I got tired of the little axe thing, although he can still deploy it if he needs it:

 

nice little addition! 
can Ratchet still Transform back to his vehical mode?

 

I don't see why not, the cannon sticks out the same length as his hand did and the hand is fully articulated so it will fold under the vehicle. Have to shoot out the missile though.

 

Ratchet's got a gun
Ratchet's got a gun
Ironhide's on the run
Prime's dialin' 911
What made Ratchet snap,
Was he tired of Ironhide's crap?
They said when Ratchet was arrested
They found Frenzy headless in the trash
I hear that Sideswipe's really runnin
Now that Ratchet's got a gun,
The streets never gonna be the same.
Ratchet's got a gun
Ratchet's got a gun
Jazz's head has come undone
Cybertron's not real fun -
*GUNSHOT*
You want me to walk around Cybertron without a bulletproof vest?!
Forget about it!

  good job, where did the gun come from?

 

^ Beautiful poem  
And yes where did the gun come from

 

Nice mod bro  

 

Thanks All! Awesome poem/ song. Jamie was running through my head during the entire conversion.

The gun is from my parts H A Bumblebee, as I used his hand in my other latest post:

I saw the thread title and the first thing I thought of was Aerosmith, too.  

Great work  

 

Nice Gun

Would it not be possible to turn his axe into a gun with a flip out handle & a flip out barrel?
If it could be kept roughly the same size, it could holster into the forearm where the axe currently resides...
