I've had Ratchet since 1989 and I never knew until now that the gun could plug in there.

Which version do you have? G1, Ehobby reissue or Encore?

I have the G1, and it has no problem rolling. :\

For the gun in Nissan Vannette mode. It doesn't roll? You got Encore then.

Why does Encore not roll with the gun down there?

I got my Encore mint in box for 30 >_<. I still have the original but I thought, WTF, get the Encore and sell it in a few years. I still haven't opened him and I bought him last month.

The retardedness about the Encore is that they dropped the molding of the hole a smidch lower (probably 1 millimeter if not, because he slightly rolls with Encore as seen in reviews) and so it corrosponds with the wheels and POOP! No rollie for Ironhide or Ratchet :grin:

by **ZeldaTheSwordsman** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 8:58 pm

Ah. Might have overcompensated when they were restoring the mold then.

For a moment, I was expecting pictures of Ironhide wearing a pope hat. :lol:

Anyways, back on topic. I don't own the figure. It's interesting to know this about Encore. However, I'll probably end up buying it anyways, as I'd rather get something newer than fighting the vintage market for one in good shape. (When a reissue is available, I go for it over the original)

Probably wise. You can trim it down so that he rolls with it attached. It works nicely. Not only does it give him a hidden gun, it also makes him look like he's got a drive shaft.
