Are you ever going to do your Decepticons as well?

I have done the seeker mold with Thundercracker, but all the seekers are on my list, with Soundwave and a few others.

Now are you going to redo the 1984 catalog?

Thanks man!
Gonna try, but some of the minibots are going to be tough...

I may have to incorporate some of your mods into mine (and perhaps vise-versa). Mine could use some elbows and hips, yours could use some waist and feet. I think I could pull off that elbow mod, not so sure about the rest.

Anyway, my bar has now been raised! Awesome job.

Thanks, I really like your mods, but since we took different routes for the shoulder mod, as a result I think the shoulders, and pivot points are a little higher on mine. If I were to do your foot mod, it might make mine look too tall. I raised the chrome piece to change the torso/leg ratio, but dont want to alter it too much.

But I defiantly try the elbows on yours.

These guys with mods like yours are on my "must buy, and fix" to do list of TFs. It just so happens that a beat up old G1 Ratchet was my very first TF figure, a hand me down from my older cousin who died at a very young age of Leukemia before I was born, so this mold (even with it's obvious flaws) is really special to me. I might have to drop you a line when i finally get my hands on them to ask for your guidance on replicating your handy work.

Thanks man, As one of my first TFs, Ratchet has always been special to me as well.
