    The obvious comment of the day: Shouldn't that have been Rattrap? Or even Ratbat? :D

    If anybody is curious, it's a design previously used in the mobile collectible app Quidd back in September.

    The design and images for Takara Legends manga Rattrap were right there, man.

    I expected that when the MP Rattrap came out, it would come out with that coin.

    Looks like a mouse wearing Bee's armor. But a fan can hope right. I'd love an MP Rat Trap

    ... which had no resemblance to the Chinese zodiac animals.

    Me too bud.

    That may be true, for the most part, but, most of the time, they did use the colors for that year, and they were fun.

    I'll echo the sentiments of others and say: What a missed opportunity, man. You know there had to be one designer that was like "Hey, maybe we should go with Rattrap?" and the higher ups were like "Naw, we've got a better idea."

    So have they given up on the "Year of the" special edition figures? Granted some of the decos weren't great, but by and large they were good.

    There were two ways to go about this. 1. Use transformers that resemble the animals or turn into them. 2. Make designs for each year with a different transformer each year interacting with said animal.

    They botched the first royally but almost got the second if it weren't' for the fact it just reuses Optimus, Megatron and Bumblebee four times each. What a missed opportunity.

    So instead of figures with fancy paint jobs we get... coins with reused artwork. Great...
