M<0><0<DSWIM Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) After seeing Bricked One's G1 Optimus (which is awesome!) on the front page, I remembered that I built a Transformer a few months ago: Megatron (Custom Version): I mostly build Star Wars mocs (as most of you over in the SW forum know), but, ocassionally, I build in other themes. I wanted to capture the look of the classic G1 Megatron (the series I grew up with) but also combining a bit of Bay's look as well as the War for Cybertron Meggy to give him a futuristic/Cybertronian alt mode.

gcanik Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Pretty dang cool and you definitly captured that 80s look to Megatron, and the fact that it transforms is a double dang! Quote

martyboy70 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Reminds me of War Within Megatron rather than the movie one: http://tformers.com/transformers_database/titanium/96/megatron_-_war_within_Decepticons_6-Inch.html Really good work. Quote

I'd say it's closer to the War For Cybertron figure. Quote

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 My son goes mad seeing this incredible creation! This MOC is superb! Very impressive realization, it seems difficult to build ...great skills! Quote
Ceroknight Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 That is very well built MOOD! Love the transformation! Quote

Very impressive realization, it seems difficult to build ...great skills! Thanks! I'm glad your son likes this. Maybe he'll be inspired to build his own? This WAS difficult to build, which is why I studied ALOT of different photos of various Megatron toys. On 10/16/2011 at 7:37 PM, ceroknight said: That is very well built MOOD!

bricked one Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Awesome! This is definitely on of the coolest megatrons I've ever seen, great job on the transformation too, very clever. Quote
Si-MOCs Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Awesome! The transforming action is awesome. and his head in particular is very nicely shaped! great work! :thumbup: Quote
Cutty Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Amazing accomplishment there! I hardly ever saw a transforming Megatron MOC that was this detailed and had such a cool alt-mode. In fact, from all versions of his alt-mode, ranging from mass-losing firearms over tanks to alien jets, THIS one actually is one of the coolest ever! That mobile turret with the BFG! on top really looks distinctively intimidating. Now do a G1 Starscream and put him in front of this baby's nozzle! Would love to see that ^^ Be well! Cutty Quote

Cutty Thanks, man! I think your's is probably one of the nicest comments I've gotten about this build because I really struggled to combine several different robot and alt modes to create a seriously badass look. Thanks! Oh, and I definately plan on building Starscream at some point, too. On 10/20/2011 at 12:10 AM, bricked one said: Awesome!

Legostein Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Hello! An impressive transformation! Besides that, I like the faceial expression you created with the slopes and wedges. He has a very menacing look. Cheers, ~ Christopher Quote
