    I dunno, he specifically “activates” both guns. Caminus Prime pointed it out on his insta then I saw it again in the pic above.

    Yeah, I know it's deliberate, just poking fun of animation error being a thing in Transformers (esp G1) :)

    He looks so freaking good. The MPM's are really hitting it with these past few releases and Ratchet and Starscream could be the best of the bunch.

    I did a quick edit which confirmed what I thought initially: the head is too small. A lot of movie figures suffer from this, since the toy designers seemed to be stuck in the old ways of doing things like toyetic proportions. I only upsized the head by 20% or so, and to me it looks WAY better. I still really like the base figure and I'm excited for it, but if someone does a custom head I will try and mod mine so it's still transformable while having a bigger head:

    Yeah, that looks heaps better!
    One of the reasons I love the BW Masterpieces so much is that they aren't pinheaded like most other TF toys are.

    If there is an upsized version, I may have to grab one just for the head!

    Very good point! @Lukelbs did that for MPM Optimus I believe. I ordered a custom head for my black apple Optimus so he can have a proper head too. I just need to figure out how I'm gonna fit it in the alt mode (if that's even possible).

    I had this idea while looking at the Dotm deluxe, if there's plenty of space behind his head in alt mode, you could decapitate him, cut his head in half horizontally, with a hinge at the back. Basically his head would open like a clamshell. It would be half as tall in alt mode allowing for a much larger head while still keeping good clearance. I threw together a quick sketch to try and describe it. The black represents where the head splits and how it opens in the first diagram and where the joint would be in the second

    I've searched far and wide, but I can't find any good references for how the top of Ratchet's vehicle looks like, in the TFTM/ROTF or the DOTM/AOE forms. What I mean is, inside the "rack" area, is it all black? Or is it green? I'm just curious what color it is, and what toys got it right. The only thing I know is that the original TFTM unused Ratchet car model had an all-black roof. But knowing the game's lack of any detailed accuracy, I'm taking it with grain of salt.

    (EDIT: Nope, apparently the game got this part correct lol)

    EDIT: Nevermind I guess I got my answer.

    Now the real question is, does this figure accurately show that?

    Ooh interesting. Yeah, i wonder if that is even possible to add on one of the previous figures. The original Voyager would suffer with having black legs I guess lol

    Also note that it's only black in the middle area, not by the lights or the back tire

    I like that idea! Guess we won't know how easy it will be to pull off until we get the figure in-hand.
