Description
Name: RuckusFaction: Decepticon “Triggercons”
Function: Assault Warrior
Motto: “You can’t keep a bad ‘bot down!”
Bio: One of the most loyal of Megatron’s troops, Ruckus is always willing to take any risk for the Decepticon cause. He recklessly storms the battlefield, smashing through enemies in his armored assault vehicle mode. Almost always found smashed up and damaged at the end of a battle, but inexplicably, still functioning. Every dent and crack means one more Autobot he smashed, so he takes great pride in how banged up he gets.

A 'repaint' I did using Instructions for TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED Activators Lockdown downloaded from Hasbro's official Transformers website, [link]
Once I did crankcase, I knew I wanted to dio a ruckus somewhere in the line. Originally, I was also looking for a deluxe vehicle for him, and never would have thought of the lockdown mold, until I made Crankcase out of the activator ratchet. Then Lockdown, though a stretch, seemed more and more plausible. Especially when you take his personality into consideration. I always liked Ruckus, and don’t exactly think this homage does him all the justice he’s due, but still…I’d probably buy it. It’s hard to say, but I probably broke my own rule and added more paint apps then either of the original toys had, but…oh well.

Oh my Gawg you added more paint apps than usual?! Sure you're feeling OK, Assey? Need a tissue? Some medicine? Total bed rest for the next week or three?
All the joking aside, this is really a neat repaint of an unfortunately obscure character. The Decepticons of just about any line would benefit from having this type of character along for the ride. A soldier who wants to be on the front lines, battling it out for the greater cause and having no remorse about almost getting his chassis handed to him in just about every battle he participates in. Kinda like Animated Lugnut, but real less powerful and just as determined and loyal. Great job on this guy, Assey.

i don't know why, but I always liked those loyal badguys (like soundwave). i always liked ruckus (had him as a kid), and still dig him even today. Maybe it was my distaste for starscream, that just had me rooting for the complete other end of the spectrum.
