This looks awesome, didn't really like his look in Transtech though (only the top half of him looked kind of cool) :/

fourth-heir In reply to CocoaLoco1 [2009-09-11 21:03:57 +0000 UTC]

Glad you like it I'll guess your other comment is about his appearance in Beast Machines since there is no official TransTech Ratty that I'm aware of

I really like that design better than his BM redesign. I would have liked to have seen TransTech come to fruitation and see what they came up with...too bad.

I really didn't think BM was that bad (compaired to RiD, Armada, Energon, and Cybertron).

Thanks for the fave - glad you like it

I thought BM was a great series myself - we got some fantastic toys from it

I didn't care to much about the Pacafistic Preacher Primal became in BM. But my view of BM has become less and less harsh as the new stuff comes out. Mainframe still rocks.

As in-depth as you feel like giving. :3

Not like it could be any other way. XD

If it ends up to be a hueg page (seems unlikely, but what do i know), that's okay. XD I like reading long things.

TransTech?

I'll presume you're asking what TransTech is. It was the proposed sequel to Beast Machines but was scrapped in favour of developing TF: Armada (with the RiD series imported from Japan to fill the year long gap whilst development took place). See some of the TT design concepts here [link]

TransTech is the abandoned sequel to Beast Machines. You can see some of the design work and even prototype toys in these forums here, [link]

Thanxx for the link, i enjoyed Beastmachines but i didnt like the way TF Universe just tried to piss all over it and pretend it was a screwup

fourth-heir In reply to TheBoo [2006-02-05 17:49:17 +0000 UTC]

The TF:Universe story was probably just a kneejerk response to the bad feedback they got from the BW fans who didn't like what had been done to their fave characters. Nothing much wrong with BM in my book

TheBoo In reply to fourth-heir [2006-02-05 19:00:25 +0000 UTC]

i agree, sure there was far too much running away in BM, and they didnt carry the humour of BW into BM (humour in darkness can be even more scary lol), but overall i liked the show. i really enjoyed primal becoming a spiritual Guru and the "art of transforming", that had a really good point to it for me because ive tought people armed and unarmed combat for a long time and theres a spirituality and respect for nature/life you can get doing combat...lol anyway i could go on and on

nice homage to deathshead with your avvie by the way

Thanks - I'd wanted a figure of him for a looong time so when the Marvel Legends Colossus was released it was the first thing I thought of A full length pic of the figure is one of the first pieces in my gallery if you're interested in seeing him.

Thanks guys - I'm glad you like my work!

TransTech was originally planned to follow on from Beast Machines and reimagined all the old favourites as hi-tech futuristic machines (the toys would have been made largely transparent and contained coloured LEDs which would change colour depending on mode apparently). There were only six characters designed before the idea got scrapped as far as I'm aware and only Starscream made it as far as a prototype model (he looks pretty cool). This design is for a contest that's running on several TF forums at the moment. If you click on the link below you'll see the original six plus some more entries for the contest (mine and others)...

This is awesome! Ratty was my fave, along with old DB. Although, I don't know what TransTech is, this pic is kickin'. Keep it up.
