Transformable Megatron (Updated!) (single print, no support material)

This is a transformable Megatron figure that prints in just two pieces. No assembly required! It stands over 120mm tall and transforms from tyrannical conqueror to tank. No support material is required to print. This makes cleaning the final product easy, and means you can transform it right off the build plate! Armed with his classic Fusion Cannon, he has sworn vengeance on all Autobots and their Leader, Optimus Prime. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3485752

-I have updated the connection between the Fusion Cannon and Megatron's right arm for robot mode. It now connects securely and he can optionally hold it more like a blaster (instead of attaching it to the side of his arm). I would have just updated the original but Thingiverse is broken now. Don't print that one! Print this one!-

Notes:

Megatron and his Fusion Cannon are two separate STL files. Despite my best efforts I was unable to integrate the two.

Megatron will need to be oriented with his back to the build plate.

The Fusion Cannon will need to be oriented with its "hooks" facing upwards.

I designed this model so that no support material is needed (I hate support material). I have uploaded all of its individual parts separately for potential remixes. The file for Megatron is Megassembly2_Thingiverse.stl and the file for his fusion cannon is FusionCannon2_Thingiverse.stl.

If you wish to print the model at another size or resolution, your results may vary but all joint tolerances are 0.4mm so be careful.
