*breathless* wow........how big is that thing? +1 karma btw
If you ask me, use 2 Republic Gunship bases, one for each of the wheels perhaps it could be better balanced? But no wait, if you defeat one side, that side can't move......never mind.

That sis really good, I too have been playing around with this very idea! About last summer, I was looking to do this, I just needed the halfire droid. I did come across a discount toy of it at Wal-Mart, but for some (stupid) reason, I did not get it. I wish I had, and this kind of may inspire me to continue trying to make it. I don't think the guys at Hasbro could have done a better job

Wow, looks like I got a nice positive reaction. Glad it lived up to its hype.
To xanatos, if you do end up taking a whack at one of these, life is much easier if you have: a way to hack off most of the turret base, a screwdriver to open up the droid and pull out the missile pegs, and a sander to sand down the holes where said pegs were so the turrets can fit in. I used a dremel for the first and last bits so that is a highly recommended tool.
As for size, I'll try to take another scale picture to give you an idea of this thing versus a standard Mega. Let's just say if Hasbro wanted to make an official Mega just like this one, they'd have to use a bigger Mega box...

Use a dollar bill in the picture, since everyone knows how large those are. It's like putting a newspaper in a ransom photo so you know it's authentic and when it was taken...uh...scratch the last. ;D

Off-hand, I'd say it's roughly, and I do mean roughly since I'm estimating, about five or six times the size of a Gunship...
Am I close, Grievous?
