    Well, Megatron is done! Lots more work than I was expecting, but soooo worth it in the end.
    Colors are a mix of Tamiya and Testors sprays, with hand painting on the details.

    Looks great! Is the head from a different Megatron, or did you de-HM the one that it came with? Also, what is the piece you used to extend the cannon? It looks great, however it's driving me nuts that I can't place it! It looks very familiar...

    Nah, I'm not into lighting. Good idea, though.

    Hehehe
    The head is the stock face plate melded with the back of Universe Megatron's noggin.
    The cannon back is from movie voyager Ironhide.

    That's fantastic! I doubt you'll be replacing it with a different Classics Megatron for some time!

    Nope. THIS is now my Generations Megatron. I had wanted the Takara version of the Nerf Megatron, but not any more.

    IH's Cannon, that's it!!! Thanks, that was driving me crazy as I knew I'd seen it before! It works perfectly!

    And nice job on the head too... I assume it was the green deluxe that came out years ago with that spinny Optimus? Nice work as always my man!

    Your work here makes me wanna get this Megatron! However, I'm trying to hold out... the CW LC is still very nice and suits my needs. (To self... stay strong, stay strong...)

    I say fuck that NERF shellforming Megatron... He's had his days but it is so outdated compared to what we have now.
    THIS is an awesome way to make this mold finally work as Megatron and not an "I can't wait for Blitzwing" acquisition.
    Excellent work killing the jet altmode in order to make a greater tank altmode and also integrating his head to the transformation.
    Fusion cannon looks great too. You never disappoint Yaujta.
    Awesome work!

    Dear god what you done! ?


    Absolutely a work of art! I wanted something like this done and you have surpassed what I would love to have. That is the way this mold should have been down!

    Is there any way to sink the ball joint cause looking at it again it looks kinda weird.
    But great job I imagine it was no easy task

    Beautiful work Yautja! I think you've more or less created what the definitive CHUG Megatron should look like.

    In hand it's a lot less noticable. What I may do is add width to the 'neck' so it's a little thicker.
