Soundwave, who was ratbats subordinate, was his spy and was helping megatron...Soundwave betrayed ratbat for megs and put ratbat into a cassette during the decepticon uprising.
That Ratbat figure is a fantastic reuse of the Sweeper mold. The color scheme really pops. I don’t know anything about IDW Ratbat, but this figure is really impressive in both modes.
They should have made this pack Orion and Megatron and the other Ratbat and Shockwave. Call them the Brothers of Cybertron and Golden Age Senators packs. Edit: 9:00 He was turned into cyber-bay by his former henchman, Soundwave. Ratbat was supplying the Decepticon uprising, his own machinations to take power. Soundwave ended up believing in Megatron’s cause and turned on Ratbat because he was a source of corruption that oppressed Cybertron. After the war, Ratbat takes command while still a cassette. Leading the Cons while the Autobots kept them prisoners. His scheming cost him his life. He would be assassinated by Arcee on the orders of Prowl.
At this point I'm all in with the Megatron recolors. I have done it for Sideswipe and the Seekers so why not. Poor guy had to have a little surgery right out of the box though.PLEASE HASBRO STOP THE BLEEDING! WE NEED A DIFFERENT MEGS MOLD! 🤞🥺😥
Something I've just realized is this mold might make a good retool for a Legacy Beast Wars Universe Depth Charge if they can figure out how to alter it so he has his manta ray alt mode
I was super pissed in the first minute that you were calling them just repaints but I held back my rage because I'm a reasonable man and I knew you'd take a closer look. I really like what Hasbro did here.
My wallet & I really wanted to hate this set....but damn is it good looking lol hopefully it goes on clearance at some point to atleast give me a small win 😆
As long as the paint apps are top notch, I can dig the repaints for these TF. Glad they are good looking and have just enough re-tool to justify another purchase. That black and purple on Ratbat just pops so well.
Awesome review of Senator Ratbat and Miner Megatron, Patriot Prime! This set is quite neat for what it is! Love seeing more IDW characters getting more love. Keep up the great work, man!

Short story: Ratbat pissed of Soundwave, who proceeded to transfer his mind to a cassette body

"..Fortnite pickaxe for Megatron and I dig it.' -Patriot Prime Wordplay, heh.
Hell...I didn't notice I did that.
My Smartassedness just flows naturally. 😀

Yes sir.
I was really surprised by how much I liked this set.
The book "Transformers Exodus" gives a good story for these two bots. Tells how Rat-bat gets subdued by Soundwave.

I'm a fan of all that is Megatron 🤗

that black and purple on ratbat is awesome!!!!
how it happen was he send soundwave to kill megatron but swapped and betrayed ratbat and took his spark and putted it in a bat cassette body.
Both bots look good especially ratbat he is one of my favorite cons thanks
No problem 👍

Thanks brutha.
I am a Megatron fan but don't care for this one. Yeah that tank mode looked really bad. Cool post.
Great review PPR, as always. I think fans of IDW really got a treat with this set.
I think so too!

You bet, thanks for popping in.
It's a pretty neat set

@@PatriotPrimeReviews I'm like you on that, then. how did that happen to Ratbat??
So. A rat of a senator comes with a miner? Cybertron politics is no better than earth politics 🤷♂️
