Gods DAMMIT.
And all our dreams of Combiner Wars Ratchet, wrenched asunder as if by some crazed mechanic with an implausible tool...

Even more devastating is that terrible use of 'you're'.
No wait, I am sympathetic. Indeed. This tells us two things:
1. Phil is about to spend a lot of money to get this.
2. I don't reckon there's any hope of a third car box set if one as easy to do as this is allowed in the custom class.

G2 ratchets stickers are brilliant. May have to cast the ratchet head and strip a first aid to make one.

It's that or spend 80 dollars on an extra ratchet toy assuming I can get one before they sell out.

No wait, I am sympathetic. Indeed. This tells us two things: 1. Phil is about to spend a lot of money to get this. Quite possibly. I'll see what AndyK can do for me. 2. I don't reckon there's any hope of a third car box set if one as easy to do as this is allowed in the custom class. I think this might be an even bigger waste of a colour scheme in the custom class than Universe G2 Sideswipe was. The only thing that's stopping me going "head of Tescos" over this is that it is so so similar to Red Alert. I'm looking at it and thinking "Will CW Prowl's head on Red Alert do?" and wishing my CW weren't 80 miles away. I'd been so so sure it was Blue Bluestreak for quite some time but hadn't mentioned it till I could find some hint of corroboration from elsewhere. Blue Bluestreak made sense, interesting variant, doesn't stop them doing more Autobots. I didn't even see Ratchet mentioned till Monday night. Oh! The clear Blue axe and HFG. That's a clever homage! www.tfu.info/2005/Autobot/BCRatchet/ratchet.htmYes I can see why they wanted Ratchet now. Which in turn helps to corroborate somke of the other homage to past Botcon toy rumours upthread. |

They sell prebuilt but unpainted custom class figures for 80. The question is how quickly they sell out.

And of course the Hand Foot Weapons for the Energon combiner limbs were clear blue and Energon is the line witch BC2005 Ratchet's base mold, Tow Line, is from! |

I... I don't understand what this is?
Is this a CW Ratchet? Why are there several of him?
I know I'm being really thick, thicker than usual, but could spell this out for me please? IN REALLY SIMPLE LANGUAGE WITH REALLY SMALL WORDS.

IN REALLY SIMPLE LANGUAGE WITH REALLY SMALL WORDS. Botcon have a customising class where you get an unpainted figure (in a new mold colour) and get to assemble and decorate it. |

It's a great idea! Though I gather it has turned less into 'people who want to know how to customise and deco figures' and more 'people piling in who want another exclusive toy to sell on ebay' for the most part due to the toy itself being exclusive rather than using an existing one.
