Transformers Rattrap Subaquatic Stealth Vessel 3D print model

Right out of one of the zanier episodes where Silverbolt dropped Rattrap into the water to search for Axalon's wreckage - here's the Subaquatic Stealth Vessel!

This fun little piece is built around a 12cm diameter Clear Xmas ornament where Transmetal Rattrap can be placed, and then the various 3d printed bits will be glued onto it, forming the sub itself.

We got the empty Xmas ornament ball from a local art supply store, so searching a similar store near you (maybe after Xmas when things are cheaper?) may be a good bet. Alternatively, we managed to find a similar listing on Amazon here ( https://amzn.to/3280xde ), though it seems like you may have to get a bunch at once.

So, once the parts have been painted up and super glued in place, you can place Rattrap snugly in there, and close up the front cover, keeping him safe and dry!

From the rear, the propeller has been design to connect to the engine using a central peg, so can actually be spun to different angles as you prefer.

And as always, ample 5mm ports have been added to the design to allow for effect parts to be pegged on. Even to the front facing lights portion, but whatever works best for your display!

Instead of using TM Rattrap, if you have the more recent WFC Kingdom version handy, he can definitely fit inside too, just that it does make the sub seem a lot roomier for him!

Also, if you opt to leave the top loop of the Xmas sphere in place just like we did, the entire setup can be suspended from a shelf or on a Xmas tree too as you like!

=== ASSEMBLY ===

The attached diagam shows all the parts for this build and how they go together on the 120cm diameter sphere.

To attach the parts securely onto the Xmas ornament sphere, you'll probably need some dabs of superglue on the Front, Back and the concave portion of the Engine01 parts.

Both the Light-L and Light-R pieces will likely need to be superglued to the respective notches on Engine02 to make things more secure too.

And there we have it - a fun little sub to allow Rattrap to explore the dark and dangerous depths of the water in his little mission to find the Axalon! It's not a pretty job, but if anybot's up to it, it will be Rattrap!

As always, happy 3d printing this piece and hope it makes for a cool little addition to your Beast Wars collection or display! =)
