    I've seen a few examples of this mold being used to make megatron. I was looking at the "nerf Meg's" and saw possibility.
    Shaved down Meg's torso and it slides right in. Just undo some screws pop off the jet parts and BOOM! Megatron.
    I'll probably make it permanent so I can fill gaps and add paint etc. but I'm not sure I want to ruin the only viable mold of my favorite character in 20 some yrs. at least not til I get another one anyway.
    I fixed the arms by adding pieces of shopping card in the little gap behind them pretty quick and easy.

    Too bad you are left with a jet cockpit dangling between his legs

    You could cut off the cockpit, but the jet mode would be lost, if it stays the tank mode is lost

    unless you are willing to parts form either the cockpit or the megatron cube

    But fully integrated triple changing megs with this mould seems like it'd be more trouble than its worth

    Just my opinion, other than that, looks nice

    If you're wanting a new blitzwing to replace this one check Tuesday morning and meijer, if you have any near you. Tuesday morning has been getting him and double dealer for $13. Both the meijer's near me are running an additional % 50 off clearance items. Got blitzwing and roadbuster for $9 each.
