    This custom looks stunning! What kind of upgrades and mods did you get this guy? I'm tempted to check out the ER mold and try them myself! :D

    Its the Earthrise mold but using the Siege crotch, I took his backpack pin out to make it "partsformable", the hands are kfc hands for mp lambos (had to cut the stock hands then insert small pins to work as the mushrom posts for the mp hands), the skirt armor came from cybertron Soundwave (just unscrew them from SW and then drill ports on Megs), the back cannon was from t30 Blitzwing (glued a rectangle so it can plug into the stock holes on Megs back), other than that I painted his shins and insides of his legs. Took me weeks but its by far my favorite Megs :D

    I'm happy I made you do that, because that's an overall amazing Megatron custom. :thumb 

    While your back cannon works perfectly, it reminds me that I should eventually publish one I did a couple of years ago for Siege and Earthrise Megs

    I do not have a 3D printer. Is there any chance you could print out a G1 Megatron head and I could pay you via Paypal?

    That's looking awesome! Love your work. Can the face slide a little higher into the head?

    Sorry. I'd love to help, but I just don't have the time currently. Perhaps I may have time over Christmas, but I just don't know at this stage

    It doesn't go in any higher than that because my print came out a little wonky, but once I finish painting and get that gap filled with black, it should hide nicely

    Here's the current stage of paint. The silver of the helmet needs a few more layers to finish filling in the 3d print lines and cover the edges. The black around the eyes and mouth needs a bit of cleaning up, and I need to find a nice flat gray for his face
