Lego Transformers G1 Megatron

This is an Instructable on how to make my Lego transformers G1 Megatron. Keep in mind that this transformer is small, so it will break extremely easily. You must be careful when handling it. I made him all the original colors up to it's limits, after all, it is made of legos. Post pictures of your version when you are done if you'd like, I'd like to see them. If any of the pictures are unclear, or you want me to answer any questions, please tell me in the comment section and I will reply.

Step 1: Builging the Legs

Simply follow the instructions to build the legs. If any of the pictures are unclear, or you want me to answer any questions, please tell me in the comment section and I will reply.

[screamreaper]

To je úžasné, som to, môj priateľ bol ohromený.

[Draconian1]

Mr. Mepain, do you only build transformers and if so do you have a sentinel one?

[bomb voyajue]

it looks like he has a skirt on :P
ps i drew a picture of megatron i might post it sometime

[SomeAsianKid]

that makes a lot of sense megatron into a pistol...

[GorillazMiko]

nice instructable, i dont have the pieces though. well, only some. cool instructable though,

[TwistedDemon]

dude use lego digital designer to build it and get the parts that you need p.s. you may need to have it modified a bit

[217]

how do you do that?

[TwistedDemon]

simple go to http://www.lego.com/ and download it ( its free)

[217]

I tried but it won't work.Could you please give me specific directions?

[TwistedDemon]

what type of computer are you using ?

[217]

An hp pavilion a420n.

[TwistedDemon]

I meant what O.S you were using as in mac or windows.

[217]

a windows.

[TwistedDemon]

then go to the website included in my previous post they may have the answers that you seek.

[217]

What am I supposed to do on the digital designer?

[TwistedDemon]

You build it as the file I sent says

[CoMaNdEr_WoBbLeS]

it doesn't say anything but nice try

[TwistedDemon]

then try this also it might help if you download the new design by me program

[thermite23]

I slightly modified the model to be compatible with the newest version so that no pieces are deleted and still retains the gun barrel's original appearance.

[217]

It's blank.

[TwistedDemon]

in that case build it using the instructions that go with this insructable

[217]

But I don't have the pieces.

[TwistedDemon]

if you don't have the pieces use your imagination and work around it.

[217]

What is that supposed to mean?

[TwistedDemon]

do you have LDD ? do you have an idea on what to do? If Yes, then get building.

[sferrl]

in the therd pic for the legs wut are the black pecies

[hyeonu]

nice but isnt it fragile to transform him

[Soundwave4]

dude is there a lego g1 devastator plz let me know if there is

[Mad Cat]

Wow, too bad I don't have much Lego (only the new Mindstorms). By the way, I am working on a new machine gun. It fires around 8 shots per minute and is a Gatling gun. It has a capacity of around 60 shots. Here's the catch: it is a rubber band gun. I bet you are all sighing in despair now. But it is pretty cool for a rubber band gun. It is just as impressive as that extremely popular Lego gun on Youtube. There is a good chance of it being posted (much more than that previous machine gun i had did).

[Mepain]

So it works like this one then, right? Video.

[mega1]

hey could you send me very detailed instructions on this i cant make the pictures and i really want to make this

[Mad Cat]

Yes, pretty much. There are a few Lego versions on Youtube. So, should I post it?

[zixx65]

nvm i found out what it is.

[mega1]

plz respond as soon as you can plzzzzzzzzzz

[mega1]

if you now how to make the whole model then plz help me an e-mail me some very extremely detailed instructions at [e-mail] . its really confusing to me because of the lighting and im dying to make this too.

[mega1]

i spent all day figuring out the 4th picture so someone plz send me some very detailed picture instructions on all the step for it so it through via e-mail at [e-mail]

[thatguywithglasses]

[zixx65]

[zixx65]

hey...... on the third picture on how to make the legs, what are those black pieces because im dying to make this and i can't see what they are?

[shadowprove]

I'm using LDD and they don't have some certain peices you need

[zixx65]

yeah i know right?

[CoMaNdEr_WoBbLeS]

did you get LDD ver. 3.0

[awesomemantheawesome]

i used it but it still doesn't have the pieces

[Predator11]

 how do yoy get those peices, is their a way I could get them? 

[Soundwave4]

Is there a lego g1 Soundwave since Soundwave is my favorite transformer on decepticons side and Wheeljack is my favorite autobot

[TwistedDemon]

that i do not know  but if you use ldd or design by me as it is called now you can build it your self

[CoMaNdEr_WoBbLeS]

[bunduk]

[217]

what Lego set did you use to make it?

[lupinesoul]

You spelled "building" wrong.

[thatguywithglasses]

[Mepain]

How's it unclear?

[werklez]

what that peise that looks like a, oh never mine can please send me a clear picture?

[Mepain]

That is a clear picture. If you can't see what 3 pieces are added in that picture, then you won't have any more luck with another one.

[Shifrin]

Nice job! That was awesome, but next time you make a video like speed it up like x2 or x4 times, but it still is overall awesome! -Alex

[mutt256]
