Ok - I'm seeing lots of opportunities in this area -
specially to all you customizers out there.
Essentially, it's a 3d Printer (yes a 3d printer) -

If you have an CAD drawing of (i dunno say, custom figure head or even new accessories you wish your TF ought to have, heck even a new figure) ... making it (on a production level) has become easier! just plug it into a 3D printer and watch it get built.

You can buy a 3d printer for $1500US 50/KG for the medium it uses to construct the item.

Or... if you have extra time, you can build one (instructions are on the following video).

And.... if you're feeling very generous, you can use the one you previously bought and have it build a replica of itself! (one for me).

What if you're not good at CAD you say? - simple, just grab the drawing and print it yourself. You can download a car!

No I'm not a reseller for this product- though i do see lots of benefits to the TF community (even if niche) because now all the rip-off customizers are in for some competitiion.... and we may see the MP Ultra Magnus Armor come to fruition pretty soon! ... YES I AM DREAMING!
