Rescue Bots Heatwave and Magnificus

Props to Shinobitron for doing this headswap first. Smoulder's head on Rescue Ratchet was a great idea! I took it a step further after seeing Playschool's new Rescue Bots Heatwave and wanted a fire/rescue vehicle but in regular TF style. I constructed some shoulder cannons from various parts and a blazing axe from a DCU weapon. An extended light bar came from movie Longarm. The knees were modded to allow him to stand straight up, shoulders panels modded to fold all the way in, and bumper that now swings down and locks the chest in place. Now Heatwave is ready to roll!

The head mod requires you to install one of those yellowsub ball joints mentioned in my guides, it fits Smoulder's head. You'll need Loctite's 2-part plastic superglue system to affix it in place of the old swivel plug and a drill. This is a great way to turn your Ratchet into someone else

Magnificus was made from, you guessed it, a RTS Perceptor. I wanted to try out Testors One Coat Lacquer 'Blazing Black' which turned out to be a glossy metallic black. The metallic fleck-look is pretty nice. I added the mouthguard, modded his shoulder cannon with a 5mm plug (or whatever the mechtech standard is) so he can hold it, and gave him one of Ravage's cannons with a plug attached to the bottom. Ga'mede was made from the parts of 3 different Human Alliance figures and painted up to look like his microman counterpart.
