whoo okay so here's my first kitbash, shattered glass ratchet
im not COMPLETELY done, i still have to touch everything up and add the first-aid cross on his left arm
the bonesaw(more like crap-saw) was made from mighty putty(LONG LIVE BILLY MAYS' LEGACY) and yes i know its not the best apoxie but i was in no position to get the better kinds
i also made the head using roadblock's head(cant let any piece of it go to waste)and just removed the top of the head and sculpted the helmet and the crest on it
its a pretty bad head because the head is not very accurate with the scoops in the front and he looks too "sane", another minus is there is no way to actually "cover" his head in vehicle mode which means ill probably keep him in robot mode
i sort of contradict myself about saying not letting any piece go to waste since i lack his crane/weapon
my plan is if i have enough spare time ill sculpt more weapons or a stretcher/shield that can attach to the back
ratchet's windshield is still red because it matched with the other small parts of red on it, though i'll paint it scrubs green like the other parts if recommended
im not going to bore you with excuses, here it is

Strength: 4
Intelligence: 8
Speed: 4
Endurance: 5
Rank: 7
Courage: 8
Firepower: 3
Skill: 10

While Ratchet is the Autobots medic, the subjects sent into his room always emerge with a flamethrower for an arm or a cannon for a leg, with their wounds never actually tended to. He would rather make them "better" by tinkering with their parts. With his oil-stained saw handy, Ratchet is always ready to lend you a new hand, or, in this case, a grappling-gun.

more images though one of them looks awful
also i have another subject
knowing that originally this toy was from the energon line, it has the ability to powerlink
however, i think we all know, that his combined form is awful, both ways
but i wanted to take advantage of the opening front and turn it into something else
so, should i change it into an interior or a spark chamber

BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS TWO HANDS
FIVE DIGITS? PFFFT
also i had a bit of a mishap with the crest and had to superglue it back on, im probably not going to be using mighty putty to make thin objects or anything in general anymore

If you ask me, you did a killer job on SG Ratchet.

Even if it must have taken a long while, you still came out on top in the end.

I love it. The pics are running off the side for me. And not to break your heart, what you have is great, butI coulda sworn one of the member comics had a picture of ratchet, and he was painted like the constructicons of our world, just as they were painted like him

by **The Royalty** » Fri Jul 17, 2009 7:50 pm

although ive never actually read the comics(yet), the constructicons were in the protectobots colorscheme rather than ratchets from the pictures ive seen
and from what ive seen on the wiki, ratchet's just sort of in a more modern doctor-esque colorscheme that's taken a sinister turn what with the scrubs green and white
but honestly ive only seen ratchet and the constructicons in like one panel so i cant really be one hundred percent sure
really, though, thanks for the positive feedback guys
