This really scared me.
I challenge myself in my rebuilds by limiting myself to parts that came with the set.
Now, this Megatron is scrawny with long limbs like Slenderman.
Is it possible to build a bulky, G1-looking Megatron from this set?
As an added challenge, this Megatron should scale and match the Kreo Optimus rebuild.

And so, here's what I got.








No truck kibble anywhere, with the exception of a single wheel which I used to bulk up the fusion cannon.






Speaking of the fusion cannon, it can be attached on either forearm.









The only weakness is that the ball joints can't seem to support the whole robot.



Megatron is still scary, though...




Evenly-matched!









The left-over parts...


Let me know what you think, guys!

Nice work, I really like the canon. It's too bad about the ball joint issues.

Eh, it's a little skinny, but I can get past it. Like I said in your Optimus Prime thread, it's a definite improvement to the original. Personally, they should've made Megatron to transform into a tank, not a truck.

I understand.
The skinniness comes from those legs. Too bad the set does not have enough parts left to bulk it up.
Well, as a consolation, I do think the skinny legs evoke the MP Megatron look.
