Transmetal Rattrap


Finally arrived after SOOO long...

Beast Mode
He's a ...big rat. Very nicely done, exact to the show, if I may say so. Mainly brown and a kind of light gold. The torso, rear wheels and the tip of the tail are metallic red with orange here and there. Oh, and he has green eyes. Rather unposeable. And the tail is held by Rattrap's right hand, making it seem like a fist sticking out of his butt. The lower torso of the robot can very much be seen from the front and side, apart from the fist out of his ass.


Vehicle Mode
Rather much like the show. He seems to be the only one who can actually roll along the floor, apart from Primal and Tarantulas, not that they can roll much. It involves turning the fore paws up, thus deploying the front wheels, and then pull up the rear wheels, fold in the feet, pull up the gimpy exhaust pipes, and then position the tail. And Dinobot can sit on him, like in the show.
Robot Mode
A very involved transformation. It's cool how his upper torso is in his rat head. Robot mode is metallic blue (Not Vac-metallised), same shade of gold and gray. "Brain" and chest badge are orange in color. Would look better in gold IMO. Big backpack makes him rather unstable in most poses. But in this case, the backpack is inverted, unlike the show, where the rear wheels are at the top. No gun, but has the super- poseable tail, with 11 joints. Doesn't have the wheel-shield in the show, but if you extend the wheel and twist it a little, you can make it seem like has one, although it can't be raised.
Close to the show's, apart from the problems mentioned above. You should get this guy.
