    You know, back in 2008 I was looking closely at movie-verse Megatron and I thought to myself, "You know, Movie Megatron vaguely resembles the Liege Maximo." Well, in the Radicons, "vaguely" is close enough so I decided to go for it. Mind you, two years flew by before I decided to buckle down and customize the guy but here he is.

    Yes, I know the paint is kinda sloppy but I'm going to leave it as is. Why? Because I feel like the gray and silvery bits showing through adds a metallic look and gives off a sort of feeling of age, fitting for a member of the Thirteen.

    Is Liege Maximo from the G2 comic, or the UK comic? I've been trying like mad to get all the Omnibusii, but my memory is fuzzy... But from what I do remember, that is pretty darn close to what he looked like.

    Wow, it DOES look like him.....but I feel the head looks kind of silly. The original Movie Megs face, I mean. The ROTF head better resembles Maximo in my opinion.

    Still, great job.

    Thanks for the comments everyone.

    He's from the G2 comic.

    ROTF Deluxe Megatron is already green to start with. Still, I think a jet alt mode suits Maximo better than a tank alt mode does.

    And to think, I was convinced that I was the only guy who saw it. :thumbs2:
