Hello, everyone.

 

Some of you may have seen the custom Omega Supreme I did for a client. Well the basics behind this custom is the same client wanted a Tidalwave to fight Omega. This evolved into wanting him to stand as tall as Omega, then to also wanting him to be painted like G1 Megatron. Well for that to happen I had alot of work ahead of me. I came up with a basic story of WHY Megs would be sea vessles. The reason was this was an alternate reality Megs where either they crashed on a waterworld (with no Kevins) or they crashed not in the mountains but near some place like Hawaii where sea vessles was scanned.

Well on to the pics with more info:

So how do you make a tall toy taller??? you either add at the waist or legs. Well Megs had long legs so we start there. So needless to say I had a junker Metroplex laying arouns and Presto. Long legs. He now stands as tall as Omega. Yes i know he has long legs but to be honest so did the G1 Megs and my client loves it so that is all that matters. :D

 

 

Well Megs has an arm cannon right?? Well easy enough to make if you have the following: Destroyed Minicon, Citadel paint pot, 2 Pepsi 20oz caps, 2 medicine bottles, some PVC pipe for the center, and a bit off a real gear movie TF for the eye glass. You can actually look thru the cannon. Go here for work in progress pics of the cannon:

The new Waterworld Megs still transformers just like Tidalwave. The extended leg sections transform into a repair vehicle that can go on land or water or turn into a cybertronian looking dock. Both modes will support a crane and seachlight which can be placed in different areas of the docks. See photos below. The search light is made from a cybertron Downshift weapon and the crane from a RID hightower fig. Both convert to weapons to turn the repair vehicle into a war vessel. The searchlight also doubles as the second barrel that sticks up from megs back. Here are pics of the true "Dark Fleet".

 

Here is pics of the super vessel mode and dock:

 

Wait didn't Tidalwave have a minicon?? Well Waterworld Megs was not the only one to get a new look. Image if everyones favorite Deceptibirdie got new looks as well??? That is right. Megatron comes with Lazerbeak. And he is supporting an all new look with 4 forms. Thats right FOUR!!!! Check them out by clicking the links:

Please feel free to make comments. Did I do him justice?? The cleint thinks so, how about you??

Peace,

PS if you see an area that needs touched up, do not worry they have been. Photos where taken prior to final clear coat and all touchups where taken care of. ;)

very unique... innovative. looks pretty good.

sweet! I loved tidalwave to begin with. I have actually thought the idea of alternate worlds awhile ago, mine was after seeing 'Dune' and had to do with after the cybertronian wars all of the tf's return to cybertron and have different bodies depending on where they landed. i would guess a water planet would work.

 

if your clientlikes this you should see if he wants more like a starscream (i guess he would be Seascream) from E. sharkticon. or some other water bot;)

 

good job, i am tired of repaint/headswaps getting sold. I personally figured anyone could do a repaint, it's the fabrication aspect that makes a commission worth the $$$

he's awesome

 

:clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap

Looks a bit goofy,because the legs don't match up perfectly,but considering what you used to make them,it is quite huge balls of awesome.

Awesome idea!!! :thumb

Wow! this tread only got one star? i voted five for you,so the total would become three.

Man,the rating system sucks sometimes.

I saw that one at BotCon! Freakin' awesome!

Thank you. There was some tough competition in the single figure this year. Glad you liked it though. ;)

Thats wicked awesome dude! Great work and a sweet idea! I think you should now make an Optimus Sub to go after him
