    Altering just the actual hands would be an improvement... you may not need to do the whole forearm.

    Even Armada Megs' head could pass for a more classic Megs by removing the horns and adding a bit to the helmet. You have a lot of options at this point.

    Yeah, I think an Armada Megs head would look VERY good on him.

    I think that head is a good starter for a G1 Megs (if not exactly a cartoon-accurate rendition). A while back I did a mock-up with paper on my Armada Megatron... here are a couple of pics:

    I dunno, the extra helmet bits don't really add anything. But then again, I always liked that head the best out of all Megatron versions.

    It is a good head, and evocative of how I picture Megatron. I think the extra additions would give him more of the classic "bucket head' since the Armada Megs head is way too rounded to immediately evoke "megatron" otherwise. I like how with a bit of a visor, the triangular points on the forehead of Armada Megs are just visible, recalling the similar points Megs had under his helmet on the G1 toy and cartoon.

    I'd use a Energon/Cybertron Scorponok head, remove the visor and his head is bucket helmeted goodness.

    Doomtron used the head for a megatron custom last year I think.

    A Beast Wars II Galvatron head would be perfect.

    That Scorponok head really is a good Megatron, though again, I would still want to add some form to the upper part of the head. The face is perfect though. Nice mold.

    I see a lot of Energon Scorponoks kicking around loose on Ebay...

    Another option would be Movie Dlx Wreckage. Althought it may be on the small side.

    I'd go with the modified Armada Megs head myself.
