I started by removing the Megatron head (no easy task considering Hasbro have glued it together) and attaching the Galvatron head. The head fits perfectly and even fits perfectly for transformation but it is quite a bit smaller and shows more neck than Megatron. I decided it was worth it and continued. I decided very early on that he would be painted to match his G1 persona. I had another dilema when I was making him. Which canon should I use? Go for the classic look with the Universe toy turret or use WFC Megatron's BFG.
I simply loved the two canon look of him so decided to sacrifice tank mode to allow both arm canons to be used in alt mode. The Universe cannon now sits on his shoulder in alt mode (a last minute alteration) and can be locked into place or used as a swivel turret. He is still drying and I need to seal him but I doubt I will be changing any of the paint work. I will get alt mode pictures uploaded soon.
Would you mind telling what brand and color paints you used?
