I thought I'd throw up some pics of my first ever custom Transformer. He's a Movie 1 Leader Class Megatron. I forgot how horrible the original one looked when I saw one up for sale at Nexus last month.

Not sure what to say he was my first ever custom. I did him back in 2007 when the movie came out and was/ is my proud leader of the Movie 1 Decepticons :)

Custom Red LED for head (Never got around to changing his chest ones)

A little bit of detail on his shoulders/ chest. Including some "battle damage" on the chest

His head, and it can move around slightly

I hope you enjoyed seeing him. He was a fun project. Even the trip to Jaycar to get his LED was fun. I remember at one point after the assistant showing me various red LEDs and saying they weren't bright enough I said to him.
"I want an LED that's so bright you look at it, close your eyes and it's still burnt in the back of your retina"

Fun times.

Very nice. A dramtic improvement on what was a very poor toy.

Thank you. For comparison's sake this is what the original looked like

I bought him JUST to paint him as a custom, otherwise I wouldn't have touched him. I still can't stand the original deco.
