Definitely one of the most memorable ultimate weapons from the Transformers universe, the Matrix Buster sure tilted the balance of power greatly in Big Convoy's favor!
Being almost as long and massive as Big Convoy is tall, this shoulder mounted behemoth of a weapon would unleash an unimaginable blast!
The back portion of the blaster fits snugly over Big Convoy's shoulder while his left arm and hand slot into the hollow portion beneath the central part to hold it steady.
And then, the foldable handle can be extended to be pegged into Big Convoy's right hand for aiming. Finally, the pair of rubber tubes (which need to be bought separately, more on this later), will connect the blaster itself to the ports on either side of his waist.
Interestingly, there is also a pretty obscure reference in the TakaraTomy version of God Neptune's comic which showed him wielding the Matrix Buster too. So just had to try that out too!
=== Assembly ===
The attached diagram shows how the various parts of this build and how they are supposed to be fitted together.
Most parts were designed separately to make for easier printing and then painting. When putting it together, some bits will require a dab to superglue to hold in place, like the Muzzle_Outer on Muzzle_Inner. As well as the Top Cables.
The only part which cannot be 3d printed for this built is the 5mm outer diameter red rubber tubing, so that needs to be purchased separately and then cut down to size. An example of this can be something like these: https://amzn.to/3UnGNbe

Phew, this was quite a large and noteworthy piece which definitely has a commanding presence on the display shelf. So hope it would be a equally fun and fruitful build for all of your Big Convoys (and God Neptunes) too.
Happy 3d printing! =)
