Speed Racer Transforming Battle Rig
Posted: Fri Feb 15, 2008 8:55 pmI came across this on BBTS. Its still in preorder status, so I hope no one else has posted about this. I looked but didn't find anything.

Now, some of you know that I like to "think outside the box" about TFs, as well as other stuff, and see how it could be used in ways that the manufacturer never intended.
With that in mind, let me tell you what I think about this. Since it doesn't transform into a robot, it reminds both of G1 Prime's trailer, as well as G1 Ratchet's battle/repair platform. More Ratchet than Prime, though. So that got me to thinking. Depending on what it looks like in person, you could consider this a drone controlled by Animated Ratchet, serving as an emergency mobile repair bay and battle platform. It follows Ratchet around on most missions, allowing Ratchet to do more extensive repairs in the field.
Since it is already white and red, I'm thinking of getting one, & kitbashing it, removing the sixes, and adding an ambulance lightbar. Don't have any idea what to do with the Speed Racer Mach 6 that comes with this Battle Rig, but I still think it would be cool to display Ratchet in the repair bay working on another TF.
Let me know what you guys think!
