Head of DREAD pet Chet 3D print model

Version 2.0 (Designed circa 2013)

_"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.

In an odd twist from the standard Vehicon trooper, D.R.E.A.D troops have much forceful personalities and eschew faceless masks for individual, unique helmets. They also don't mind the use of melee weapons and slagging it out at close range, but they won't pass on heavy artillery if given the chance."_

This is the headsculpt of 'Chet', one of three original characters for the Direct Response, Espionage & Assault Department (D.R.E.A.D), a team I made up to exist in the Transformers Prime mythos. They are inspired by the Decepticon 'Dreads' soldiers seen in the Dark of the Moon movie, now given a Prime aesthetic and a helpful backstory. As you might expect, 'Chet' was a reinterpretation of Hatchet. Shrouded in mystery, he's supposed to look even more alien than most Transformers, with visual cues taken from the Vehicons, Insecticons, etc. A 'living bomb', he is the D.R.E.A.D. team's final solution should things go awry. They'd drop him onto the battlefield, a massive ball of claws, teeth and gun barrels, and pick up the pieces later.

Originally released on Shapeways (Model ID: 9GAFJKEHB).

This head model is meant to fit onto and replace the head of the TF:Prime RID deluxe Vehicon figure, and connects to the body using a 4mm diameter ball socket.

This assembly comes in three parts, a light-piping rear piece (to be printed in transparent resin), the main face sculpt, as well as a lower jaw piece that clips onto the side of the head. The lower jaw can hinge open, revealing a 3mm diameter port inside the mouth that can be accessorized with other parts.This model has been successfully printed in SLA resin, so that process is recommended as it best expresses the details of the model.
