    You've piqued my interest in AM Ratchet...How would you rate his Micron next to Gora and Bulo (the only ones I currently have in my collection)? Can you get his chest/collar stickers to lie flat against the plastic or is crinkling in this area unavoidable? Cheers mate.
    I highly rate him. I think his weapons mode is very versatile and would translate across both Deluxes and Voyagers very well. A point I failed to make previously is that the BB and CJ microns are also too big for their Autobot partners. This mini-con works well across all scales.

    The chest sticker does not lay flat. On parts it does but b/c the surface is uneven, you can see a gap from the bottom up. Doesn't instill great confidence but it looks quite good front on and from above. Crinkling looks avoidable as the area isn't area you'd commonly touch and it isn't touched in transformation.

    The stickers that particularly bother me though are the two on the side blades. They sit partially on top of open hole. Not happy about that as it is very high candidate for crinkling or even just peeling off by accident if placed in storage and then rolls around.

    That's a shame about the chest sticker, if it can't sit well then they really should have painted that area.

    Those blade stickers sound a bit strange. Why would they have them resting over a hole I wonder?
