    Not quite yet, no. I want to get all Megatron's add-ons tweaked and fully working before I put them up for sale, so I can do one massive "WOOHOO, HE'S HERE!" type post. :lol

    I have to say, that Megatron looks more like a stern, old, robot nanny. So instead of a stripper name, I'll call him Nannytron. :dunce

    What part of the UK do you live in Johnbonhamatron? You can have a borrow of my MP 10 if you want to use him as scale reference?

    I'm East midlands based so can get to Lincoln, Doncaster, Sheffield, Nottingham and Leeds fairly easily.

    Meggy Doughtfire is creepy on all the levels, only way it could be worse is if the whole deco of the figure were in leopard print :lol

    Maaaaaaaaany piccies will be taken. :D 

    He reminds me of this:

    [​IMG]

    :p 

    That's very kind of you (and I'm now trying to work out whether you in fact live down the road from me, based on that description), but I have a personal rule about never borrowing things off people, the reason being... I've still got some Pratchett books I borrowed off a mate when I was 26.

    I'm now 37... :p 

    You can help, though, if you've got a ruler, or a tape measure or summat! If ye let me know roughly how tall MP-10 is at the top of his central crest (not the ears), I can do a pretty damn accurate scale digibash of my modded Prime and Megs. :D 

    Don't tempt me... :lol

    Heh, thanks very much. :) 

    That does look good, aye, but I'm still leaning away from replacing the entire fusion cannon. :p

    That's Phase 7 of Megatron's infiltration protocol.

    And yes, it is, I screwed that pic up, and only realised after I'd put the studio away... :lol

    Lovely work turning an iffy mold into a fantastic one! And as for the head, it seems a perfect size to me; it makes the figure have a human set of proportions rather than the usual tiny pin head/ overly large body aesthetic...but that's just personal preference!
    Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see your future projects!

    I was strongly considering the DX9 upgrade kit, but with this, you have taken my money out of their pocket and put it in yours. Can't wait for the cap for the canon. I think that is the thing that bothers me the most about the figure.

    Thanks very much. :D 

    Oh aye, it's certainly possible to do, and it does look brilliant in bot mode. The reason why I won't be doing a full-on replacement fusion cannon (because believe it or not, my first instinct when I got the figure was to do precisely that, and it wouldn't be difficult to do), though, is more about the rules on Shapeways than about whether it would be possible.

    Aye, I've been looking at it, and I'm finding I like the proportions as they are, too. :D 

    Dude, with the week I'm having, you don't know how much it means to hear that! :D 

    Thanks very much. :D

    You are really talented!
    I really do like what you've done with megaton and Optimus!
    Like some other on this thread, I much prefer your upgrade kit to the ones already on the market!
