EDIT: So a test batch of these helmets are up on Shapeways if anyone wants to give them a spin. Just send me a PM. They should fit, in theory...but I can't make any promises.
I'm contemplating releasing a version with built-in faceplates. Thoughts?

For instance, you might notice some really sloppy line work on Gears. That happened because SketchUp's "intersection" feature kept fracturing the planes whenever I tried to incorporate a new feature. This reduced me to manually re-inserting a lot of material...and, hence, all of those messy diagonals. There must be a better way to do this, but I couldn't find any useful tutorials. There's still all kinds of mess inside his head...Shapeways is probably not going to like that.

And then I tried Hot Rod...
Man, that ovular head shape is really not any fun at all.

So there you have it, helmets and chestplates for Ultra Magnus, Kup, Blurr, Springer, and Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime.

nice, it certainly has that kreon/chibi quality to it. though, right click on those extra lines and select "soften" and the'll be merged into the rounded shape w/ the faces.

Uhm...no.
Are there any British TF fans that would like to try?
(Easy to mistake them, though.)
