Custom Megatron Transformers Generation 1 Style by Jin SaotomePosted by Mig on Thursday, December 6, 2007 @ 5:20 AM | PERMALINK | More Custom Figures: Custom Transformers | Custom Marvel Legends | Custom Star Wars | Custom GI Joe Ever since the Transformers Classics line came out, I have been waiting for someone to do the Classics Megatron justice. The original was a train wreck mix of greens, blues, blacks, and oranges and was a let down with respect to the original Generation 1 Megatron paint scheme, which I thought the Classics Line was supposed to pay respect to. For the most part, the Classics Line delivered (aside from Megs) but luckily there are talented customizers who can look past the myriad of crappy colors, which were probably a result of a poor focus group when they decided on the paint aps.Jin Saotome, in his latest rendition of the Classics Megatron, has taken the original figure leaps and bounds from what Hasbro produced and made it his own with his Generation 1 style Custom Classics Megatron. Jin even added some cool extras that I will let him tell you about: "Megatron's light-pipe eyes glow red now instead of green! Cool as that sounds, there's even more to him than that. Megatron's scope has a high-powered Laser pointer installed in it [Warning, laser radiation, do not look directly into the beam people!] that projects past my block as far as I can tell. Oddly enough the laser has a secondary mode that projects some sort of bizarre UV- blacklight from it. At first I thought it was just a blue LED but I now know it's a blacklight because the clear green eyes of my bionicle figures light up neon-bright in the dark and it will charge my glow-in-the-dark shirt almost instantly. I wouldn't look directly into this beam either as I don't know the specifications of this device. There's two buttons on top that activate each mode separately and you can replace the batteries inside if you need to."  Jin dares to do what the American Toy companies fail to do and that is deliver accurate, cutting edge Custom Transformers like this Generation 1 Classics Megatron, which is available on eBay!
