A series of original drawings depicting the Decepticon leader's head over time. I like to think it tells a story of Megatron's life, but if you'd prefer you can check out what I designed them to represent below. Spoiler From left to right: Miner - Megatron's original head, has yellow caution stripes on it like a lot of construction vehicles. Gladiator - a rudimentary helmet used for pit fighting. Lots of gaps and more caution stripes, to look as though it's made of spare parts. Poet - same as the miner helmet but with more traditional Megs colors. He's breaking away from the manual class, forming his own identity. This might be what he wears to the Senate meeting in Exodus or something. Warlord - the first helmet he wears as leader of the 'Cons, evocative of the 'Con Insignia Dead - pretty much. Damage is based on the wound Megs got in Revenge of the Fallen, mirrored. Who killed him? I might have plans for that later, so that would be telling. Galvatron - Megatron's life was restored, but at a terrible cost. He takes on the name and cisage of the ancient warlord. The damage is based on Animated Megatron during his sabbatical in Dr Sumdac's lab. He also has movie Fallen's head... fins. Reborn - Reclaiming his mind and disgusted by his form, Megatron requests a new body, leaving a small scar to remind him of his ordeal. Redeemed - My version of "Autobot Megs," based on his pre-G1 black-bucketed head.
Awesome! I love things like this. The Decepticon symbol style helmet is awesome, and the Galvatron head design as well, I love how his face isn't completely repaired.
Thanks! The Insignia Helmet is one of my favorites. It went through a couple redesigns, the first was more like a gladiator visor and a bit too straight and angular, the second was was more rounded like the pilot from Animated (the cheeks on that one made it to the Galvaltron head). I like the idea that Unicron doesn't have the power to heal, only to distort, so when Megs is reborn as Galvatron he still shows a lot of deep scarring.
