The new Transformers Collectors Club magazine is shipping to fans and we've got news on the first Pirates vs. Knights figure thanks to the Allspark's member NightViper who worked on the Club Magazine comic. He has shared some of the details on the selection of the Tranformers Prime Ratchet base figure mold that was selected as the first Pirate figure in the set. Read on the for the details on how and why they settled on this figure. UPDATE: The image has been posted on the BotCon twitter page. What do you think? Leave a comment below about this figure.
But after playing around with the transformation, how that related to the deco, the mold layout, and the exaggerated proportions (tiny head is tiny!), it didn't really work. Ratchet was actually the third option explored, but the robot mode was just perfect for him. Vehicle mode coincidentally became another emergency vehicle which some fans may like...and others not so much.
