The Energon Pub

Wow Mark. The proportions are perfect, the face is perfect, the transformation is totally ingenious...It's official. This is the best Megs custom EVER!

And that's from the creator of the Flak Megatron...

It just looks really awesome doesn't it! All I can say is well done (offers pat on the back) Why the hell can't toy companies put as much thought and effort into something like this which would fly off the shelves if ever made commercially??

Because although this scratchbuild is awesome, it probably wouldn't fly of the shelves.
It's just too darn expensive to produce and sell on a cost effective basis.

For example, HasTak could easily design Alternators that would put MP Convoy to shame in terms of articulation, but that would make for a far less profitable toy.

Damn you, voice of reason..! *shakes fist in air*

Second on the fist shaking!!!

...And that's probably why the Alts are all plastic...

hey thanks !!!

i agree when you guys say that hasbro would have a hard time selling theses to the general public since IT would be too expensive.... and well with my nephews i,ve learned one thing.... they dont really care about quality anymore more then quatity... that really sad...
thank god we have great kitbashers out there to make what we REALLY want and offer them to the rest ...even if it,s expensive.... i believes it keeps the interest alive for us g1 lovers to the toys....
because i must admit if there was nothing (g1 or alternators) going on i might have left the transformer scene.... but hey thank goodness for you guys

as for the megatron himself i really dont have time to finish it... and it,s killing me to see it almost complete.... but as soon as it,s done or theres some progress i,ll show it to you guys promise !!!

No more Updates for Megatron??????????

well nothing yet.... i have 10 mp-02 trailers that need my immediate attention and that i need to deliver soon and also i,m moving in a bout 1 1/2 months so there wont be much updates for that time.... after that i,ll finish him and show you guys the final product !!!

mark

nope still have allot of work to do on it (silencer, arm rest, energon mace, laserbeak, ect.....) and also some improvements on the gun mode that i want to apply.....

how do you decide something is 87% complete???

well you calculate how much you want to do and how much is done and painted .... that simple and it also allows people to see if there is actual progress before comming to this thread

Dude, been awhile. Glad to see your ok.

As for him, he's still awesome and all but kinda pointless now with the news of MP megatron comming out.

Still, looks good man. Keep in touch and show us more WIP's.

TFM (BTW, TT is closing and moving to seibertron.com just in case you didn't know)

it,s not pointless....what would be pointless is not finishing what you start.... even if it takes time to finish it....

as for going to sybertron, no i did'nt know ...and it kind of suck because there is not much action there......

anyways see you there !!!

1. good to see ya back sir.

2. good to see you are still workin on megs

3. when the hell did they finally say they are working on mp megs?!?!?!?!?

i think yours might still have one up on the takara one if it is only the size of starscream

Well I meant pointless to sell them.Not pointless to finnish. Don't get me wrong..I love it. I always have. No offence meant.

Just that the 100$ price tag for a Takara based one will be more tempting to buyers.

Anyhoo, I think it looks great and I hope to keep seing you kick out projects but try and keep in touch man. We miss you here.

I guess that depends on what MP-Megs turns into. If it's a tank, then the other side of the fandom will still be quite interested in this guy--and there may be a handful of them willing to pay whatever he's worth.

In any case, this really is a great kitbash. I'll be waiting for updated pics.

According to a report on Seiberton.com, the new MP-05 Megatron will be a gun.

TNI has a post up that its going to be a over sized version of the original.. and stand as tall as prime.. BUT that is now. they are saying a spring 2007 release date.. but all that can change...

your absolutly right for the price tag.... i might cancel the production of my mp-xx megatron if my clients decide that they want to wait until the mp-05 comes out to compare....

dont worry i,m not offended at all by what you said.... but i love the way it,s going and i think that if i dont do it for myself and do it for the money well ...it,s not worth doing at all !!! passion comes first all the time !!!
