Third party newcomer 115 Utopia have uploaded, via their Weibo account, images of their YYW-02A Upgrade Kit For Siege Galaxy Optimus Prime.
This kit offers you a pair of fillers for the main cannons, 2 new toy-accurate guns and 2 pieces for a proper rear bumper in alt mode to hide the notorious robot feet. A nice offering to improve an already good figure.
This kit is available only via TaoBao at the moment, but hopefully it will be available via stateside and other retailers soon.

Overall, this set works much better than the DNA Design kit despite being 3D printed. Own both.
The feet cover, however, is trash and should just get thrown out. It's one solid piece, not two, and the paint is not even close to matching. You won't miss it.
I would advise going over the paint (for any 3d printed kit) with clear coats to protect the paint job. Not sure what silver paint they use, though, as some will smear when sprayed over. I used Krylon uv archival varnish spray, which doesn't smudge.
The blasters have some minor port size problems. I went through the hassle to fix those.
Otherwise, liked the kit.

I just want a head with antennae that can fold back for this guy, because I despise the flappy-flappy elephant ear look.

I really only want the guns. anyone want to split this set?

That’s not the only thing. Hopefully there’ll be a combiner port piece added so we can imitate savage claw mode

I am very satisfied with the result:

Totally easy to install. The cannon fillers fit perfectly. Silver paint is a bit darker but I can't live with that.

Toy-accurate guns are very nice too. Once again, the red does not match perfectly with the red on the toy but it's acceptable.

Due to the position of the connector, the guns can't be held in a normal position in the robot hands, but they work as "fillers" for the single truck mode.

The guns look great on the alt mode, and you can still use the original guns of the figure. The rear bumper piece fits great and it lets the truck roll with no problem.

As you may have noticed, I added some Reprolabels to my figure too. This kit is simple but fun and improves to toy just where it needed.

To top it all, it seems a second kit is coming! More toy-accurate parts for this figure.

Where can I buy this set?

I am assuming these are 3d printed like the Dai Atlas fillers

Sounds like a grand idea to me.

I figured that's how it worked. I'm more hyped about the weapon parts more, anyway.
Actually, Tubbymus Prime is perfect, how dare tanj-marroons have opinions against mimes! Sewage Gal axes Prime only needs armormode! no bot!
Is that how it goes? Does this null the problem? I hope so…
Anyways, what do you suggest for the core robot mode? I'm curious.

Y'all might not wanna get yours hopes up too high about the feet: as far as I can tell, the "foot corrector thing" is a single piece that's meant to act purely as an improvement to the bumper in vehicle mode. There are no pictures of the two feet of it separated, and the only picture we have with it in robot mode is it stuck on the back of the gun/wing backpack.

^THIS.
It always bugs me every time I see him in vehicle mode.

Suege Galaxy Convoy's core robot mode needs an upgrade kit 9001% more than his Super mode does. :/
I wonder if someone's gonna tell me to learn to spell before giving rubbish opinions and call me a moron again…

Just a little bit more polish, and this turd is almost good enough to buy!
