Posted: Wed Sep 13, 2006 9:17 amLooks Pretty good. Love what you did with the Sword.
Posted: Wed Sep 13, 2006 3:59 pmPoop. I already posted my thoughts on this in the Prime thread; didn't notice this was here already. Hang on... *toddles off*
*rummages*
*returns* Got it...

Two improvements (in my opinion) that I would suggest:
1) Rework the head a little; it still looks too Unicron. The beard should probably go for a start, and I think I'd personally shave down the sides of the helmet (where it sticks out near the jowls), and build up the top (like the forehead, maybe make a little more like the classic buckethead).
2) I think a little more paint may be in order, I can't help thinking that it looks too grey; a little more silver (especially on the face) and black could help a lot.
I'd also like to point out the extra mod you made to Prime, which I loved. Fixing the rifles to his shoulder mounts in robot mode acts a brilliant distraction, drawing the eye away from the bare shoulders. Nice touch.

What can I say? I agree with everything you said. The reason I didn't fix the head and paint is I only have pics of G1 Megs. I have been waiting until I can afford one in the box. I keep on buying other tformers instead though. I'll get one soon though. It's kinda sad though, no G1 Megs, Blaster, or Soundwave in a modest collection of almost 400.
Posted: Wed Sep 13, 2006 6:26 pmWhy do you need a G1 Megs to modify this? Just take some inspiration from the pictures you have and go with what feels right for you.
Here's a quick and filthy db to get across what I mean. It's not great, but it's an idea...

I just want all the details, head and paint to be as close to perfect as possible. Toy perfect, not comic.
Anyway. The head will definitely look better that way

Posted: Sun Nov 05, 2006 12:46 amMaybe no one cares at this point, but I have done some mods to God Megatron. Some simple paint enhancements and I added a sheild. The sheild is from Unicrons purple planet pieces ppp. The sheild is bordered by Unicrons rings and can hold 6 minicons as a power-up. More later. Pics also.

Posted: Sun Nov 05, 2006 5:14 pmNothing fancy, just removed part of one of the pegs from the left arm and attached/glued it to his chest. If you look closely you can see the peg in Robot mode.

Posted: Wed Nov 15, 2006 5:04 pmA couple hours to go and it looks like my collection will retain it's largest leaders after all. I guess I'll get to work on the others as soon as Starscream is $25. Black Friday here I come.
