Dreadacle Tentacles for TF Prime DREAD Vehicon 3D print model

"The Direct Response Espionage & Assault Department (D.R.E.A.D) is a sinister branch of Megatron's Vehicon forces. Consisting of the most skilled and ruthless of his soldiers, each D.R.E.A.D member is an expert in infiltrating enemy bases and conducting assassination missions on high profile targets. Apart from Soundwave himself, the D.R.E.A.Ds are the best hackers and infiltrators among Megatron's troops.

These Dreadacles they use are one of the ways they connect themselves to security systems to deliver their synergized, brute force attacks. Not many systems are able to withstand their corrupting touch. In the event of a tussle, these whip-like, vicious appendages can be used as effective weapons in a pinch."

These are the files for creating the Dreadacles, tentacle add-ons that can peg into any 3mm port. Assemble each dreadacle starting with DreadacleBase3mmPeg.stl, with multiples of DreadacleLink.stl forming the main body, and ending off with a DreadacleEnd3mmPort.stl. DreadacleClaw.stl and DreadacleKunai.stl or any 3mm compatible accessory can be mounted on each Dreadacle end. The Dreadacle Claw grip is also 3mm compatible. Moreover, the diameter of each Dreadacle Link is 5mm, which means dreadacles can be held in hand by most Transformers figures scout sized and above.

You can install the 6X3 Backpack (https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/games-toys/toys/dread-backpack-6x3-for-tf-prime-deluxe-vehicon) on any TF:Prime vehicon to enable it to mount 6 dreadacles.
