WOW. If hasbro had done him like that, I'd have bought him instead of prime!

Really good paint work, though he looks like he belongs in a game of Monopoly.

He could fight that little car... he's probably an Autobot anyway...

Me too, except I haven't gotten Prime yet. >_> I might have to try my hand at spraypaint.

Wow!!! that new paint application really makes a difference!!! and it hides and blends the head into the altmode alot easier.. this is how HASBRO should have released this figure!!!

Though more fiendish, it suits him better.

Dear Hasbro,

Read this thread, click on link, look at great pics of Megatron, and take very good notes. Then take what you learned and put it to production. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Sportimus Prime

I still hate the figure and the design, but HOLY CRAP what a custom that is.

Credit to the creator, man, that is nice.

thats really good...the first I noticed when I got the leader megatron was indeed the weird color scheme, why is the blue there for example >_<

that is so f-ing awesome.

That is very well painted.

THAT is Heavy Metal.

Here's hoping the inevitable galvatron repaint looks half as good as this.

Now thats what I'm talking bout. who wants to forward this to Hasbro?

What one can do with a little silver paint, and some ingenuity.

He looks amazing.

You think they guy that made this would take requests. I'd like to send him my Megs and have him repaint it like that. I'd even be willing to pay for it.

Oh my god.That is amazing. This is what makes me want to hold off on the current megatron! Screw it, I'm notbuying their red and blue version!

by **Enigma_Dragons** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 12:54 am

I bet If hasbro had painted Megatron like that people would complain that there wasnt enough color to him..

News Credits: 972 · by **i_amtrunks** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 7:06 pm

Now that is a well painted figure!

WE will never see Hasbro do this for any of their normal figures though, its a good idea...

I would consider buying him if he looked like that...

Absolutely beautiful.

Well who ever did the paint job did the movie megatron figure justice. I have to say that hasbro should learn from this guy when painting certain transformers like movie megatron among others.

by **a7x666** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 10:54 pm

its beautiful i want it i wish it was made that way normally

Eh...pass.

I'll admit, I'm biased towards the original color scheme. However, I'm willing to admit, his custom does show off the facial detail, and does a really, really nice job of it. That's about it though, it's so friggin' bland otherwise.

Hell, if you look at the TFW pic (which is what he based it off of), it has gold highlights on the knees, etc. He didn't apply those, which might've helped.

*sighs* I know he's not a perfect figure, but he's not the worst either. Damn.

the realy fig isnt bad its self its just the paint hasbro used was terrible and made every thing stick out in the wrong places. Know this paint job makes him look like the bes transformer ever. His head blinds nicely along with his legs. I wonder how much it will gost for him to do it for me. Or even better whos with me i say we start a flaming hasbro fan cry until they make this toy a reality! WHOS WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
