Well actually two questions.


1. Does lockdown come with the emp generator?

2. Does the emp generator fit on to ratchet?

I know that these questions are most likly not to be able to be answered yet but i was just wondering.

1. yes

2. there is actually a hole on Ratchet's arm that is almost identical to the one on Lockdown's, but the EMP will not stay securely. You gotta hold in in.

Some clear paint or fingernail pollish in that socket
should rectify that issue nicely.

Ratchets arm is designed to hold the EMP. It's more then likely that it doesn't hold because the reviews we've seen are of early colored prototypes.

Care to elaborate?

my ratchet is the official packaged one, not a "prototype" one and it still doesn't hold the emp generator in it's arm.

My guess is it isn't ratchets anymore. He doesn't use it anymore in the show so he apparently didn't keep it from lockdown. The toy probably is meant to imitate this. It's not meant to stay with him..he can use it..but it isn't meant to lock back into him

I'm not taking anything away from you, but anything this early in package is still early proto. It's for promotional use. It's been discussed and confirmed before so I don't see how any of the TFA stuff being bought and sold on eBay is any different. Like I said, I'm not trying to take anything away from you. But it's still early proto.

I agree its likely the socket in Ratchet's arm is just at a test shot phase. Most of what is being sold on ebay is not the final product even the packaged ones are just testshots of figures in package.

Besides in the carton Ratchet actually takes the EMP back from Lockdown so its his again.

I'm sure in the final versions of the figure it will snap tight onto his arm.

kinda looks like you're wrong huh...if hasbro is gonna be releasing these figures early...seems to stand reason teh packaged versions we have gotten, aren't prototypes like you seemed to think.

And with all due respect...look at the episodes before you say things like "he takes the emp back from lockdown so it's his again"

wrong...watch the episode again and i'll kindly accept your apology.
