Humvee Megatron --- take that, Hegemon!

vidmouse · 07-19-2012, 03:44 PM

I too have been wowed by the Hegemon product... I just wish I could really afford it!

Until then, I settled for redoing my "Dawn of War" Megatron, giving him a cleaner paint job and smaller, more subtle Decepticon symbol. Also changed out his fusion cannon for a longer one, using some GI Joe spring loaded accessory parts.

Nicely done bud!... What's that Prime?

I really like this. The head detailing could be a little cleaner, but the vision and overall paint strategy are fantastic.

Those who can't, dont. Those who can, Radicon. Excellent work, and use of the crossover mold!

I'm pretty meh on the generic-looking head, but I love the concept.

Stormvapor · 07-19-2012, 04:21 PM

Brilliant! Freaking Brilliant! Its like a retired Megs... very sweet work mate. This is very inspiring for me

stprime · 07-19-2012, 04:21 PM

Ohhhhhhhh I want to do this!

Does that canon/gun come with that mold?

The_Tracker · 07-19-2012, 04:57 PM

I still have an untouched Ironman hummer and a couple of Megatron heads laying around, might give this a whirl... That Prime looks to use the Grapple/Inferno mold to me. Great job on both bots!

Prime is a custom made from a Solar Storm Grappel. I did it awhile
back and recently put a Kreo Prime head on him.

Thanks! The head came from Energon Stormjet... it fit the space I had, and didn't feel like tearing up my classics Megs to get a head. I see what you mean but I think it works, as it's squarish like his alt mode.

No, the cannon is a spring-loaded weapon from a GI Joe Rise of Cobra figure
(with a little added length from a 2nd spring loaded weapon). Heavy Duty, I think.

This mold (Crossovers Iron Man Humvee) did come with a fairly sweet gun but it didn't scream "fusion cannon to me" so I ditched it and used it on another project.
