Mod (II) : Titans Return Galvatron and Nucleon ( a.k.a. mini-Meg ) !!!

And now part 2 of the modifications for TR Galvatron!!!! Since I will not be transforming Galvatron into "jet" mode, and also saw in the TF forums of this mod, I finally decided to totally "destroy" the plastics, hahahaha.... So first up is to remove the "cockpit" (not sure what is the proper term but hey who cares, hahaha)...


To save trouble, I also cut off the pin-hole part off the cockpit to use later...


A shorter pin which I found in my junk box (I don't know from the pin is from... ) is used to assemble the parts...


The structure is then glued at the cut-off piece to the back of Galvatron... Reinforced using the UV-light Glue.... Done!!!!! Hot-blowed the white stress marks back to normal too...


The back is now quite clean without the bulky cockpit... nice...


Next, the cannon... the current position Hasbro has is not wrong, as this is one of the many positions that Galvatron has been seen to mount the cannon on... However, the lower arm articulation is heavily hindered by this default position, and this has caused many TF collectors to attempt some remedies, e.g. extra piece to mount into the official arm-hole but cannon at the side of arm... I choose a lazier way of just drilling a 5mm hole at the side... super lazy, hahahaha.... but at least this saves me USD 4... hahaha....


But this is still not enough, so I remove the lower arm fins... and stupidly attempted to paint over the cut sections with metallic purple over it, making a quite ugly strip of paint on both arms... luckily the areas are very narrow and not easily noticeable... Hahahaha....



... and drill a hole at the lower arm too!!!!


So here' the result of the moddings... First up is the cannon mode... Looks good... hahahaha....




And Galvatron in robot mode... Looks good!!! More options to put the cannon now!!! Hahahaha....







And here's a short clip to show the modifications...
