    like most i love ROTF Megatron but dispised his left arm, I had some great claw parts from a spiderman 3 doctor octopus, so I chopped them up and began alot of fine cutting and glueing. his left arm is bulked up from old mcfarlane bots, and his right arm is getting fingers, transforming axe thing from large predator blades and I made the missile fire much farther by pulling the spring with pliers. hail megatron :p

    thankie. each arm will have 6 fingers, 3 large, 3 small. the murder arm will have a thumb, the gimp arm will not.

    Im gonna get you guys to help me decide on adding kibble for the tank mode since his axe/shield/piece of crap is gone.

    I'll peel the flesh from your very bones!

    I got his claw arm done (hardly the gimp arm anymore) and Im working on his axe/spike thingers next, they will be on ball joints to fold backward on the murder arm.

    I'm gonna do my very best to paint this guy he has super great detail, any tips on painting small crevices?

    plz let me know what you think!

    ive had this guy in a shoe box since before i got stumped on more inspirational projects buuuuuut. I got some more finally done and he would almost be done if I didn't wanna do a toe mod and I had more paint experience. but he'll get there.

    his murder arm has lego technic parts some ball joints and some mcfarlane predator claws. I also smoothed out his jaw line and added some thin extra.. head spikes that make his head a tad more accurate.

    Looks very cool mate - I did something very similiar in '09 (see my sales thread) - but you've taken it a step further :)
