How great would it be to really boost up Thraka or have a build your own? Thraka would lose his IC stats, but I would give him an optional Meganob (Guard detachment)

I think Thraka should be an MC anyway. He's been getting gradually bigger every time he get s new model. In the next Ork Codex, he should have similar stats but become an MC instead of an IC. Though I think making him an MC would actually make him less powerful now that I think about it, as he wouldnt be able to join squads. Giving him Meganobs as a retinue would make for a nigh unkillable deathstar, so I dont think thats a good idea. Unless it was just 1 or 2 of them.
Also, he would need to loose his power klaw and get something that allowed him to strike at his Initiative, as MC's have AP2 CC attacks already.

The klaw would be there to give him S10, which is his main source of hurtiness, as that many S10 AP2 hits is painful. A jump from S6 to S10 is still well worth unwieldy, although he may need another attack to compensate.

His current +1 extra attack on the charge rule can also be folded into rage.

To be honest, I feel there should be a degree of Warboss.

You've got your standard warboss, the one you see in the games now, he's got himself a proper WAAAGH! going, he's got his own personal Nob squad, maybe a few bigger nobz scattered out and about, with a buncha boyz and bitz.

Then there's the MC Warboss, the boss that would have Warbosses under him, he's got nobz aplenty in his army, he's got more boyz, a giant Space Hulk just up there sending roks down, he's got a klaw the size of a space marine chapter master. This is the orks "Chapter Master" in other words.

Then you've got things like Thraka, who are just huge, though I kinda wish for an Apocalypse Style "The Beast" Gigantic Creature for orks.
