    First post updated with all new photos (alt mode included)!

    Thank you!

    Right now I have to get back on to another Bumblebee commission. After that, we'll see! No plans at the moment...

    I love all the updates! Hope you don't mind me using this to mod my '07 Ratchet now that I'm finished with my 'Trilogy Bee inspired by your Double Blaster forum...

    Much appreciated. This custom took approximately 36 hours to complete, but parts-wise, I just used the voyager Ratchet as the base + Dlx RotF Nest Ratchet + HftD ratchet's weapon + several 3D printed parts + a couple washers + an extra set of voyager hands for the extra fingers count + Reprolabels stickers and Testors paints. It was a lot of labor!

    Would love to have the parts to make my custom happen (yeah I know I've been rather annoying) but I really would like to know how the 3d parts look like that you've mentioned

    Very impressive work! I'm tempted toward a commission as well after seeing AOE. :D  Ratchet deserves a figure worthy of him.

    If I had $200-300 to drop atm I'd commission one. Truly a fantastic job and would be worth every dollar.

    Guess it's time to start saving up.

    This is by far the best Ratchet I have seen. I have a question. You used the arm joints from the hftd deluxe to connect the arms to the body, but what is the gold piece that is connecting them? Anyway great job man!! Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see it finished.

    Ok after studying the photos I figured out where the arms are screwed in. Now I can't figure out what type of hinge you used to allow the wheel on the hips to rotate? Keep it up!!!!
