Monday, October 12th, 2009ROTF Swerve – Head Fix
Thursday, September 10th, 2009Repaints! If you listen to some, they’re the bane of the completest toy collector, and proof that HasTak is an uncaring, corporate vampire out to drain your wallet dry. If you listen to others, repaints are a sign that HasTak loves us, and like that dreamy sparkly kid in biology they only want a taste of what’s in your pants.
“You’re still talking about the wallet, right?”
Huh? Oh, yeah… *sigh*
“Sarcasm?”
Sarcasm.
“Phew!”
ROTF Jolt – Head Fix
Monday, September 7th, 2009Jolt! If ever there was a tf that could benefit from some well placed leds, Jolt would be it. Even with all the lost paint apps on the final toy, some internal leds could really light up that mostly hollow and very translucent blue chest.
Ravage – Chasing Tail, Part 7
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009More drilling and then assembly in the ultimate step of the ultimate Ravage tail mod guide!
Step 6, Unbob the tail
So today’s the conclusion to the Ravage tail fix, so naturally we’re going to work on actually assembling it. That’s easy enough at first, because the bulk of it is just feeding a twist tie through each hole on each piece of the tail. Where it gets tricky is getting the tail to attach to Ravage, and getting the tip to attach so the tail doesn’t fall apart.
You could just glue the wire on there, but what if something does happen and it breaks? The twist tie needs to be easily replaceable, and that’s not going to happen if you’re using glue.
There is a way to do it, and here’s how!

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009Welcome back to the penultimate post of the ultimate Ravage tail mod guide!
Step 5, Why modders should own a pin vise.
Next up we have to drill a hole through each of the regular sections. Here’s where a pin vise comes in handy. You need something to hold a small drill bit, and a drill is probably going to be to much to use for something as small and precise as what needs to be done for this mod.

Step 3, Bob Tail!
Next you need to cut each usable section of the tail apart from the others. A usable section is just the ordinary parts, not the bits with joints already.

Saturday, July 18th, 2009Step 2, Unscrew Rear
Barring Sunstreaker (or because of him, rather), how many of my toys have asked Ratchet about that command line?
Alright, alright. So first, we’re going to remove the tail itself. To do this, we can’t just yank it out because a pin is holding it in there pretty tight. We’ll have to rearrange some parts to get the screws, but-
