Energon Galvatron Space Cannon Mode WIP

[tom servo]

I've wanted to do something like this since I bought this figure, but I never got around to doing more than removing his wings and making a new fusion cannon. Now that Jin's made not one but two Galvatrons I had to take a stab at it. I think I managed to put my own stamp on it.

My real problem is that the socket that I made for the cannon is too tight. I don't know how I'll ever keep paint on it. The base of the cannon is made from parts from Marvel Legends Iron Man's jet pack. The crown on the socket that it plugs into is a part that I found in the street ages ago. Never throw anything out people.

The shoulders are going to get tank treads as soon as I can find a set that's the right size.

I'll post robot mode pics when I work out how the cannon will attach to his arm.

In a funny twist, I seem to have been channeling 'The Next Generation when I made this. When I got him all together, I realized that he looks a bit like an exocomp This was not my intent. but it's still funny.

 

This is my original fusion cannon- made out of that horrid little tank that he came with. I still like it.

Hey, that alt mode actually looks pretty good. Tight and simple.

Thanks! Jin came up with the leg transformation. All the times that I fidgeted with him, I never came up with that.

Awesome! I love the WIP pics. looking forward to seeing the Thom_Servo treatment on the paint job.

Nice one.

Thanks WJ! I hope this lives up to your expectations! Bear in mind that this is still very "in progress".

Still a bit of painting to do. Got to add the orange to the barrel. I'm following Jin's lead on that one and using his tip about layering clear orange over the silver. I'll have to pick that up tomorrow. I think the structure is all in with the exception of those front treads. I'm going to have to keep my eyes pealed for the right thing to use...
