I just got this kit for ER Ratchet and the bumper is for left and right as the tabs on the inside you cut was not necessary if used for the correct side. I do concur though about the top not setting correctly on the back. The replacement toes should have been just slightly shorter in height to make everything fit perfectly. Regardless I enjoy your reviews of addons and all the TF products. Keep it up!
So you spent what 30 bucks for the figure then you gotta spend another 20 to make it look good jeesh what's the world coming to . Another great review Emgo thanks man
Hes a die hard collector and probably top three when it comes down to transformers reviews (one of my favorite) .. its just to bad that he needs to spend his hard earned on trash then have to go and spend more for hole fillers and table wax just to have a decent figure to 1. Do a review and 2. Have something worth looking and fiddling with in his collection . I just wish something would come out thats is of the same quality as his reviews.
Yep. E.R. Ironhide and Prowl, Amazon canceled my preoder too. Guess mine must've been in that shipment that was supposedly lost. I wanted Prowl but I'm good with Siege Ironhide and Ratchet as well.
I dint get siege ironhide or ratchet because I heard of the earth rise one coming out. Then I pre ordered the E.R iron hide and prowl and on the day of delivery it was canceled because it was out of stock. So I don’t have ironhide or ratchet
Yes, oh my god yes, I can only fine them for like $200 on Amazon or “eBay” which is ridiculous for fan favorite characters to fan like us who didn’t get a chance.
forreal !! it's a really unfortunate side effect of the franchise focusing on the nostalgic adult collector as their primary target. being a younger collector these days or one who can't afford full commitment to the hobby can get frustrating because of that.
TheLazyEyebrow actually designed a foot fix and window replacement for the earthrise vans that are probably the best you'll find, but I believe he's only got the 3d files for you to print yourself...

I got that kit 3D printed somewhere, and the toes end up kinda backwards... it's less aesthetic but avoids partsforming. That said I'm getting two of these kits because I don't mind taking them apart and I think they look better. Also, the gap fillers. The TLE's I got don't have those.
You could shave down the roof/shields slightly and make them sit flush, I bet. So between upgrade kits and Toyhax stickers, a Transformer toy now effectively costs double what you pay for the base toy but it looks oh so much better when you're done.
Seeing Iron Hide at 10:44 made me think. You know I could see him with Mystery Machine colors. From Scooby Doo. And then the idea of an entirely separate Transformer As the Mystery machine. Beachcomber because he is a Pacifist, and those are Hippy colors.
Sometimes parts forming bothers me, and sometimes it doesn't. With these kits, the new feet would bother me more than the original feet. However, I don't have either of these figures, so I guess it doesn't matter. Lol. Still a great review. Love your videos.
I bought a filler kit for Ironhide and a different foot replacement that imo looks the best of all the ones out there. It has painted windows, no part-forming. I also painted the side windows, though that has the side effect of having the black on the front of his legs in bot mode, but I don't mind it at all.
I may actually get this and the one for Kingdom huffer because they're so good. Just wish Amazon hadn't canceled my preoder for the ratchet/lifeline two pack. Hope hasbro rereleases that pack
Same, I mine got canceled too. The exclusive problem has been absolutely ridiculous. Such important characters main characters too. Been trying to get Ratchet as he's been exclusive twice! 😔
Hey emgo? Are you getting the upgrade kits for Off-road Bumblebee? I got it and they just made a upgrade kit for B-127. Its those guns he had when he was in his vehicle mode on Cybertron.
Now just get the Nonnef wheel kit for this guy and he definitely looks earth mode. I have this kit and the Nonnef one and looks WAY better than what hasbro gave us.
Hey Emgo316 like the G1 toy weigh is it possible to just keep the head in the chest when he's making some look like the G1 toy before they give him heads is that possible
@@griffinkimball2454 they were literally never in stock. I saw em once, couldn't afford them, and then never saw them again. And that was only ironhide and prowl! Never even could FIND Ratchet and the arcee repaint (can't remember the name)
The lazy eyebrow reviewer made his own feet through 3d printing that doesn't have to parts form and that give toe articulation. The only problem is that you have to print it yourself.
This upgrade Kit is SOOOO BAD! I bought the one you mentioned that is on a hinge is much better. I bough the parts forming one for Ironhide and the hinge one for Ratchet. The hinge one is MUUUCH better, it does not have that gap in vehicle mode and does not parts forms!
The one advantage this kit has is that it retains the 5mm feet holes. And the arm filler parts. Depending on your preferences, clean back windows in one piece may or may not be worth giving up power-up rocket boot capabilities.
You should get a printer man. Get a $250 Anycubic Photon Mono. It's a resin printer that doesn't produce "the crimes" as you call em, I know exactly what you mean though. An FDM printer has a resolution of like 0.1 or so for a really nice one. The resin printers go down to like 0.01, at least my Photon Mono does, more expensive ones go even lower. Once you figure out your settings, the results are absolutely gorgeous. Like you won't see ANY sign of it being printed. All in all it'll be around a $400 entry fee, but it's so worth it, especially for this kinda stuff. You can just go to thingiverse and get all this stuff for free. Just don't be an ass and sell other people's work, which I know you wouldn't do that anyway. But for your personal collection? Yeah man. I just started back collecting and only have 6 bots so far, but they've all been extensively upgraded for the better, for like 10 bucks total.
That's it? Just arm fillers and new feet for transformation? Yeah, no thanks. I'm just gonna skip these ones and get the weapon upgrade kits from Matrix Workshop. At least those will be worth my while and money. I'm personally not bothered by the ironhide/ratchet/crosshairs mold having the feet at the back of the alt mode, but I'll give credit where it's due for those who don't like that part of the transformation. They're there for those who want it gone.
This has to be one of the most horrible ER figures there is. Tracks is mechanically a bad toy, but looks good. This just looks bad (without the upgrades) and is mechanically bad. I sincerely hope they release an improved version in the studio line; ratchet and ironhide are the only figures I miss and I will not get them in the current state.

