I realise what works on a canvas doesn't necessarily translate to a 3 dimensional, tangible assembly of plastic - But if Hasui's work with the Transformers: Animated line is anything to go by, I think this look is totally achievable; the Bot mode looks almost exactly like the G1 show model and the Alt mode avoids an immense amount of legal hurdles.
I too love that design! Such brilliant use of some of the iconic G1 Megatron body parts to re-assemble as a tank. Especially like the chest panel as front of tank and the curved shin armors becoming sides of the turret. The transformation scheme is half way there and I bet some third party company is making this as we speak.

Guess Megatron being a gun is a nostalgia thing. As pointed out in this thread the whole point of Masterpiece 2.0 is toon accuracy. G1 Megatron was indeed a hell of a faithful gun mode but the robot didn't look like Megs in the cartoon at all. I'd like to see a definite toon-accurate G1 Megs toy (MP10 is that definitive G1 Prime, hands down. MP01? not even close imo) and I think this is the draw of MP to many fans. And I'm really interested to see how Hasui pull it off when the time comes.
