    My problem with ER Ratchet's wrist was there right out of the box, so if the stock fist didn't have trouble then you didn't have the same problem I had.

    Thanks!

    I actually had a bicep swivel issue with mine that I never brought up.

    When I attempt to rotate it 360, it just pops off, no matter how slowly or carefully I do it. I looked into mold flash, and all the usual things that will cause this.

    In the end, it appears that the mushroom peg just isn't sitting in as deep as the other bicep. (which I guess in the end is a type of mold flash on the cup part that accepts the mushroom peg. I fiddle with it a bit and tried to clean stuff out and deepen it a bit. In the end it now holds, but you can still see it sticking out like a millimeter further than the other side.

    Only issue I ever ran into with my Ratchet was a loose shoulderpin (for the outward movement).

    I've had several issues in this WFC era with mushroom pegs on figures. Burs or deformation that either prevents rotation or pops the peg or of place. Not on my copy of Ratchet though. I think it's got a little better over time.

    Does the red plastic have a slight sparkle to it to match the red paint on the figure? It almost looks like it does in your photo here.

    I have a left hand that’s a little loose with the Nonnef hand but not like it falls out. It just comes off easy. Nothing a little polish or glue dabbed on can’t fix. Actually had to do it with crosshairs hip pieces when I did that switch because they were really floppy

    For people who have installed the hands on Ratchet, anyone have any trouble getting him to hold his weapons now? They just won't plug in to the 5mm ports on the fists for me. Thinking I'll try to shave away just a smidge of the surface inside the hole to help. Has anyone had the same issue and remedied it?

    Same, the left hand is a little wobbly, but doesn't seem to fall out.

    Yeah, some things don't fit as well as others do, but they go on eventually, they could stand to be shaved down just a tiny bit.

    its a little difficult fit with this gun

    That’s also a Nonnef gun from his minibots weapons pack. The hand will just slide right off but it’s not that big of a deal. I haven’t reinforced the peg yet.

    Siege Ratchet is pretty tight-fisted with his weapons. Thought about shaving the holes a little, but haven't gotten around to it.
    ......might do it now, since I'm thinking about it again.

    I use the Bumblebee Gun that came with the Centurion Weaponizer pack (which Ratchet was using two of during his death scene in the film) along with a POTP-Slug Nonnef gun that's small enough to use in place of a second Bumblebee gun. Ideally I'd like to have two Bumblebee guns, but it's not worth buying another one of those sets just for one.

    Could always use 2 guns from deluxe cyberverse bumblebee, they're based on the same design and would be cheaper to get

    There’s only one deluxe cyberverse bumblebee.

    Deluxe Cyberverse Bumblebee

    However, he’s not available for $20 anymore, it seems.

    This one, the gun isn't an exact recreation of the design, but it was definitely inspired by it

    If ebay is an option you can

    Do you have a link to where you can get the Go Better kits you mention? For Cordon and Spinout, correct? I’m not finding anything on eBay or TFSarari? @TFXProtector
