It all started with one picture.....
PROLOGUE
About a month ago, I casually browsed Transformer fansites and discovered photos of upcoming offerings (below)
Finally, Hssbro official tapped into "Hearts Of Steel" , a Transformers what-ifs comics series that was published about 20 years back,
Back then, I remembered seeing the concept arts of the bots from the series and didn't find them appealing,honestly. However..... when photo like above showed up. my brain immediately lighted up and this signified that I could actually built these guys (not just Megatron) using official LEGO sets!!! So there...!!
ABOUT SET 31130
LEGO set 31130 was released in the year 2022 and I've made many Transformers using the set, mostly based on official Transformers character too! My favorite of the bunch is Snarl (video tutorial below)
ABOUT THIS CREATION
The sudden eureka moment to build this Steampunk Megatron was due to the big round plates found in set 31130. They're perfect for Megatron's wheels!!
I can't help but call him Taco Megatron occasionally!!
TRANSFORM!
ROBOT MODE
The official toy (inset) seems to show bulkier forearms and this is probably while his cannon cannot be mounted on them, but wielded as a gun instead.
I always assumed Meg's cannon is mounted on his left arm. So the photo above is actually flipped.
