Action Tank and Battle Station for Transformers WFC Jackpot

And we kick off the new month with a mammoth tank rolling in to give serious armor and firepower to Jackpot from the WFC Kingdom Golden Disc line!

Inspired by some prototype shots of a never released vehicle for Actionmaster Jackpot from back in the day, this tank sits Jackpot snugly.

And packing a main turret and a pair of missile pods, it surely will make any day in combat a lucky day for Jackpot! Of course, these are all sized to fit effect parts, and the missiles are also sized as 5mm pegs too.

But of course, that's not all, time to transform this into an armored battle station for Jackpot! First the turret and missile pods can be removed, and the side of the tank folds down.

Flipping the front points of the tank forward to form the toes, the back of the tracks also flip down and out to form heels to give better balance!

And for heavier arms, the inner part of the missile pod slides up to expose more missiles which can be used to take down all those pesky flying seekers!

As most parts are sized to be 5mm pegs and ports, effect parts fit in nicely too create a more dynamic display! As an alternative, the missile pod and back of the tank can also be configured to act as a separate autonomous missile turret. And the turret itself, when separated, can be placed under Sight's control to provide an additional fire base!

=== Assembly ===

Being a fairly complex kit, here's a labelled diagram of all the parts which go into it.

For the pegs which hold all the moving parts together, here's a separate diagram showing where they go.

As usual, though all these pegs are in the kit as 3d printable pieces, they can also be substituted with 5mm plastic/acrylic pegs cut down to length. These would be faster and probably stronger too.

Where the "TreadTab" pieces attach to the "Front" pieces, and where the "Back_Handle" attaches to the "Back" piece, the holes are sized to be 2mm so you can use 1.75mm 3d printing filament to thread the pieces together.

Phew, this took a little longer to pull together than we thought - so hope everyone enjoys this little homage to the piece which we never got back in the day! Happy 3d printing this one for your own Jackpot too! =)

[16 Jun Update]

And here's a fun little update to make this compatible with our Autopod pieces too! An alternate back portion here has been added, which comes with a vertical hitch pole inside.

This will allow the Autopod Trailer to be connected up and be towed along by Jackpot too!

Hope yáll have fun with this option piece too!
