    I think this is not what most of you expected to see, but this is my own Version DOTM Leader Megatron. I wanted a military Style Truck, so i decided to repaint Sentinel, give him a new Head, hands, Hobo-Shotgun and that's it! I hav eto say this project never happend without Fakebusker83! He accepted my Comissions of Sentinel Prime Hands (which finally turned into Optimus and Premium hands AWESOME!!!) and an secret Evil Version: Aviable after Fakebusker started to give them their kickoff on shapeways!)

    Please leave a comment, this would make me VERY happy!

    Used Parts:

    Voyager ROTF Megatron (Head)
    Deluxe DOTM Lazerbeak
    Leader DOTM Sentinel Prime
    Mechanical Chain Basement Accesoires
    DOTM Evil Claw Hands designed by Fakebusker83

    Fakebusker83:

    YOU ARE AWESOME!!!

    Interesting concept, the rust effect across the figure is phenomenal. Good job!

    I'm leaving this comment to make you VERY happy.
    Nice paint job and he looks cool, but my brain isn't allowing me to just see him as Megatron because I'm used to that distinguished body design as Sentinel.
    Maybe if it was supposed to look that way because Igor attached Megatron's head to Sentinel's body on the ship when the military was about to dump the bodies into the ocean... I'm feeling like it just needs a back story, because calling him DOTM megs isn't really clicking for me.
    Not that it isn't excellent work though, cus it is. Love those hands. I'd like just one in Voyager size for my own DOTM Megatron. :)

    The hard work paid off, didn't it? Megatron looks so much healthier and menacing rather than the battle-worn old junker we saw in the movie.

    So glad the hands worked out well for you :)  Too bad I didn't managed to create the spindly left hand design accurate to the film and I apologise for that.

    Again, Igor is awesome. All he needs is a net for Megatron to drag him around...

    A Net for Igor? Was it in the Film?

    And Yes, the Hands are AWESOME (in a few minutes you'll See another Set in Action)

    A GIMP hand? Okay would Be cool, but Problems here.

    Also its possible to create a mixup out of Evil and good (Leader crankcase? ;-))

    Aarrgh...sorry I remembered wrong...it's a chain leash! I think the netty things he's dragging might be hatchlings...

    Yeah...I realised there would be problems with the gimp hand...The hands of the first movie leader Meg might work though. Nevertheless good work on this rendition :) 

    I hit upon the idea of converting leader IH into the dreads in this thread. Still mulling over the execution though, especially if I want to be really accurate to the alt mode.
