Description UPDATED: new shots of robot mode with the shoulders transformed right.

I did my best to get the truck mode as close as I could to the few reference pics I had, adding bunched up cords, painted on hood net, chains, a new paint job, and lots of weathering and rust.
For robot mode I stuck to his usual color scheme as much as possible.
I really hope his look in DOTM is consistent with the last 2 films rather than him having a lot of dull green showing in robot mode. The only thing about movie Megatron that looks like Megatron is that he is silver with a big gun!
He has the damaged face and rust from his previous defeats. Poor guy probably won't make it out of the next movie alive.

Love the used and abused look this has. Wish more Transformers were given the weathering level your's receive.

Question: how long has this guy been out? I've seen pics of him (the paint Hasbro gave it looks pretty half-assed especially compared to your masterpiece), but I'm just curious to know as I want to pick one up and repaint it myself.

I don't think the toy comes out for at least 3 more months.

I considered it, but it seems like it would be something you'd have to mess with a lot when posing. The existing cape does the job great for both modes with very little hassle.

i feel so bad for megatron.. hes gotten his ass handed to him in the last 2 movies.. no wonder he hides his face under the cloak of shame.

but wonderful job man! this figure, shockwave, and the dreads are the only figures i would pay stolen chinese ebay prices for.

Unicron9 In reply to blackout501st [2011-03-05 18:47:19 +0000 UTC]

I paid about $60 for him. Sure wouldn't pay the $100+ for Shockwave though!

jeez! 100 for shocky?! thats ridiculous. i would pay 60 for him. when i checked the other day the dreads were still 50 a peace. the highest i would pay for a deluxe is 30.

LoneArt8100 [2011-03-05 13:29:17 +0000 UTC]

What I don't get is why is he changing his alt mode again, I mean they had an explanation in the last film (he was rebuilt). But he also had a giant cannon on him, why give that up for this mode?

I havent seen DOTM yet but with no allspark and limited Cybertronian tech, I'm guessing he is just in bad shape and needed a new disguise. This one lets him face Optimus on his own ground too. Although the normal truck mode has no huge gun, I bet his mech-tech weaponry more than makes up for it in the movie.

man that looks really nice, love the details in altmode, the botmode is a bit too silver for me this time, but maybe you're right and they stuck on this sheme, very well done mate
