Galaxy Shuttle and Astrotrain come with a lot of accessories. This helipad is an homage to the G1 Countdown Rocket Base and is compatible with the A.I.R. Lock connectors on the launchpad/tender. It has a 5mm post on top to serve as a launchpad or base for turrets and other accessories. It has 4 stand legs that can be extended or folded up to change its height (that means you will need to print 4 of them).

Print the helipad in resin, and the stand legs in PLA for the best results. I used Tamiya TS-42 to match the existing paint on the launchpad.

Base Modes

Galaxy Shuttle's launchpad is great, but a little underwhelming, and my core class figures needed something to do. I designed A.I.R. Lock accessories to expand the launchpad into a full base. Hasbro designer Mark Maher has stated that Galaxy Shuttle's launchpad was an homage to the G1 Countdown Rocket Base, so I decided to double down on that.

Now, there are places to all of Galaxy Shuttle's accessories to go when he is in shuttle mode and the base is more filled out and presentable, with lots of opportunity for interaction with core class scaled figures.
