Fun fact: you can make rattrap stand like the show. Here's how to do it: unpeg the flap that pegs the arms in place, rotate the tail all the way up, bring down the tail flap and peg it into the legs, grab the legs and bring them down, grab the head and bring it down. Thats it! He has a hollow chest and there's no posability but its classic.
@tawdryhepburn46863 жыл бұрын
You can fix the issue with RatTrap’s legs by twisting the mid-calf ball joint to the side. That way it locks into place and it doesn’t leave the figure perpetually looking like he’s just suffered a brutal compound fracture.

Am I the only one seeing Rattrap's robot hands as big orange rat balls when he's in beast mode? Like, I haven't seen any video on him comment on how he just flat out has an orange scrotum on display out the back. It's weird, because I've had a mouse, not to get too graphic, but other than the color and the 5 mm ports, that's pretty much what a mouse's balls look like, about the right size, and exactly where they end up. Like, if you have had a male mouse, or any kind of domesticated rodent, and you got it in your hand, and it turns around, chances are you've been flashed by a giant rat scrotum. I guess I can't blame the toy for being accurate, but it seems a bit odd that Hasbro didn't desperately try to tuck his fists further in to avoid the sheer scrotumnal prominence.

I have Legacy Nemesis Prime and i have basically the dame issues with that back panel, it doesnt peg in 90% of the time, and when it does it forces the crotch piece to become untabbed. Though i still adore him personally, maybe its the bright blue axe he came with, he looks amazing with it pegged in. I think the colours just raise it up in general. Black be a good colour for a prime.
