After Months of kitbashing I finally finished my most complex work: Masterpiece Ultra Magnus!
As I wrote before, it's not the MP Magnus from Mark's projects. I just got the rockets, the head and the gun from him. Thanks for that!
I modified the head a little bit in the antenas area. I also included electronic to the figure and into the gun. Magnus can talk some sentences and has severall gun sounds - his gun also lights up then. Transformation is quite complicated and tricky, and I'm really proud that I have solved all transformation problems...

Here are some pics!

Here's a groupshot with MP Prime and my MP Soundwave:

enjoy!

Very well made

It's worthy to be called "Masterpiece"

Sweet.....sweetness! Well done Computron, this is an ambitious project, and you have pulled it off nicely!

That's nice :shock:

I love the proportions in alt mode. Good Job

it does look really nice. You should record a soundclip or two of him speaking and post it as a short .MP3

Outstanding! I'm standing up right now giving you an ovation! He's great!
I can only imagine all the time and patience it took to make this! Was worth it !
Arms are skinny and legs blocky...He's 100% G1 ...For me that's positive!

Outstanding. One of the best scratchbuilds ever.

Absolutley fantastic job! Congrats!

Very nice. Love the Soundwave, too! Can he transform as well?

by **TM Computron** » Tue Feb 27, 2007 4:17 am

sure! I don't like non transformable transformers...all my transformers can transform! pictures can be seen in the gallery. I've done it a long while ago, so you must search a bit among the pictures, but you will find it!

Awesome!

What is the trailer/armor made out of? It looks like factory made plastic!!

by **TM Computron** » Thu Mar 01, 2007 6:25 am

No, it's styrene. Most parts are scratch built from styrene. As a homage I used some G1 and RiD Ultra Magnus parts...but they were all integrated in my own self made parts and changed a bit....no factory made finished parts used...

Very bad ass my friend. It so well detailed and proportioned.

Nice!

No one's yet answered my question (asked in other threads), where does one buy styrene?

Check your local hobby store, particularly one that specializes models and model supplies. Hobbytown USA is one of the best.

So that was the Ultra Magnus you told me about. Awesome job my friend. Love the gadgets you gave Magnus. The foot you used seems very familiar, just can't place where I have seen those before.

Now *THAT* is a beautiful piece of work.

This one doesn't look like crap, fits nicely, and far better work was put into it.

This was crafted with genuine care and love for doing so.

A+ Sir, well played.

EDIT: Figured it wasn't worth the trouble of the original post.
