oh yeah, the reshell is also very good. The wow-factor of the bot mode kinda overshadows it. it really is a great Megatron, and a better GT-R than hasbro would have ever given us.
one more thing! It is pretty easy to lower the RSX mold by hacking off the wheels and plastic-welding them up a bit higher. It looks like you have a good bit of room to do that on yours. not trying to pimp out my Wildrider in your thread, but I thought you might enjoy seeing how low you can go with the RSX. with your reshelling skills, this shouldn't be a problem. Of course.... with your reshelling skills, you've probably already tried this and found it to not be possible.... anyways, best custom Alt I've seen in MONTHS. a dozen 1/24 scale thumbs up!
Why, just cos the G1 toy was that way? Cartoon Megs had some pretty beefy legs...besides I find robots look better with bigger legs anyway As for the cannon, I'd originally intended for it go sowhere in the back. But for it to fit anyway in the rear, I'd had to remove a good chunk of the inner leg panel, resulting it less support for the rear window/trunk area during transformation. I specifically added MORE support there so I wouldn't break it and that meant leaving no room for the cannon. I figured the stabilty was worth more. Very nice Wildrider! And actually, I like the higher stance. I thought about fixing it early on(there is a bit of room to move, but not as much as Prowl, given these wheels are wider and bigger), but in the end I think I prefer it to the Skyline's official low-riding.
Thats great work but i wouldnt have used that mold for megatron. It makes him look too stocky and his legs look too skinny.
To each his own then! After I decided on the car, to me, the Prowl mold seemd a perfect fit IMO. I assume you're talking about the upper legs looking too skinny? Cos the lower legs are most assuredly not. I do think he's slightly off in proportions tho, just like about 75% of the Transformers I own. The chest is slightly oversized, and I think the thighs are too short, but I knew what I was getting into from the beginning, and still couldn't be happier.
duh.. just posted in you wip thread... Just found out it was finished...me smart... It looks badass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gasp..........gtr is my fav car especially the R-34! Its ashame that has/tak never makes really good megatrons and its up to you guys to come through with works of art like this!
I also like my megatrons to be beefy. I mean, the movie and classics versions all have tough, herculean proportion befitting an evil warlord so I must say I love the way your megs turned out. My only qualms is that the fusion cannon is *not* big enough! I felt it could be even bigger, but yes, I'm sure you had your limitations. This custom oozes attitude, I love it! Great job!
Absolutely Kick Ass Brother!!!! Cant wait to get mine!!! Or Jazz!!!! Its up to you!!! Lethal Injection~ Either one will make a sweet addition to the Wikkid Army you've built me!!!!
