Recently I got the 'third party' add on for g1 Ratchet (GT-01R, the one with arms), and I still don't think it's enough. I think that FansProject or TFClub or some other 'third party' group who have previously made complete figures should make a whole g1 cartoon styled Ironhide/Ratchet figure. If these guys can make 'NotDevastator' and Warbot Defender, how hard would it be to make a g1 type 'brick'? Anyone agree with me?
Nope I've already got an Ironhide & Ratchet but I would gladly purchase a Trailbreaker or any of the dinobots minus Grimlock.
I definitely don't want a G1 brick but if a 3rd party company were to make a G1 cartoon model accurate or IDW comic Ironhide and Ratchet I'd buy them instantly.
Ironhide and Ratchet already have their iterations on the classics line. I would personally love to see them made by 3rd party company BUT NOT AS MUCH AS third party making things that hasbro WON'T EVEN BOTHER TOUCHING. You know what they are? COMBINERS!
I remember Jizai was working on one, but seems to have given up once Universe Ironhide came to light.
I'd buy one. But I think I'm happy with my Henkei version. If one were to be made I think it would be more of a job for TFclub or iGear.
Thing is, I want a R/I that would fit in with my g1 collection. Now that I think about it, even some kind of hollow snap on lower body would be nice.
