Optimus Prime and Megatron from Marvel Crossovers
Posted: Tue Jun 29, 2010 11:59 amHere are my takes on Optimus Prime and Megatron based on Marvel Crossovers Captain America and Hulk (tank), respectively.
Prime has the head and hands from Movie Robovision Voyager OP, and the red front push bar from Univ2 Ratchet. I added some minor paint apps as well, but I'd love to do more to bring more blue to his legs and red to his torso, not sure how that will work out tho. He needs a couple Autobot symbols, and I want to remove the star from his chest and wheels, but they're molded in, sounds like a lot of work. I want to get a pair of Movie Voy OP guns/smokestacks and add them in both modes, we'll see.
Megatron has the head from a Beast Wars Megatron, painted silver. I left the purple face, as it harkens back to G2 Megatron's color scheme. I wanted to paint the eyes red but they are glued in solid, not coming out. The head has to be turned to the side to transform. I added some silver paint apps here and there, too. I plan to split the fingers so they fold separately.
I took the arm cannons from a Movie Ironhide and carved out the front, added some paint, and mounted it to the arm via a new peg I installed. The only major problem I still have is mounting the cannon in alt mode; right now it just sits there, I need to attach it somehow. Still looks OK tho, I think- you tell me!
