    Having Beast Wars back in a current toy line sure makes it easier / afforable to do Shattered Glass style paint jobs.

    Megatron's color scheme is based off Optimus Primal, while Cheetor's is from the SDSG comic and the unused deco for Tigatron.

    Dammit, the *only* reason I want the Kingdom toys is because I was planning on doing exactly this - SG Beast Wars - and you beat me to it because we still haven't even got wave frigging 3 of Earthrise up here yet.

    Wow. Out of curiosity, how does Megatron’s rubbery skin hold paint? Is it horrible, or surprisingly mediocre, or amazing?

    You should check your local Walmarts, Kingdom Deluxes and Voyager have shown up this past week in Walmarts in Ontario :) 

    Amazing job as usual Grimlockimus

    Megatron looks amazing in Primal colors, and now I'm curious how Purple Monkey (Dishwasher) would look.

    @Grimlockimus, I'm assuming you had to take the rubber skin off Megaton to get him apart, right?

    Any tips on how to get those rubber pegs in and out without damaging either the skin or the frame?

    Absolutely amazing job, but I have to ask how painting Megatron’s rubber went. I know painting rubber doesn’t always work well and was hesitant of attempting any customs from the mold myself for this very reason.

    I (or my son) check the local stores every two or three days - they've all been almost bare of anything but Cyberverse crap.

    These look wonderful, especially that Cheetor. I love what you did with the cheetah tear lines, the transition into ‘angry eyebrows’ adds a lot of personality.

    Always have liked the SG BW Megatron design. Cheetor’s paint work is really impressive. Both of these look great!
