Here is my take on Galvatron. I had a spare doorstop (I mean Challenge at Cybertron Galvatron) and thought I could use it to do a custom Galvatron sometime but had no inspiration. When I saw a picture of WFC Megatron using the tank treads as arms for a canon mode, I saw it as the perfect mold to create and upgrade Galvatron for my Classics collection.

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.

I really like what you have done, and I think the WFC Megatron figure works well for this. I don't know if I agree with using both guns though. If it were the same style gun on both arms I would like the idea a whole lot more.

Has anyone besides me noticed that WFC Megatron's back plate is the Decepticon Logo?

Yes it is even more obvious in the game. Bumblebee sports the Quintesson emblem on his back in the game and Optimus has the Autobot emblem.

Great use of the figure! DOUBLE CANNONS OF DOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

Very well done. I like it alot!

Of all the customs I've seen this is for sure one of my favorites. The colors and head make an awesome figure even better. Would you mind telling what brand and color paints you used?
