    I see a pink toothbrush, behind Megs, but it looks like red, on my monitor, on the figure. Not sure why you did the front bumper/brushguard red but i can live with it. The face or helmet needs to be a different shade of gray/silver but otherwise it looks great. That does look like Megs head more than I thought it would.

    Great job.

    Uh..it's Krylon Red paint guys...no pink on Megs....that would be gay! My office is becoming a nursery, I have a little girl on the way. So, there is a lot of pink in the room, none on Megs.

    Thanks. Yeah, it took about a week all together, but I didn't clear coat him. I like the paint as is.

    reminds me of the jurassic park jeeps, I would imagine this would be the one that would go after any out of control Dinos to take them down.

    No doubt about it, you see that Jeep rolling through town, you know some butts gonna get kicked.

    Think I'd've gone with a much darker red though.

    I think it may be the flash, it's a nice rich red. I'll post the labels when they're finished.

    Yeah, I think the first picture captures the color pretty well. Somewhere along the lines of Swerve if I'm tilting my screen at the right angle.

    That megs is so freakin' awesome. I'd do the exact same thing if I could get my hands on the same head but I never even bought that fig so i'm outta luck. Superb work and I think the red is a great match. The two megs I own are that color too (G1 and Masterpiece). Only thing I'd do different is the brushguard. I think black would be cool, but I like yours too

    autobotx23,
    This is one badass motherf$$ker kitbashing right here. I like it 'cause of that huge ass gun, it looks like he can blow anything of the road and if he's not careful he might blow himself off the road as well. Nicely done hope you can be labels on it to make it unique.

    Thanks. I am thinking of tire tread decals, and some funky Decepticon logos.

    Looks more like Galvy's head, than Meg's.

    Help me design!!

    I finally found time to work on my Megatron Labels, and this is what I have so far. If anyone has any ideas, lay it on me!!

    I repainted the grill black, it looks much better than the red.

    The decals look pretty good. I especially like the "dieautobot".
    I guess your putting Megs name somewhere else on the vehicle since the license plate is where the name usually is and you have his name printed twice on your sample? That might be a little vain.
    I think the M on the doors and the big gun will tell everyone who he is.

    Edit: Should you be using the color purple. Megs didn't have much purple. People are going to think of Galvatron. Black or red. Or both.

    Nice ! Only thing I would switch around is have the "Megatron" printed horizontal instead of vertical, I'm assuming that its going along the side of the hood like Reprolabels Tantrum Jeep Alt. sticker set. :)

    The red and black does look better. I'm also working on some for Ironhide and Bumblebee. I wanted the Megatron label to go over two of the tire wells.

    Oh I like it. I had a similiar idea for doing that and mounting the cannon in back as a recoilless rifle mounted on a jeep. I like what you did with it.
