    Sup guys. Just did some touch ups on this guy.

    Eyes- painted them with Metallic Blue pearl

    Head- Detailed with Metallic Gun metal gray and added a small red spot on his head to match a cgi render i saw

    Torso- Used Metallic gun metal gray on his chest lights, and Metallic blue pearl on his lower lights

    Arms and Legs- Detailed with Gun Metal gray

    As usual, here's a backstory for him in my stopmotion series, which also explains why i am gonna use this figure rather than his Voyager self-

    Bio-
    At the meeting of Division Commanders, Ratchet realized how much the others were sacrificing to defeat the raging Decepticon forces. Thinking that he could help on the front lines, he gathered his top 3 reconstruction medics, Jolt, Smokescreen, and Wheeljack, and had them rebuild him a smaller body. His new body gives him more agility, allows him to balance better, and fire more ammunition with his new weapon.

    The reason why there are no altmode pics is because it's relatively the same, except for the head lights

    Thanks for being the first comment. Yeah, I didn't know if i would like it because of the size difference with the other movie characters, but I love his look now. I'm still trying to figure out what color his gun should be
