On the removal, it would be very difficult to remove just that top coat of nastiness without touching any of the original paint underneath if you use chemicals. It'll be a mess, but a very fine grit of sandpaper could allow you to buff away the stuff on the top while leaving any of the original paint that's underneath. That will still be difficult, and may still damage the original toy's paint even if you're super careful. Not really a good solution for something like this I'm afraid, but best of luck at any attempt!
In my experience, a cheap degreaser from the dollar store can go a long way. The brand I use is called "Greased Lightning" and it comes in a yellow spray bottle. It usually eats away some enamel and most acrylic paints. Swab some on with a cotton swab, do not spray it on. You want to work in sections. Because the original paint beneath is sealed in, the degreaser will eat away the top coat of paint first. Just be patient and keep a close eye on what you are doing. Let it soak in for minutes at a time before taking a toothbrush to it to scrape away the paint. Soap and water will help as well. And always keep a towel to wipe away any loose paint and excess degreaser. A good starting point would be the orange tip on Megatron's scope.
Caution, be very careful with Classics Megatron's clear plastic bits. You don't want to take sandpaper to them either. Hope this helps.
