Kinda reminds me of this: Megatron (Lobo) - Alternators - Binaltech Customs - TFW2005.COM

You'd just have to tweak the colors a bit and it'd be perfect.

That's cool, I'd never seen that before! I figured you were referring to one of the comics, not an actual toy.

Mmm.... cherry. I did think that it needed some more detailing, but wasn't sure what to do w/o wrecking the job on the paint so far.
Specifically I'm looking at his abdomen and wondering how I can
add some of the G1 circuit detail to it w/o going overboard and
wrecking the alt mode.
I might get a chance today to touch it up and see how far I get. Will post.

That's a very cool custom and it looks like it was a LOT more work than what I did. Kudos to Lobo.

I tried drybrushing but didn't like the effect it was having... I wanted more of a clean chest for Megs. Instead, I decided to bring out some details (bumper, lights) with a little black and silver. I also blacked and drybrushed silver on his thighs and feet, to "metalize" them.
