Between the recent chat about Ratchet's head in the Poll thread, and a recent tweet from Maz with a lovely pic of the Ratchet toy, I wanted to try and go back and make something of the toy that was a bit more dynamic than we got with his more toy based depictions.
STAGE 1 - going from memory and no reference
STAGE 2 - with references and the classic Marvel US colour palette.
STAGE 3 - tweaked and made to fit Warrior School

Well after Ratchet, how could I not look at his opposite number?

Are you taking requests? How about one of toy Ratchet smashing Starscream in TFUS #78?

Ooooh.

Not quite ready to tackle Megatron yet.
Went back to the first Ratchet and tweaked him further.

Some final edits this morning to tidy some screentones and make Ratchet's windshield pop a bit more and a few other small niggly things I spotted.

I've amended the 2nd post before this one with the up to date video if anyone wants to spend 11 minutes or so watching this come together.

Yeah, I was holding off on commenting but would have done so if you'd left his windscreen looking like a frame with no glass.

I had done the halftone for the colours of Megatron and the background but it wasn't popping enough!
Post by Andy Turnbull on Oct 14, 2019 21:14:27 GMT
Anyhoo.
I am onto the next one - not the merged Megatron/Ratchet pic as I can't see it in my head yet.
So on to your request

Cheers.
The toy-based Ratchet stuff seems to be going down well. I'm going to 3d model it at some point and see if I can't do a shapeways kit for it, as there's a toy to be made.

This seems like a perfect time to set Nick's 3d printer to work!!
