Wow...All of those models are simply stunning.
The megatron is very VERY well done. I think Starscream would be fun one to
do but even cooler would be cyclonus. Optimus is cool and all but there
have been many version of him already created and it'd be nice to see some
different transformers. I started working on a transformable version of
Devastator (made up of 6 constructicons) but gave that up b/c it would have
been huge. Now I think I'm going to try to do a
semi-sculpture/semi-functional version of Devastator. But back to
suggestions: Starscream, Cyclonus, or even soundwave would all be cool
models. Bad guys are just cooler...
Fei-Yen is very well done too. I like how even the skirt detail fits so
well. It reminds me of Xenogears mechs. Have you ever thought about doing
some Xenogears mechs? They seem like a good candidate to match your style
and creativity. (It's a Playstation RPG by Square in case you haven't heard
of it...)
Anyway, these are awesome contributions. Your other models (the Fatalle
most notably) aren't slacking either ;) Great work!
