    Hey mates, when I saw PredaconTheKing's awesome Megastorm custom (see here: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/1047701-generations-megastrom-wip.html ) I had to make one! So Thanks for the inspiration mate!
    But this one is not Megastorm, but rather an amalgam of Megatron's from different series.
    Comprised of G1(head), Machine Wars(paint scheme), RotF(flying tank altmode), and DotM(the shotgun :)  )
    I present to you Legacy Megatron:
    enjoy:

    Gotta admit this is a cool idea. Thinking of doing a Legacy Optimus custom as well?

    So is this like the case in which a certain Megatron toy was a ROTF-based mold released on a card with DOTM Megatron on it in the AOE toyline?

    Coooooooool.

    HOLY good gracious. This is like a million times better than the original Tankor release. I would buy the HELL out of that.

    Very very clever idea. i might grab one and do this mod as well. I may spray everything clear flat color to give it a more tactical look.

    Gotta say, that is a brillant idea! An amalgamation of different Megatrons!
    I really like how this work to the RotF Megatrons favor in vehicle mode!
    Awesome job Stormvapor!

    Thanks bro! I have thought about it, but Optimus does not lend himself well for the concept. This is mainly because he is practically always a truck and on the rare occasion a car, or the one time a train. Megatron on the other hand has been a gun, tank, jet, helicopter, cannon, or some combination there of, so he is perfect for such a project. Even his colour scheme has been from silver to black with many colours in between, whereas Prime is generally red and blue. So I would like to do one, but it will take some creative thinking.

    Thanks!

    Thanks mate.
    Something like that :)  thanks.

    :) 

    thanks

    :)  read my first reply further up, as it applies to BB as well.

    Thank you.

    ol...thanks! Yeah, for me the BM Scout sized (though unfortunate size for him), is the nigh-perfect Tankor.

    Thanks!

    you should! He is only glossy, because is a custom metallic blue I mixed fer him :) 

    Hey thanks bro, but the credit really goes to you for the inspiration, so thank you!

    Thank you mate!

    Yeah, with that comment about the whole thing I see how that would work.

    This is very very VERY cool dude. The concept is really neat and I wish I could buy it. I love the legacy idea; you should do more of these!

    Maybe a Legacy Jazz next? (skateboard, nuchuks, silver paint job w/ the #4, etc.)
