From the madman responsible of the fearful abobination that is APETIMUS SUPREME come something that will rivalise the blitzwingy ape:

FIVESHOT MEGATRON

They called me crazy for atempting such a thing. I said, "challenge accepted" and went to work. The goal was to make a Megatron that could change in all of his previous main modes. By "main modes" I mean a mode that came often in many universe.

This Megatron have suffered a cruel defeat. They left him for dead. How thoughless of them! Megs was left in one of the biggest scrapyard of the galaxy. With the little life he had left, he have rebuilt himself a new and powerful body. A body made out of junk. Megatron came out of this even stronger than before! He was tempted to rename himself "Galvatron" but he'll wait for this when he'll have a shiny new paintjob.

So, here's the thing in all his unpainted glory.

(Each modes will have it's own post for easy quoting).

SPACEHIP MODE

A broken Purple Animated Lugnut bought to a thrift store inspired me to get started. Unfortunately, I made a stupid mistake with it and I had to start over. Fortunately, I had a second Atomic Aimated Lugnut that I was keeping mint in box. His sacrefice was not in vain. I'm also using that big pile of junk that I bought recently from rockman_fan. (Thanks again, dude!)

So the main body being a plane, the spaceship mode is the main vehicle mode.








And that was his first mode.

I had these Geter Robo legs from a long time that I had in a random Ebay lot. They are finally put to good use. These legs are TRIPLE CHANGING! So naturally, come the...

TANK MODE








And that was the tank mode.

DRAGON MODE

Megatron NEED his dragon mode.I had to hunt down the perfect rubber dino/dragon head. It had to be the right size and made out of hollow rubber. After hunting in numerous dollar and thrift stores with no luck, I had to rely on a 10$ Animal Planet's Two-Headed Dragon from TrU.
I planned to make the dragon two legged with arms and a tail, but I miscalculated that the beast legs were so damn big. So I ended up with a four legged dragon with no tail instead. Still, I'm pretty satisfied how it turned out.








And that was the dragon mode.

GUN MODE
(Or herp derp mode)

This is megatron. Megatron was a gun for a long time and he need to get back to his roots.
Haters gonna hate.







And that was the (sigh) gun mode.

Stay alive for the glorious

ROBOT MODE!

And that was the FINAL FORM, meaning the robot mode.

I bought for 7$ shipped a junk "ultimate battle" G2 style deluxe Megatron to fuse him with a deluxe movie Brawl at first. I ended up using only his head for something more crazy. By the way, the automorph feature still work. I made sure of that. His only real fault is his Armada level of posability.

Next step will be to paint him. I paln silver, gun metal, and metalling red.

So, what do y'all think?

For the reccord, here's what I used to buil that baroque Transformers.

The only ones I "murdered", meaning used them brand new:
--Animated Atomic Lugnut
--Animal Planet's Two Headed Dragon.

The rest were already dead and in peices. I dug up their graves and used their parts. They were:
-- Getter Robo (Samurai whatever)
-- 2007 Voyager Starscream
-- Ultimate Battle Megatron
-- Some yellow truck guy
-- 2007 classic Camaro Bumblebee
-- RtS Mindset
-- Animated Shockwave
-- Animated Lugnut (normal purple one)
-- Generations Cybertronian Soundwave
-- Classic Starscream

Hear that? It's a of their souls, crying out in pain.

I posted my pictures on 4chan /toy/ and the comments are unkind, of course. Dont were they expecting some "real looking" modes? anyway, one anon made a sarcastic post:

Decepticon Scrapotron
Function: Stuntman
Motto: "Hit me more!"

Built out of spare parts by the Constructions, Scrapotron's unique role in the Decepticon heirarchy is as a body double for their nefarious schemes. Whenever a superweapon needs testing, a garbage-shredder needs unclogging, or Megatron just feels like crushing some heads, Scrapotron is there to fill in. Scrapotron is able to transform into a variety of modes to fill in for any role, however they all share his cobbled-together characteristics and as a result the junkheap Decepticon can never be counted on in a fight. Scrapotron knows of his inferiority all too well, but delights in the pain he suffers due to crossed neuro-circuitry. This desire to be hurt is so intense that Scrapotron is know to charge directly into the firing line with no care at all for his own life. And besides, he can always be put back together.

Well, dear anon, I take this as a commition! The challenge will be to make something deluxe size for once.

Excellent, yet another krazy kustom kreation koming from the reknowned kitbasher Kanrabat !

I can't wait to see the finished product.

Needs more bick.

You sir, are amazing at this.

Thanks a lot!

All I need now is to paint Fiveshot Megatron, king of the scrapyard!

You're just getting better and better at this, aren't you?

Hasbro can barely make a decent triple changer, and here you are, customizing a quintuple changer!

The only thing I have a problem with are the beast-mode heads. I'd personally prefer it if the heads were more mechanical-looking, like the G1 and FOC Dinobots. IMO, it would blend in better with the rest of the fig.

Otherwise, it's pure, undiluted awesome sauce!

BTW, don't listen to what the 4channers say; if they can't come up with something better, then they should just shut their trap.

Thanks!
The Anons are too used to Jin's customs. And even then, they usually HATE him for random and mind-boggling reasons. As if he personnally mugged their grandma by blugeoning her with a bag full of kittens.

Anyway, yeah, that dragon head should have beed mechanical looking. I had to make do with what I could find. I had to pay 10$ for a brand new rubber dragon toy. Luckily, it was a two-headed dragon because I messed-up the first head. I could glue-in some mechanical looking details on it. Still, once painted a nice metalic color, it will look less organic for sure.

By the way, I finally received my RID Megatron and that thing is just GLORIOUS. I consider it a quad-changer with bonus fan modes. Robot, Organic Spaceship, Batmobile, and Two-Headed Dragon.

I bet with some creativity, I could pull off a sixth mode for my Fiveshot Megs. Even though his Gun Mode is more like a fan mode than anything. He's onestly a quad-changer too. Still, I love to call him "FIVESHOT" Megatron. In two weeks, I'm getting paid and I will buy the paint for him and his custom brothers.

Humm.... Yeah, I'm ashamed to bump this topic, but It's just to bring some closure. 5 years later, I considered that 5shot Megs to be a complete failure and it went back into the junk pile. Never to be painted, never to be loved. Oh well, we can't succeed every times.

If you want closure ... I can lock the thread. It's what we normally do when people resurrect old topics for posts that don't really do much.

Forgot to ask exactly about that.
To seal away the thing... FOREVER.
