    Yep, insanely cool Megatron design. Not a fan of the axes(?) and the face, but everything else is brilliant.

    Love this design.

    I always thought they were wings or kibble just meant to look cool, but looking at them... yeah, I guess they could be axes too.

    I like that the axes look like they form a dozer blade.

    Mining size Dozer Megatron that becomes a cybertronian superheavy self-propelled gun? YES.

    Not bad, but the kibble looks a bit weird.

    I like it but the axes seem random. It would look much better without them. I wish movie Megs had this look in 2007.

    Their his wings. No, I'm serious, As a man who loves wings... Those are wings.

    You can tell because of how they curve downwards and how on the top they are thicker like the bones inside wings. They may have been their for looks, But them some wings.

    The wings as axes is a cool idea to be sure. Not a fan of his face. Maybe its the pointy chin. You have to have a good chin, but everything else is groovy.

    Bleh. The face is ugly, the arms are too long, and it's too spikey overall. The wings could look better, and the chest is a little too segmented for my tastes.

    I can tell that there are elements of Prime Megatron thrown in there which is pretty neat and at the same time the design it's own thing. :thumb

    It's TF: Prime Megatron as a tank. Prefer that to flying ship thing.
