Firstly, let me introduce him.Meet Leader Class Megatron from Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen toy-line.
As stated on its box,"Rebuilt with parts Cannibalized from other Decepticons, Megatron rises once again to lead his army. Though the AllSpark destroyed him once, he can now feel its power coursing through his circuitry. It calls him to seize his rightful place as ruler over the puny planet on which he was imprisoned and destroyed, and from which he will launch his conquest of the universe. Optimus Prime is all that stands between him and victory, and the Autobot leader has done a poor job of hiding himself. At long last, Megatron knows exactly where his enemy is, and he has power enough to destroy him."
Stated also on the box, "Ages 5+".Though this might look like a toy for children, I'm gonna do something that I'm sure kids don't do to their transformers toys.I'm gonna beautify my Megatron further.Overall, I've decided to break down this project into a few phases.What I do in this phase is simply removing unwanted colors. On Megatron, there is only one part which has an unwanted color in my opinion. That is, the red panel on his right arm/cannon.
Basically I just soaked cotton buds with thinner and rub them on the paint to remove the existing color.
To me, the red color on his arm seemed out of place to his color scheme so, I decide to remove it before going further.
To be continued on Phase 2.
