As an added bonus, this 3D-printed gargantuan has a built-in practical function of also serving as a bookshelf.

I do love how unintentionally versatile Megabolt continues to be. The newest one in particular, seems very apt in light of the original scale of the Grand Mal.

Mmm, its redecos are. The first release isn't quite there, color-wise. Namely the blue squares and silver circles on its torso and hips are inverted from how they were light gray squares with blue/dark gray circles onscreen. Two of Cell's redecos got that right.-Kanrabat- wrote:and it the most screen accurate to date.

Now we have so many we can complain about the biggest one, but back then there was a decades long gap and there wasn't screen accurate anything of anybody. Even BW characters weren't always screen accurate.
I think people woulda loved it. Provided it got the right hype of course. I remember thinking Armada Unicron was amazing and very G1. Compared to our standards now it really isn't, but at the time it hit the mark.
