I'm thinking this will be my "learn how to paint" figure. I'll probably give him G1 colors. But I'm curious to know what minor mods I can add to him. All I see on the radicons gallery are repaints. Have any of you used it for anything other than a straight repaint?
Some people have given him new arms but beyond that I struggle to think of other mods done to this guy.
IIRC, a lot of people replaced the arms with the Prime's arms from the same two pack (to be fair, no one likes that Prime anyways ). Oh, and i've seen some people add drills to him to make Nosecone, but i don't think you'd want to do that.
Well, you did ask for minor mods... I suppose the one thing that would be easiest for you to do is go out and find a tank model kit, any kit you happen to like, and just glue bits from the model kit onto Megs. You don't need to attempt a reshell, not even close to that, but just add some parts to make it slightly different to Megatron. And cutting through a model kit can be done with any basic set of hobby cutter/flush cutters/whatever they're called. Also, if you can, track down Tamiya's Weathering kits (they're listed A,B,C,D & E). They're great for making tanks look like...well, real tanks, and will come in useful later on for other battle damaged customs as well.
