    Oh man... It would be awesome to see these things made. It's a shame that Shockwave has this huge, kick ass battleship alt mode but Megs is this tiny rolling cannon. =)

    I'm sure it will be a year or two before you'd be through them all but I wish you all the luck and support and I can't wait to watch your progress!

    This is RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING!!

    When you finish you should try and sell this to Hasbro and/or Toy Train companies. I can see this being a very big seller. Kids love trains!!!!

    And imagine if it could roll on a track once transformed....

    Well it's sorta completed, but I have to double check on some joints and make replacements as I've made revisions to the joints over time and gotta make sure that they're all consistent. This final check usually takes a lot longer than expected as somehow there is always a better way to do it.

    Hmm it looks pretty much like the larger version with some minor details blurred out due to the smaller size. Yeah I'll be kitting him, the price for the colored kit is set at US$120 not inclusive of shipping. I've yet to decide on how many I'm gonna be casting though. I'll wanna move on to Megs asap but have to see if I can recoup the money and time I've spent on this design and see if it's worthwhile to continue developing the others.

    No Problem, still gotta get my hands on one to doll up for myself(or anyone who want one painted up like I have done Arianhod Galvatron Kits, think I am on number 7 of those with another one on the way in a different color scheme:D ).

    You did a hell of a job with it and a good paint job will make the puppy worth a million bucks. Looking even more forward to the Megatron one if you decide to go through with it.
