    Hi, ive been playing around with this one for a week or so. Originally I was going to make transmetal Megatron, but as i was working with parts from armada Predacon and animated grimlock, I figured I would stick with the less painted route.

    I will be adding the essentials including turbines and roller skates, but will be looking for some input because the turbines were all ready repurposed from armada Predacon prior to this bash.

    Let me know what you think. Thanks

    I'm amazed by how well the two aesthetics mesh together!

    Thanks! It took a bit of work to get them together.

    I think I'll only be able to have roller blades in either the robot or the dino mode, unfortunately not both.
    Any thoughts on witch one I should go with.

    Thanks

    Thanks guys. Quick update. I added a wrist gimmick where the tail attaches directly to his wrist rather than being hand held. His hand pops back in via the same ball socket.

    I've worked the roller blades into robot mode, and the turbines. I had to take a little creative liberty with the turbines in beast mode, which I'll show at a later time.

    I still have to slightly improve the rex head mount and fill in some gaps. Maybe add a magnet on the tail.

    Thanks for looking.

    *Final update before paint.

    Hey everyone. I still have some fine tuning to do, but this is pretty well ready to get painted. I'm going to take my time and try to do Predacon justice.

    I designed his kibble to semi form a jet back. No matter what at this point there will be some extra girth on the back. Bit the toy always had that any way. I have 2 slightly different ways to put it together.

    Let me know what you think!

    Looks amazing, I really like the build and little details like the markings on his turbines.
