    Bought me 2 Seige Ratchets at Walgreen's yesterday. I will be doing this custom as soon as I find a second Wheeljack.

    Now that I see it done, this seems rather obvious doesn't it!

    Great idea! :thumb

    Fantastic. I can't say how much I love this. This is the mode I expected to see Wheeljack take in the Siege toyline. I still hope we get an official release someday. Kudos on this custom. Great stuff.

    Well, Siege Ratchet's version of the mold hasn't to my knowledge seen a redeco yet. This could be a good one to do!

    This is very cleverly done! I'd been wondering how a Cybertronian Wheeljack could be pulled off, this does a rather nice job!

    I might have to see about obtaining a spare Ratchet or Ironhide to duplicate this.

    This is what we would’ve gotten if SOME people didn’t vote for Mirage vs Impactor. We all know how that turned out.

    A serious question here. This is so good, it makes me wonder about the future of collectibles like this. I would say this is so far superior to both the Wheeljack and the Ratchet(s) released, even though I consider the Siege line to be very good.

    How much better will 3D printing and discrete manufacturing get? You can't quite make all the pieces of that figure by oneself compared to injection molding quality. But for how much longer? Because if an individual designer can do this, then he should probably be paid by Hasbro to do them.

    Quite nice.
    I’m surprised- and saddened- that Hasbro wouldn’t be doing this.
