    The Generations Megatron figure is a lovely little figure, very fun for a small guy, but he was lacking in paint. For this reason I decided to try to add some detail, and I'm happy with how it came out. I also went about repainting the Chopshop figure, which I felt came out wonderfully considering the red block it used to be, so I will start with him.

    I added silver to the teeth and touched up the detail on the head, then added some orange and black.

    The robot-block mode is where the paintjob shines. I hated that the figure had so few paint apps and the orange was so subtle that you could barely pick out the visor on his head.

    He went from this:

    I took some liberties on the figure such as giving him a green visor for a little contrast in the head.

    Yay for a decent paint job!

    Of course Chopshop's battering ram mode benefits from the details as well

    Quite flexible for an Insecticon!

    I also added some detail to the supports and such on the insides of the legs.

    And with that we move onto Megatron.

    I also added some headlights and taillights along with some additional yellow and red to spread some color to the figure. I only wish the plastic for the legs and the upper arms was the same, but the went and made them only a couple shades off, enough for it to be annoying, although I don't have the resources for a full repaint.

    I added some black to the upper arms, some black and red to his cannon, and some yellow to the hip pieces in the front. I also touched up the yellow on his chest.
