Battle Platform for Transformers Earthrise Ironhide

As a homage to how the very first Ironhide was, here's an addon kit which will help convert his Earthrise shield to resemble his battle platform!

This set comprises of a three tread parts, and an articulated turret with separate missile. The articulated arm of the turret can be assembled using short lengths of 1.75mm filament as the "pin".

Here's how it looks like when it all comes together! A tracked little battle platform to aid Ironhide in the toughest skirmishes against the Decepticreeps!

And of course, the tip of the missile also allows for blast effects to be added. And the rear of the turret sports a 5mm port for more effect parts to be pegged and act as back blast effects.

Just using these parts on their own, there's an alternative configuration to turn them into a mini drone. This is done by rotating the side treads horizontally and attaching to the front tread. With the turret mounted on Ironhide's back, the tread components can also be used as a little arm buckler.

With the back mounted turret in bot mode, Ironhide can recreate his seeker chasing moment from the pilot series, when he gets tired of just sucking on their vapor trails

Coming to alt mode, the treads can be stowed away in his spacious rear hold with the turret being roof-mounted, either with or without his original blaster.

Hope this brings a little bit of nostalgia back to Ironhide, have fun 3d printing this set for your own collection! =)
