We all know what's missing from the Generations Reflector...his buddies Spectro and Spyglass. Here's an attempt to render simplified versions of their G1 toy likenesses for the purpose of 3D printing.

These renders use c-clips for the shoulders and hips, allowing limited articulation. They don't transform, and their backs are hollow for the moment. I'm thinking about adding some kind of targetmaster feature back there. Also, the faces are...meh. But these guys are designed to print at 4.4 cm tall...so they wouldn't get much detail on their anyway.

I always figured the Generations guy was the "volunteer" from the Space bridge episode of G1, who looks like Reflector but is all alone.

Artwork looks good, although I'm wondring why you couldn't C-clip the knees? put the bar behind the Kneecap, and use the clip part on the upper leg? That might make the leg hollow so that the leg could fold in half and form a buttstock for the Targetmaster mode. Still gotta do something with the arms and the heads, but that's half the battle. Oh, and a trigger peg.

Oh, I'm not done with these. The arms are on c-clips, so they should be as poseable as the Targetmasters. I haven't monkeyed with the legs yet, because I'm still trying to figure out how I want to play the weapon features.

But, at the very least, I could 3D print standalone minifigs to scale with the Legends targetmasters, even if they weren't targetmasters themselves.
