I finally opened Voyager Ratchet, which has been sitting in my closet for almost a week (Too damn busy). I noticed that his left hand could move slightly at the wrist, and that its thumb was also jointed. But the black forearm hinders any real articulation. So, I removed very small sections of the black plastic (areas within the red outlines) with a razor blade...

 

...now the wrist can bend AND the thumb can open wider!

 

 

Then, I removed the silver CLOWN nose paint app from the face, and added a silver mouth instead. Also increased the eyebrow silver.

 

 

Ratchet is a wonderfully articulated figure, and the BEST movie toy I pwn.

 

Nice. I like the finger adjustments.

Yes, the joint is tight (and directly under a screw in case it ever gets loose).

yeah I just got ratchet yesterday and noticed this too. He's a cool fig, but IMO the weakest of the movie autobots.

Wow! Nice job. A few small touch ups really go a long way at making this great figure even better.
