Title: Fixes for Animated figures

So, they started a post on Allspark because there's been apparently a lot of complaints about minor and major problems with TFA toys out of the package (in fact, Blade Raider was complaining about Ratchet...)

Does it say anything about fixing Ratchet? If so, could you post it up here? Every time I click that link my computer stalls. Not a clue why, especially since I was viewing the Allspark an hour ago <_<
Also, that's a neat fix Rod. Can't say that I think it's needed though.

Depends, you said his leg was loose? It didn't look like a ball-joint though from the photos....
If its a loose ball joint, you pop it out, spread some super glue on the ball joint itself (NOT in the socket) spread it smooth... and this next part is important... LET IT DRY and THEN you can pop it back in. Its an old fix for any loose joints since Beast Wars. He lists it there too.

Blade thought elbow grease was something a person could buy in a store. $5 says he super-glues Ratchets legs on, then super-glues Ratchet to his hand and his other one to the keyboard while attempting to make a post to ask how to unglue his legs.
So you should change that to "Let it dry overnight then put the legs back on".

:lol:
Ok, let it dry overnight, or at least dry it with a hairdr... no, just let it sit overnight OUT of the socket!
I have to do the same with my TFA Cybertron Megatron from the 2-pack!

Saw that at Wal-Mart today. Looked pretty awesome, how is it other than the loose legs on Megs?
{Edit} Just saw you posted a review on the two pack. Never mind me, its been a VERY long week.

For the record, Ratchet only has a ball-jointed neck. I'm not sure what the joint I'm talking about is called, but it ain't a ball-joint.
