Thanks for the pic but the proportions are still off in my eyes.

If you look at this drawing, which IMHO the proportions are right. The length of the lower legs equals the length of the torso and thighs.

Yes, that would be my only complaint.

Shorten the thighs and extend the legs the same amount, extend lower ankle side flaps.

Did this below looks better IMO

Re: X-Transbots MX-1 Apollyon (MP Scale Not-Megatron)

^^ from the cosmic rust episode.

It's awesome! I find the broad shoulders make his proportions look less lean and tall, but there are so many scenes from the g1 cartoon showing him as bulky, I think this look really works for him. I hope he's easier or at least smoother to Transform than MP 05... Either way, it's going on my list!

This picture ^^^ poorly represents what Megatron looked like in the G1 cartoon, so I wouldn't use it as a reference to how a MP figure should look. XTB Apollyon isn't exactly a perfect representation of Megatron either, but it looks the best by far of all the G1 Megatron figures to date. Here is another picture from XTB, looks a lot better in color.