Nice. These would go well with the Earthrise Ironhide and Ratchet...IF I HAD ONE!
I know I don't even have an earth rise figure
I was gonna eventually invest in a 3D printer for my Woodworking business. Maybe being a collector i need to do it sooner than later
So you spent what 30 bucks for the figure then you gotta spend another 20 to make it look good jeesh what's the world coming to . Another great review Emgo thanks man
Started passing on these upgrades so much $$$, you’d think, EmGo spends so much on these things, just get a 3D printer

I'm glad they were
able to improve Dr Ratchet and Mr Hide
I only have the Siege Ironhide and Ratchet and I'll stick with them. Damn Hasbro for making them exclusives!
are you kidding i didn't get to experience the mold till the deseeus army drone came out.
Yep. E.R. Ironhide and Prowl, Amazon canceled my preoder too. Guess mine must've been in that shipment that was supposedly lost. I wanted Prowl but I'm good with Siege Ironhide and Ratchet as well.

The doc and the heavy needed a fresh charge
Nice one
@@ShadowRose224 thanks scout
this fixes the backs of the vans so much
I hope hasbro rereleases these dudes, it’s hard being a teenage collector who still has to ask their parents permission to buy transformers.
Yes, oh my god yes, I can only fine them for like $200 on Amazon or “eBay” which is ridiculous for fan favorite characters to fan like us who didn’t get a chance.
I know your pain

I agree LR2007
Yeah especially since Europe has like 0 of them and shipping from outside europe Can end the Price up to about 150 dollars ekstra

I love when they make kit for good figures and make them even better
I can't wait for the second half of this upgrade. It's absolutely awesome!!
I'm still holding out to see how Nonnef does the feet set, they're building up to it.
They just released a sled set if you haven't seen them already.
That kit doesn't partsform?
That's fair
@@primalconvoy They also dont want to ship to Canada if you're not buying a lot of parts.
Nonref's is better because the feet transform with no partsforming.

