ROTF Voyager Megatron's arms were a disappointment, so i fixed them. The Left Arm: His main cannon arm wasn't too bad- it just needed a hand. So i used Movie 2007 Deluxe Landmine's hand. You'll need to sand down the ball joint for it to slide into his cannon arm smoothly, but once it's in there: it's solid. Just remove it for transformation and set it off to the side. The Right Arm: The right was a bigger mess and trickier to fix. The missile launcher gimmick was a bore, so i removed it. For a replacement forearm and hand, i used a mechtech plasma gun i had lying around, along with a torso part from Movie 2007 Landmine, a forearm part from Movie 2007 Landmine, and a hand from DOTM Voyager ironhide. His new arm allows for much more dynamic poses, and it also folds up for a secondary plasma gun mode. Tank Mode: He's still transformable with the arm mods, but by removing the missile launcher gimmick i also removed his tank's main cannon- so i simply replaced it with a mechtech weapon. i like to imagine in robot mode that it folds up into his body somewhere, so i just remove it & place it off to the side when shifting to robot mode. Enjoy. ^_^
New Tank Mode With his new arm, his tank's primary cannon has more movement now- so it can be pointed in any direction. ^_^
It doesn't look bad. But a fisted right hand doesn't really fit him also I liked the original claw/canon arm
Thanks! ^_^ i used to own Leader Class ROTF Megatron, and as awesome as he seemed before i got him, i was actually disappointed once i played with him a bit. Paint job and size are all LC ROTF Megatron had going for him- everything else sucked. i think, if you want a posable, dynamic-looking movie Megatron, the voyager is really what you need- it's beautiful. it looks fantastic on display, plus it matches up really well with all the other figures. i've started sticking primarily to voyagers and deluxes these days, because the size makes more sense and they have more customization applications. i highly encourage you to pick this guy up- he's one of the coolest Megatrons i've ever owned. ^_^
The Mod Makes Him Limb-swappable. What's nice about the mod is that it's ball joint-based, so it's possible to swap out other forearms and hands if i like. Really, when you look at ROTF Megatron's persona, he's a TF Frankenstein- he's a mashup of dead Decepticon parts- and having a mod with limb-swapping capability is pretty close to that idea. if i ever find a more monster-like hand i'll probably pop it on. ^_^
