The Rattler was the Cobra jet based off the A-10 Thunderbolt.
Nope. In fact, I just finished the last bit of fabrication and will be taking pictures tomorrow.But this is looking interesting. Are you planning to do anything with the space between the two front treads?

Unfortunately, the tracks don?t roll very well, since only a few of the wheels actually move. However, the intent was indeed to have them actually work, but it just wasn?t feasable. If he were bigger, then I could get all the wheels working, but? I have been tempted to attach a set of small wheels to him so he could actually roll along the ground, but they would be painfully visible in robot mode, so I am very reluctant to do so.
I agree about the poor design of so many tracked Tranformers (particularly tank-bots like Warpath and G2 Megatron). Breaking the tracks is just not possible for a real transformer. The track would fall apart like a broken rubberband. That is also one of the problems I had with WWI Grimlock, with his forearms coming out from through his tracks, it just can?t work. Sure, he looks cool, but it just could not function.
