    Cant wait for Hasbro to make a Snapdragon and you to turn him into Megatron!
    You could in the meantime use Siege Megatron as BW Cybertronian Megatron with some retooling work needed since snapdragon would be a TM2 Megs

    I think you could make whatever BW Megs you want out of a Snapdragon since his beast mode is very similar to a T-Rex. A TM 2 Megs would need the most work if you want the winged dragon mode.

    I think Optimal Optimus would have been a more appropriate choice since it has a jet mode.

    What if he combines the red and purple from all 3 of his forms over the years

    That could look nice. Maybe only turn Snapdragon
    's white into red and add some brass somewhere.

    That might actually be a better idea, I say the amount of dragon influence should determine the amount of metallic red and gold though, if there is none, he should have his season 1 colors like Optimus here, or at least his Transmetal 2 colors like you seem to be in support of.

    I had this same idea years ago except mine was only a digibash and a poorly done one at that as I had only just started working with photoshop at the time.

    This is awesome, excellent work here!
    I would like to believe that hasbro will do this for the generations select line (remolded ape and robot mode heads) and include a repaint of the TR apeface also.

    Lookin very good! Is there a BW anniversary coming up? Once Snapdragon gets out he sure will pair well as a BW Megatron.

    There's always one, isn't there?

    Excellent work. The jet mode looks much better in that colour scheme.

    I like it, but my suggestion is that maybe it should have been optimal optimus since it has the jet mode

    I'd call it creative liberties. That thing that Hasbro doesn't do anymore.

    I hope there will be given how Hasbro pretty much ignored it's 20th anniversary in 2016.

    And rightfully so.

    If Hasbro or Takara do a homage of an old toy, they better damn well get it right.

    I like to think if Botcon were still a thing, this would have been made.

    Should be official. Absolutely perfect. Can't wait for Snapdragon!
