Transformers: Generations Scan - Look at MP-36 Megatron 2.0, Transformation

Posted by D-Maximal_Primal Dec 15, 2016 at 4:24pm CST 31,908 views
Seibertronian Cyberpath has done it again, providing us with scans courtesy of Cheem of the Transformers Generations booklet where the new Masterpiece Megatron has been shown off. Among the scanned images are a look at the process of designing a good masterpiece, with the "ideal" robot mode designed first, followed by something that looks as close to it as possible, but is still capable of Transformation. The process also shows the designing of the chest along with the alternate parts and accessories, and even a look at how they were attempting to perfect his chin curve!

Following this is a sneak peak at Megatron's Transformation, which appears quite intricate. Among the observations are that it appears the trigger guard is absorbed into the shins, and the chest plate is stored away on top of the gun mode.

You check out the images below, and join the conversation in the Energon pub below!

Step one: lay Megatron down, step two:raise arms, step three: explode, step four: gun mode, step five: profit.

Well that transformation looks utterly terrifying. Gives ROTF Prime a run for his money.

Don't sell it! It's a bonafide collectors item! Especially if it ain't broken at all.

First there was ladder magic. Now we have Gun Magic!

You don't see where step one is some crude shapes and step 2 is a finished head with the rest just adding excessive details on a "how to draw Optimus Prime" guide?

To be fair, Transformers 'how to draw' guides are guilty of this generally.

That's not quite the same thing, nobody would mistake step 2 for a finished drawing.

Rotf prime really isn't all that difficult.

The transformations that are the biggest pain are the ones that don't hold together. MP-05 is fairly easy to get used to, but it's the fact that nothing wants to stay together that is most annoying.

I'm perfectly happy with a complicated transformation, just as long as everything lines up and is solid in both modes.

Judging by recent masterpiece releases, this one should be fantastic. But we'll see.

I feel like a lot of people attempt a transformation once, and if they consider it too difficult, they never make an attempt to actually learn it. I think ROTF prime suffers from that. I think it's a really neat and interesting transformation. But most people just seem to say it's too difficult, transform it once, and never try it again.

It's just a fun joke about how pat lee and drramwave on how to draw transformers. It was more showing off than anything. With pat lee it was "draw a circle, now draw Optimus Prime, now give him leprosy" it's just a running joke of "this is how to draw without actually showing you"

I totally agree! Complicated transformations are my bag, baby--especially when "ladder magic" is involved. But floppy messes are not fun to deal with. Never owned MP-0, so I cannot testify to how loose it is. However all MPs that I own are solid. I am rigid in joyful anticipation for MP Megs 2.0!
