Thanks to everyone for the compliments and comments. As always, I'm glad that you like my work. Now, let me try to answer some specific comments and questions: Yeah, I know Secter. I'm waiting for that myself. Honestly, I'm gonna have to try to be creative and see what I can come up with, even if my part selection is limited. Cute, but oh so deadly... A couple of you did figure it out, but just to put everyone at rest I did use Sky Grinder's upper arms for M-2's upper legs. All of my part choices in this custom were aimed at making him small and compact (like Mega Man). He's actually the shortest figure I have now, even more so than Lash Master. Its pretty amusing to see M-2 stand next to Thunder Shaman. Heh, thanks for your...enthusiasm Orion. Good idea, though I haven't decided at this point whether I want to make other Mega Man inspired customs or not. M-2 might look simple, but he required parts from 6 or 7 figures. That's a bit hard to reproduce, ya know? It actually is glossy intentionally. I usually spray my customs with matte sealer, but I intentionally used glossy sealer on this custom to get that "shiny armor plating" look. It did make the custom a bit harder to assemble afterwards, but I'm pleased with the glossy look. Thanks again, Orion. I'm glad that you picked up on my Mega Man references (yes, those were intentional). I wanted to do more, but I lack the sufficient parts. Hopefully Fire Drake's flame drain piece with fit in the end of M-2's cannon. If you can think of any other pieces that I could use to reference other characters let me know. As far as my knowledge of Mega Man goes, I'd say its about average. I grew up playing the classic Mega Man games, though I haven't played many in the Mega Man X series. I'm still playing through the Anniversary Collection whenever I have the time and inclination. I know a lot of the old Mega Man games, though I don't really know much about Mega Man outside of the games (like the cartoon, toys, etc.). Well, thanks again everyone. I appreciate your support, as always. Stay tuned for new customs with wave 4 parts coming soon (hopefully).

To this I have but to say: For Shizzle! Mega Man is my absolute favorite video game character ever! I'm seriously thinking about making one of these on my own. That gives me an idea... once Hyper Guardian comes out, I could SO make a Zero custom. BTW, if anyone does need some Mega Man info, just ask me. I can probably tell you anything you'd need to know.

again, your custom inspires me, cactus. i love how short and bulky his is, it's a great homage to mega man without being too close.

Hey, I was wondering, could you post the recipe you used for this one? I can figure out most of it, but there are parts I'm kinda stuck on.

Orion pretty much got it right, but I'll give you my EXACT parts usage (just to be picky):
head: Transcorcher silver head w/pink torso: Sky Grinder waist: Omega Guard l. upper arm: Shadow Blade r. upper arm: Sledge Trooper l. forearm: Sky Grinder r. forearm: Preda Crawler l. hand: Omega Guard upper legs: Sky Grinder (upper arms) lower legs: Sky Grinder feet: Sledge Trooper chest armor: Tomb Wraith l. upper arm armor: Shadow Blade backpack: Omega Guard
I think that about does it. Thanks for helping out, Orion.

I found another good head that kinda fits with the stile. Use PredaCralwer's "lock jaw" and take out the jaw. Put the head on the neck where the jaw should be. It looks kinda like an alien.
