Alright!! I FINALLY did it!! After my first one being the Optimus Prime Dive to the Heart and one with both Optimus and Megatron, I slowly managed to get working on Megatron and now I got it.
Now, I did this for fun. Like the past ones, I am making this for the sake of my obsessions of both Transformers Prime and Kingdom Hearts. Also, considering the big news from the D23 trailer, I felt this is appropriate to make this as a way to show how much excitement I have for KH3. But mainly there is very little crossover art between the two franchises....somebody has to do something about it LOL
If any of you want some sentiment thoughts on Megatron, I have a few thoughts on that since this is still 10 years in the TF fandom. When the first film came out, Megatron was cool, but it wasn't enough to pull me in to loving him like Optimus did, at least on a personal level. Animated was alright too, but it still did not grab me. Same goes for Armada and even, ironically, G1. Then, when I heard the announcement that the original voice of G1 Megatron will be returning to voice Megatron in Transformers Prime, THAT is when I was gaining respect for the character. Especially when I learned that It was Frank Welker. I actually never heard of him until I heard of that announcement late 2009 (I think). I have never forgotten my mind blowing moment when I found out he voiced so many various characters in my childhood. That was when I learn he was the voice God of Hollywood LOL
So, ever since then, I became a fan of him and enjoyed every crazy moment from Megs in TFP. This is, by far, my favorite Megatron. I think he has the best design, dare I say, that is even better than Optimus Prime (that's saying something), his personality being absolute bonkers when he wants to be but still being cunning and brutal (even intelligent and often sassy) in every sense of the word. Everybody can agree that Frank Welker had a ball voicing TFP Megatron and made sure he was an over-the-top nut job with a silly bucket head I can gush over LOL as much as I love this Megatron, I have gain more respect to G1 Megatron down line.
I will say this despite it not being a special occasion like Frank Welker's belated birthday....cuz why not. I WANNA SAY SOMETHING NICE! I am one of the very few surprisingly lucky people to meet with Frank Welker. He may voice a wacky warlord, but he as a person is just a sweetheart. I have never forgotten his reaction on what I presented him, that being pillow I made for him(he said it was so cool) and the drawing I had him sign. Seeing him say "WOW" on my drawing is worth everything since I never thought I would ever see that day seeing the largest name in the voice acting industry say "WOW" at my work. But the moment I will NEVER forget when I met him a second time. I cried as I walked toward him (and Peter Cullen), He noticed and asked, "what happened to your beautiful smile?" After spilling my heart out with words, he gave me a personal message to me as Megatron saying, "you, my dear, may be an Autobot. But if you feel lost to them, you are more than welcome to join the Decepticon legion." Then, of course, I gave him a hug. What he added by his autograph on my photo [myself with Peter and Frank] was something I hold dear. He wrote, "you keep smiling!" It was so important to me, I scratched that quote on the back of my Wayfinder charm (from Kingdom Hearts) as good luck for me.
Frank, if you are seeing this, thank you for giving me an experience with and Peter unforgettable. I will admit I was nervous meeting you. But you're kindness showered over my worries. You were really sweet, incredibly talented, and super silly. I enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you so much! I look forward to more work from you.
ANYWAY, This was actually really fun to do. I actually had a hard time drawing the cons used in this. I even added Optimus to this to fill the awkward empty space (yes, I distorted him in purpose). I could add Unicron, but I think the dark energon pool thing was good enough LOL
Am I gonna do the others you ask? ......Maybe...?? I did OP aand Megs because they are my favorite characters. However, if I were to do this, I am going for the main characters like most of the Autobots (Arcee, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Bulkhead) and the Decepticons (Starscream, Knockout, and Soundwave)...excluding humans mind you - at least with their own stained glass.
<...I actually may do Starscream next down the line....stay tuned LOL)
Hope you all enjoy this! I really had blast on this!

I didn't expect anything like this. That's all.
