    A few tweaks for tge Core Class Megatron:

    -Red inner legs & biceps
    -Silver legs & shoulders
    --Filled handgun gaps and painted silver & black
    -Extedended Fusion cannon
    -Snipped shoulder pieces down to be more like the G1 "trigger pieces)
    - Put metal tubes inside back treads to make optional shoulder cannons.

    The "reversed barrel" mode's barrel is still a little short for my liking, but making it any longer made it too long in robot mode. 72022FF7-58C0-43C8-ACE9-AB0176288F88.jpeg 163C12CD-1F89-46C8-A0EE-CD0F02CF5A5D.jpeg

    Well I'll be damned, never thought about that! That changes it wuite a bit in both modes. May have to use one of Bumblebee's and paint it black (gun is too big for Bee anyway) and make it a 3mm peg to store on Meg's back. Thanks! :thumb

    Except for the fact that you have to remove the peg on bottom.

    This is awesome and now I wish I had one. Any plans to do the G1 Toy loop pattern things on the chest?

    I was inspired to do a similar mod to my Megs. I didn't extend the Fusion Cannon or add the red to the legs. 20211121_114523.jpg
