Transformers 3 Megatron - G1 Version

Megatron's easily in my top 10 movie designs, and I thought it'd be cool to see a Legacy-style retro take on it.

I sorta pictured this guy being a retool of Armada Optimus Prime. I was really proud of the way I worked the vehicle kibble into the design, as well as references to both the '86 and 2012 movies. His exposed parts are based directly on his X-Ray in the '86 movie, and his mangled chest plate is from his fight w/ Optimus Prime. The truck grill takes the place of the stomach control panel, the gun barrel is replaced with smokestacks.
I made the tarp purple instead of tan, so it wouldn't blend in too much w/ the tan robot underneath. Someone on the subreddit suggested adding green splotches to it for a G2 shout-out, and I'm really sad I didn't honestly.
