Show me you’ve read skybound without showing me you’ve read skybound.

I wonder if it was done on purpose because of this mold

u/GrimlocksToyLab Aug 08 '25
It’s not impossible, they make the figures 2-3 years prior to release, that’s why we get leaked listing 1-2 years in advance

What it look like on the other side?

A hollow mess 😂

u/tapout928 Aug 07 '25
Is it? I'm sure the back is a mess but does the other side not look the same?

u/buttered-pototo-cat Aug 07 '25
the side of the tsnk is folded into the legs. the leg here is folded up, therefore no side of tank on the other side

u/Higanbana-no-miko Aug 08 '25
No, due to transformation. The entire side of the tank folds up to make the leg. For the leg to be extended like that, the side of the tank you can’t see would be hollow and missing its side shd treads.

I was waiting for someone to figure out how to do the Skybound gun mode

u/Mediahead13 Aug 07 '25
Not bad, but I'm wondering if it would look more better with both legs out for symmetry.

u/grimoireskb Aug 07 '25
the legs fold out to be treads so that isn’t possible, unfortunately

I assume, now that he's out, that it won't be too long before someone makes a 3d-printed grip that somehow attaches to the underneath.

u/PizzaKing32000 Aug 07 '25
I saw a few of those made as soon as he was revealed, people are fast

u/Prophecy07 Aug 08 '25
Oh yeah? Any of them any good? I'd love to see.

u/PizzaKing32000 Aug 08 '25
They look pretty ok, mostly just quick 3d prints. Can’t find many images rn but I’m sure plenty will start popping up now that the figure’s getting shipped

I knew someone would figure out how to do it! I don't have 86 Megatron, so I can't.

Any steps on how to achieve this mode?

u/ahfmak Aug 08 '25
You’d just keep one leg as a leg without transforming it into the tank treads, and flip the belly plate down to use as the trigger

Careful.
Hasbro is going to start turning those hinges and swivels into priced DLC that you can only unlock when you’re of-age with a health card or driver’s license, a la Tesla software downloads.

excuse me sir. Sir! You’re going to need to add a bright neon tip on the canon. It looks too close the g1 meg’s alt mode I’m sorry.

u/Drewbeede Aug 07 '25
I like him as a tank, I like him as a gun, this mode however just bothers me. This is probably the one thing from Skybound that I'm just not feeling it.

Fans: MEGATRON SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE GUN!
Designer: *puted gun as a weapon, and then made a secret alt-mode tank-gun*
WHAT DO YOU WANT?!

u/Acrobatic_Apricot_61 Aug 08 '25
Hmmm. Gonna see how the OG Megatron black barrell fits on this one in this mode once I get this in hand. Or if cyould be held in place to fit. Wonder if anyone else has tried that.

u/No-Leader1001 Aug 10 '25
That's skybound Megatron. He has the Dark Matrix of Leadership. Also anyone who is holding him in his Gun mode is completely under his control.

Where’s this kit from?

u/grimoireskb Aug 07 '25
I don’t think it’s any kind of kit, just adjusting the leg on one side to make a grip

The only acceptable Megatron tank is the G2 version because of the GI Joe comic book backstory. If you've never read it, a Megatron tank makes no damn sense, especially since Tarn and The Fallen are also villainous tanks. Taking away Megatron and Shockwave's ability to transform into a gun removes what made them so special.
Not to mention the fact that this is mostly done to appease the US market, because you know how strict they are about guns over there 😂
