Hearts of Steel: Megatron

Category: Heavy Mods | Views: 9,026 | Replies: 106
Hey everybody! This is my next project and possible BotCon entry. A scratchbuilt HOS: Megatron based on Guido's concept drawing.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13.../megatron3.jpg

Here's a few WIP pics since I started him.

The first thing I did was make the torso. I scaled all the dimmensions off of Guido's drawing with the intention of using 3" PVC pipe for the large wheels. When all said and done, he's going to stand about 8.5" tall (about the same height as G2 Megs). The hip and shoulder joints are from Lego Knights.

The next bit was to add stomach detail and the upper legs. The head is just one I made to get the size and shape figured out. The sculpt on it is not that great.

And the leg articulation.

The next bit was to build the lower legs.

The knees are bigger than what the drawing shows, but in order to have it look normal in Alt mode I opted for the larger knees.

And Alt mode up to this point.

This is the last bit of work I got finished.

Added the feet and the hip guards. Also beefed up the thighs and added detail.

The feet are segmented and can move. You can see it in the right foot.

And how the feet transform. The toes slide into the foot and it will pin onto the back of the thighs in alt mode.

As of this weekend I had a little more than 100 Man-hours into him over the last 3 weeks.

Wow, great work. Looking forward to the finished project. Keep the progress pics coming.
