    Here is my Construct Bots G1 Galvatron.
    I really wish there was a more Galvy head, but this Meg's head is more like Galvy than the black headed Megs :) 
    Hope you guys like him:

    Looks awesome! I don't recognize some of those pieces though. Those gray pieces along his legs, above his shins -- what set are those pieces from?

    Thanks bro, I'm thinking of painting him and making him a bit more permanent, but I'm not sure. I'd really love a more G1-like head for him in Construct-bots-styling, but that may never come to pass :/

    Thanks!

    Thanks mate.

    Thanks! Those shin/knee-spikes are from the Shockwave set. He was made using parts from: 2 Megatron single sets, 1 Megatron + Prime set, feet from Thundercracker, and just some misc parts here and there. Anything You need to know, just ask, I'll try to accommodate. :)

    Update: I painted up some parts, and now he has a strong G1 toy vibe going on... :)

    Thanks. I mean making the figure not being able to come apart, while retaining his transformation and movement. The ball joints are fine, but the C-clips will become very problematic with constant transforming. So I am looking to remedy this situation.

    ah gotcha, gotcha. yeah, having it retain a more permanent look while keep the transformation is going to be difficult.... i cant even imagine the work that would go into that, lol. would probably require a whole new set of construct bots 'physics' to make it work.

    i think if i get inspired enough, i might try my hand a transforming c-bot, but for now ill take the easy route and stick with static figures, lol.

    Yeah, I might have to replace all the knee and elbow type c-clamp joints with actual figure joints. A lot of work.
