Glad you like it Chris, I am starting to lean towards Optimus too.  He
shouldn't be too tough to build, being color friendly to my collection (I
have plenty of red, and should have enough blue and white/gray).  I should
even be able to keep Megatron without needing to rob parts from him.

As a Trans Fan reborn, could you see sets like this being in demand?  I'm
toying with the possibility of offering Transformer sets, and if possible
even aquiring the official transformer license (having no idea at this point
what that might cost).  I'd be interested to see what price point they could
sell at.

Regards,

As usual, you've created some wonderful masterpieces.  Megatron, whoa, • what can
I say?!?  Very nice!  I recently have been really getting back into
Transformers, with the Dreamwave comics (the new "The War Within" looks • very
cool), the Takara re-releases, and the movie on DVD.  Your Megatron model
really captures the essence of megatron.  I think that this is the best • model
based on a pre-existing theme I've seen from you since your groundbreaking • Zaku
(IMO, that Zaku really changed the way the entire community builds mecha).

Next model?  It has to be Optimus Prime!  I personally don't think that
Starscream was very good looking in the DW comics.  Optimus Prime would • make a
much better "mate" to Megatron.  After that, I would say Shockwave.  Do • you
remember the cover art for the original Marvel comics #5 issue of "The
Transformers"?  That illustration of shockwave was so cool!  My third • choice
would be model of Jazz or Prowl from "The War Within" - you know, the • pre-Earth
robot forms?

Anyway, thanks for merging two of my biggest childhood interests!

Later, Chris