Have I got a deal for you!
Hasbro has done some cross-overs so why not
Oh man, I would absolutely love that! That'd be super groovy! 😁👍🏻
Such a good upgrade kit I will have to order it great job emgo keep up the good work
Sometimes parts forming bothers me, and sometimes it doesn't. With these kits, the new feet would bother me more than the original feet. However, I don't have either of these figures, so I guess it doesn't matter. Lol. Still a great review. Love your videos.
I got the swivel foot upgrade kit, they are on ebay.

I also painted the side windows, though that has the side effect of having the black on the front of his legs in bot mode, but I don't mind it at all.
Ironhide and Ratchet now receive gap fillers on their bodies and new visible feet.
thelazyeyebrow did a fantastic kit that doesn't partsform
I love these upgrade kits
Or paint that black strip red to match new "feet doors"... Would shaving down the roof that touches the new feet sit better???
I saw somewhere that there was a panel filler (I think that's what it is) and you can fill in the bottom of their feet to be the back of the vehicle
I think the kit that you were talking about at 9:22 is the upgrade kit for studio series dotm Megatron.
I hope the 10 people who have these figures enjoy this kit. All jokes aside this kit is pretty awesome
All this really does for me is make me want a Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine crossover figure more.
Oh wow, yeah! That'd be super groovy!
Love the videos you are awesome
I may actually get this and the one for Kingdom huffer because they're so good. Just wish Amazon hadn't canceled my preoder for the ratchet/lifeline two pack. Hope hasbro rereleases that pack

This is like the G1 toys all over again
TheLazyEyebrow made a kit that doesnt partsform, but he doesnt sell it pre printed unless you buy from shapeways
Awesome review
Has a 3rd part co. Created a roof/ shield for SIEGE Ironhide? That might be interesting. 🤔

I already have it. I’ll be showing that off eventually
Hey Emgo316 like the G1 toy weigh is it possible to just keep the head in the chest when he's making some look like the G1 toy before they give him heads is that possible
How do the new feet effect their height? A different set I bought made them noticably shorter.
I think the feet are inspired by the lazy eyebrow's work
Would love to get Ratchet but way way too expensive!!
It's looks BETTER!!
Did we ever get upgrade sets for siege crosshairs?
Man I really wish I could get my hands on a ratchet
Do these work on the Siege figures?
Is the Ratchet upgrade kit compatible colorwise with the Shattered Glass version?
I don't know. I don't have that one. sorry.
@@emgo316 No problem man, thanks for your videos! You're awesome
hi emgo. can you make JTI for fanstoys Insecticons? Thank you so much
Please tell me you got these two figures at a resonable price ;-;
got them for retail when they came out.
Right? I was looking for them and couldn't believe the price
I believe both of them were Amazon exclusives in 2 packs. So unless you got them when they came out...
@@emgo316 very lucky! I wish I could have found em, but they were never in stock :/
@@griffinkimball2454 they were literally never in stock. I saw em once, couldn't afford them, and then never saw them again. And that was only ironhide and prowl! Never even could FIND Ratchet and the arcee repaint (can't remember the name)
Do they also work for siege ironhide and ratchet
Does the new feet make him taller?
Now If we could get Hasbro to re-release them!
No
@@Dicedune why
I'd personally prefer a new mold. I like the mold just fine for the Siege version. But it didn't really translate to their Earth modes too well imo.
I’d love that. I need an Earth mode Ironhide that isn’t the movie version.
Because I said no
Hey dude...are you excited for Kamen rider revice
i have this kit, but havent open the ironhide 2pack. anyone know the feet upgrade without partsforming ?
The lazy eyebrow reviewer made his own feet through 3d printing that doesn't have to parts form and that give toe articulation. The only problem is that you have to print it yourself.
I like the kit but man I wish a company would make a feet kit for this figure to where you don't have to make it an even more parts formers
Yeah that parts-forming is a little ridiculous. It really shouldn't have been that difficult to engineer them so they just swiveled around...
This upgrade Kit is SOOOO BAD! I bought the one you mentioned that is on a hinge is much better. I bough the parts forming one for Ironhide and the hinge one for Ratchet. The hinge one is MUUUCH better, it does not have that gap in vehicle mode and does not parts forms!
