Megatron - Shang Tsung

I love transformers! Pre-pandemic when I worked in office, I had a couple G1's on my desk. It was something like 57 steps for Starscream to change shape. Didn't expect this much difficulty with the robot body but this was a lot of work to get down. I originally started working on an Optimus Prime a while back but after talking to Angel'sModz realized that Megatron may be a better option since Shang isn't exactly a model citizen with his animations. Another thought would be Optimus Prime down the road over General Shao, but I am happy with where I ended up. The tank is so sily but came out great, fully combos are possible too but I understand that this is more of a joke/for fun mod.

New Obstacles

- Robot joints bend less forgiving

- Tying the weights for the tank to the body to let it bounce and fight

Bugs

- The joints around the shoulders and arms fold into the chest portion at times. Sorry, no collision.
