller then a Legends class figure, and would look out of place amongst them. (Including, don't forget, the Scamper that comes with Metroplex.)

Wow.

WST is the BEST scale! I WANT!
I find legends too big for Metroplex, especially because of the windows that are is voicebox activation button. On the windows stickers, each one illustrate a robot, to show how HUGE Metroplex really is. So, WST and minicons will be best. I'll start with Optimus and maybe I'll go for others.

As for Scamper, I'll just imagine it as a MASSIVE space-drone or something.

Also, you got G1 Orion Pax?! That's hardcore, man.
