1/24 ScaleThere's been some talk of a Masterpiece/Alternators Megatron. I looked up the dimensions of an actual Abrams tank (which seems to be the popular alt. mode). Does this look feasible? MP OP is pretty big . . . would MP Megs be in the same size category (and therefore an OK size to sell?)

 

Comments, questions, concerns, constructive criticisms are welcome. :wave

Dude I just measured those dimensions out...not too bad. That's actually pretty cool and feasible. Man that really makes me want an Alt-Like Megs now, more so than before.

Is this a rumor that you heard Lonedrifter or is this just an idea of yours?

I have to admit I'm not 100% behind the idea of him being a tank. Whilst a handgun ain't gonna happen (Which is for the best, to be honest), something like Flak Cannon or Siege Gun (Like a Kitbash that's floating around) would keep the elements of Megatron being a weapon of mass destruction and still be a little more unique than a tank.

Just an idea that's been floating around, based on the design of G2 Megatron.

 

At 1/24th it should manage to be a foot tall, or slightly taller.

Bah, I have a design for a MP Megs utilising a 1:1 scale 50 calibre Desert Eagle. size wise would fit and looks akin to cartoon Megs

I'm hoping his backside doesn't look like this:

Just to give an idea, this is what Megatron would look like as a G1 colored M1A2.
