Botcon 2016: Part 2 - Ratchet

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

Hahaha I love your take on the ironhide figure. awesome

[@chrisvellner3922]

Totally agree. that idea should be cannon. (wasn't TF: Energon Ironhide a "cadet"?)

[@camzilla51]

+Chris Vellner yes, but he was also a different Ironhide altogether.

*CW Ratchet only gets a Botcon release and angers many fans* Takara: Hold my beer.

[@awesomeoptimusstudios2262]

1:31 "Red diaper" lol. Good job tho with Ratchet!

[@camzilla51]

Thanks!

[@awesomeoptimusstudios2262]

+camzilla51 IDW designs are awesome man!

[@supermegatron1245]

Dude I'm so glad you are making videos again. Glad to see more botcon toy coverage from you.

[@LukeHanavan]

No dislikes, good job!

[@notsoalex]

Great review. It was kind of dochey of FunPub to make the Enigma of Combination exclusive to this convention at this customization area. The Enigma of Combination is such a big setpiece.

[@JomasterTheSecond]

Ah yes, the classic Comic Ratchet Red Diaper™.

[@geekinitwithjimclassic8240]

I really wanted Shattered Glass Ratchet.... ::sigh::

[@chrisvellner3922]

How does someone join the TF Club? Does it involve a Quest? or "magic underwear"?

[@camzilla51]

+Chris Vellner unfortunately, the club is indeed coming to an end. They are no longer accepting membership applications. );

[@elitegamer21005]

I would have replaced Medix with a Minerva

[@sandstorm-2508]

Can you sell his G2 sticers?Please

[@greyfoxzero]

Why not just make a third party head for "first aid"?

[@camzilla51]

Well, there are heads on shapeways. But even so, the parts layout is a little different. First Aid can certainly be close enough, but it would take a lot of work to get to an accurate look for ratchet. Also, neat fact: every first aid toy used to have a ratchet head pre-molded onto the tree, and assemblers would just have to throw away whichever head was not needed. That means thousands of perfect ratchet heads right in the trash. I kept my spare first aid head from this build.

part 3?

[@camzilla51]

Yeeeeeeessss 😉

[@nicholashermanus2027]

+camzilla51 when!?

[@camzilla51]

+Nicholas Hermanus to be honest, I'm lucky I got out part 2 so quickly. I've got two weeks left of college, so schoolwork is heavy right now. I could finish the video by next week or in 2 weeks after its all over, really. Obviously I wanna get it out asap to keep everything as close to Botcon as possible, but school has to come first for just a bit longer.

[@nicholashermanus2027]

+camzilla51 sorry not to pressure you, take all the time you need. and best of luck to you in school, I know its a pain sometimes

[@camzilla51]

+Nicholas Hermanus thanks, no worries! I'm also glad you asked because I can say what's going on for whoever else wants to know.
