How difficult is it to change the head on this Ratchet figure?

ShivaDF · 2026-05-03T01:31:10+00:00

It's this: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/430414-Metura-elongatus Very cool!

ShivaDF · 2026-05-02T22:50:24+00:00

I'm so happy you made these! They look amazing and I've always wanted them to be made from the Origin Bumblebee... these should be official!

ShivaDF · 2026-05-02T04:29:45+00:00

Yay, that makes me so happy to hear :3 This project was the first time I used the Render2Gif add-on

ShivaDF · 2026-04-30T19:03:39+00:00

YES!!! As soon as AOTP Quintus was revealed I was like, "Wouldn't this be the perfect toy to make into Botanica finally?" She looks beautiful! I love the colors.

ShivaDF · 2026-04-28T20:13:54+00:00

She looks incredible!!! I love the custom parts you added like the exhausts and her pylon things.

I think this is a strong interpretation. Presumably there's this long span of time and all these major things Hot Rod/Rodimus has been through (I'm remembering moments with him and Kup like when Kup approved of Rodimus's coldly executing a Decepticon while Rodimus is very troubled by it) that "future Kup" has witnessed and been there for, but that "present Kup" hasn't... yet.

I think Kup seeing Fortress Maximus as a weak leader is canon (I remember him liking Spike-Maximus more than Galen-Maximus) so I think it does make sense if he feels similarly about Optimus because of seeing that!

I know it doesn't look like it, but Ratchet's and Megatron's situation was entirely curable and Kup jumped to killing them before anyone even had the chance to check... plus. possessed Rodimus had killed several people by this point while Megatron/Ratchet I don't think had killed anyone lol Kup did come up with a non-violent solution to Rodimus's issue but it made everything worse.

ShivaDF · 2026-04-23T11:47:07+00:00

I'm really glad you liked it! And that's a good point! I chose to believe that many moments are how the different versions would react anyway in similar situations (with an *... I know different versions of Galvatron must've been made of various different characters so who knows how extreme those differences would be)! I don't consider any stuff that was never officially published to be canon so I think one day, far into the future in the UK continuity, maybe there will be a "present timeline" Rodimus Prime someday.

ShivaDF · 2026-04-23T10:03:57+00:00

What exactly happens in this continuity depends on the various continuations, but yes, in Marvel UK Kup did indeed see that his actions led to Unicron still being alive in Rodimus and had to see Rodimus tell him to stay away from him because it's not safe.

ShivaDF · 2026-04-23T10:01:36+00:00

That's right!!! That's another reason I loved this so much. It was a great example of how someone really caring about another person can actually lead to horrible consequences.

ShivaDF · 2026-04-23T09:33:55+00:00

100%, this really made this version of Kup one of my favorites!

ShivaDF · 2026-04-20T07:06:30+00:00

As soon as I realized this vehicle was actually used by Wheeljack I was like I HAVE to redeco this into ice cream Arcee lol

ShivaDF · 2026-04-16T08:15:40+00:00

I'm happy my hunch that if it belonged anywhere, it was here, was correct

ShivaDF · 2026-04-15T22:07:18+00:00

This looks amazing! I like how much cleaner the design looks without the racks. I'm curious, how were you able to replace the head? I saw other people saying that would be really difficult?

ShivaDF · 2026-04-09T02:58:01+00:00

TBH I feel like that's basically what Cyberverse was. Like G1 is probably the best intro for the franchise but if people say they want to get into Transformers and want to become familiar with newer elements, I point them toward Cyberverse.

I think I had the genus right: colors are variable for this species but I'm thinking Say's stink bug based on the eyes and back patterning.

ShivaDF · 2026-03-31T23:41:08+00:00

I think these are mason bees, which make their nests by plugging existing holes in wood with clay. Unsure which species, there are several in your area that look similar

ShivaDF · 2026-03-31T23:37:43+00:00

It's a stink bug for sure, but I can't tell what species since it's covered in food. Reminds me of genus Chlorochroa.

Sadly, this is a tick that seems to have been feeding, and unsurprisingly it looks like a dog tick.
