Toy Review - Transformers Generation TG-20 Ratbat

[BigTransformerTrev]

I really love this figure. From the moment I took him out of his packaging I was blown away by how fantastic the paint job is on this guy! The purple, gold and black together really pop!

The head sculpt is fantastic, looks so much like the Megatron Origins version! Really looks noble yet nasty at the same time with a bunch of bat-helmet thrown in for good measure. This figure screams 'Corrupt Senator Ratbat' in waves!

Transformation is the same as Generations Scourge. Found it a little more difficult simply as the joints were very stiff and tight on mine on his arms, and conversely his hip joints were a little loose so was initially hard to get him to stand straight.

Overall a fantastic figure! I am getting more and more sold on the Takara imports, much to the lamentation of my bank account. Now to finally bust out my Universe Ratbat and do some comparison pics

Nice! I bought Overkill from Hursticon a couple of months ago, will have to give it a try. Personally for my version of him in a bat form I go this direction:

At least you can feel safe buying the TakTom version of these sort of molds, as Hasbro has said that pretty much all the pre-DOTM stuff is simply not doable with current budgets and pricing.

So sad we never got Hardhead out of Gen Warpath. That was a potentially interesting one.
