    Now the arms look a little too short. I will make them longer. I will repaint the new connector part with tamiya gun metal grey paint.

    lookin good so far, only 2 minor things.

    1. Legs are just a tad too long, could do with being shorter by about 1 inch?
    2. Too thin, they really need some extra bulking up for a gestalt.

    Great engineering, but yeah the proportions are way too off.

    That does not look good. WAY too long, he looks very strange.

    That chunk between the hips and chest needs to go.

    This is devestartor not supirion but it is a WIP so I think you could mold some bulk around the legs and shorten them up a little.

    I make the legs shorter and the arms litle longer.

    What do you think for proportions now? I will start to paint soon.

    That looks great. He could still stand to lose another inch or so but he looks really poseable. Did you just use a Classics Megatron? How'd you put it together?
