Transformable Kre-O Ultra Megatron

[Pascal]

Tried building a transformable Megatron tank using just the pieces from the Battle for Energon set but ended up using more. Very fragile as is with all the hinges, I'll superglue it all once I'm 100% satisfied with the design.

TRANSFORMATION

1. Straighten the arms
2. Flip up the thumbs and fold down the claws
3. Fold down the dual arm cannon
4. Fold back the head
5. Unwrap the lower leg guards
6. Fold back the "wings" flat against the back of the legs
7. Rotate the legs around 180 degrees
8. Fold down the tank turret
9. Fold the legs against the back to emprison the head between the calves
10. Rotate the feet 180 degrees and place them perpendicular to the ground to form the thrusters
11. Close the cage over the head
12. Close the wings

Neat! I think this is the best one so far.

Thanks, but I still prefer my Primes. :D

Still haven't found a way to do a proper Starscream or Bumblebee yet... They're next on the list.

Reconfigured torso and integrated drill weapon on the left arm! Legs have been modified a bit too.

I also cleaned up the back leg kibble.

this keeps getting better and better!!

i wonder if the treads from a btr armada megs would work too?(even though they're green)

tank mode reminds me of "metalslug":D

[Pascal]

I think I partially got inspired by TM Rampage for the tank mode!

[Pascal]

Even more revisions...

-revised legs
-revised feet
-revised hands
-flip-out auxiliairy cannons in tank mode
-backleg wings can now rotate up to provide clearance for leg articulation
-some additional detailing all over (chest, tank tracks, etc.)

Looks like it was fun to make.

[Pascal]

It's fun, but the process also involves a lot of frustration when things don't fit, when THE part you're looking for is missing or when bricks are falling off and flying in all directions. That's why I superglue everything once I'm 100% satisfied!
