Rattrap



..

Alliance: Maximal
Identification: Rat

Comments: Since Rattrap was part of the very first releases, he was released on a "rock bubble" package (see packaging designs for more info and above pic). The newer release is on a "soft bubble" card which you can see on second year releases. Each one of the designs is nice but the very first release has a slicker look (and is therefore a variation which I do not collect)!!!

The figures on the two are exactly the same!! Rattrap is a gray rat with brown on his back and tail. He also has pink feet and orange eyes (plus a mean freakin look on his face). His rat form looks nice although not as "cute" and "cuddly" as his TV counterpart.

To transform Rattrap, you pull up his tail. The spring automatically shoots him to robot form. Not a bad trick (although the legs do tend to hinder a perfect transformation). In robot form you'll notice a lot of the TV series look. I think he looks neat (although the back section tends to hang out and throw off his balance a bit). Once in robot mode, you can grab the two pieces of his gun which are hidden within his back skin. Fit the two pieces together and you have Rattrap's weapon/blaster.

Although not as impressive or gimmick ridden as newer BW figs, Rattrap is a decent try. Especially if you're a fan of the TV series guy (I know I am) you have to have him. He's a tough find but worth it for the money. So......"Go buy him chopper face"!!!

 


Scouring city streets for Predacon enemies, Rattrap maintains his strength by feeding on grunge and grime and any wretched refuse he may encounter along the way. A top-notch soldier, his fellow Maximals rely on his reconnaissance reports to locate enemy outposts. They respect him....but they wouldn't dare to share his meals!
