Make Your Own Awesome 3D-Printed TRANSFORMERS Matrix of Leadership

View fullsize

I'll never forget the moment I was sitting in a movie theater watch Transformers: The Movie 30 years ago and witnessing the deaths of some of my favorite characters, including Optimus Prime. I was completely heartbroken, but I still loved the hell out of the movie! Just in case you forgot, before Prime died he removed the Matrix of Leadership from his chest and dropped it. That's the moment Hot Rod caught it and gave it to Ultra Magnus. Little did Hot Rod know at the time that he would be the next leader of the Autobots. You can watch that whole depressing scene below.

But first, I have a video for you to watch that takes you through the steps of creating your very own real life Matrix of Leadership! The replica prop was created by Bob Clagett of OBGrollout, and as you'll see, it turned out really cool. 

Check out how I used 3d printing to make a Transformers prop, The Matrix of Leadership!

yeah, i cried. DISCLAIMER: I DONT OWN ANY OF THIS.
