    thanks, i'm hoping people like it mainly cause i'ld like to sell it and make enough to cover the cost of this one so i can start another one, i'm kinda thinking about using a pcc to make an energon optimus to go along with him( have that pretty well planned out)well that or i have a laundry list of stuff that i want to try to do myself, so i don't have to go to the pros i use for more interesting stuff

    just a thought but could you cut off the piece so that the turret can rotate and then put a legends class chest/head on there? that would allow the tank to fold the cannon under the arm just like Armada Megatron.

    Not really with the legends warpath, it would be alot trickier than that because of how the turrent already rotates down and because there is a handle in the bottom of the tank mode so it actually can't really sit normally as a tank.

    That's worked really nicely! Glad you managed to find a Sparkcrusher to use; I definitely think it's the right mould for the job. Out of curiosity, have you managed to rig a way to mount said tank drone on Megs' jet mode?
    Looking forward to the painted version either way. Are you going for the grey (E. Megs/G1 toy Galvy) or the blue/purple (E. Galvatron/G1 toon)? If there's vote, I'm going grey, even though most people probably won't. :p

    The tank drone(terrorcon) is mounted using a 5mm peg handle and an adjusted size whole in the wing pannel
    I haven't picked the color pattern yet, E. Megs would probably be easier if i went the paint route. E. galvatron would be easier cause i could probably do it with a quick dye job so, maybe i'll make i a pole question,I'll have to think about that. While i'm thinking about it i loved your new designs i still need to make sure to pick those up and do some more reviews and designs.

    This is rather a stroke of genius! If I was more of a Superlink fan I'd be itching to replicate :)
